As of October 15, natural gas reserves in Ukraine’s underground storage facilities exceeded 12.8 billion cubic meters.
Such calculations are provided by ExPo Consulting.
“Natural gas reserves in Ukrainian UGS facilities exceeded 12.8 billion cubic meters as of October 15. At the beginning of last week (October 7), the volume of natural gas injected into Ukrainian storage facilities reached its highest level since the beginning of the year – 32.8 million cubic meters,” the report says.
ExPro noted that in addition to high production, the growth of injection volumes was also facilitated by relatively high gas supplies to Ukraine – 11 million cubic meters per day. All natural gas purchased by Naftogaz Ukrainy from Europe is pumped into the customs warehouse.
In addition, re-exports of gas from Ukrainian storage facilities have stabilized at 1.1 million cubic meters per day, which is significantly lower than imports.
“Given the continuation of the injection season and stable purchases by Naftogaz, the government’s plan of 13.2 billion cubic meters of gas in storage until November 1 is realistic, and the accumulation of resources for the winter is going according to plan,” the report says. (Ukrinform)
