Public Joint-Stock Company Ukrhazvydobuvannya in 2018 plans to produce 15.94 billion cubic meters of gas. This was said by the head of the board of Ukrhazdobycha Oleg Prokhorenko at a press conference in Kiev. "Overall, the company plans to increase its production to 20 billion cubic meters. The country in 2020 as a whole will extract 27 billion - it's private companies and Ukrgazdobycha, "said Prokhorenko. Recall previously reported that the gas reserves in Ukraine at the current rate of production will last for 22 years.

At the same time, if Ukraine increases the rate of production and brings it closer to the world (in Ukraine the production rate is about 2%, in the world - 10%), then the production period will decrease. We note that in November 2017 gas production in Ukraine increased by 2% and amounted to 1.7 billion cubic meters. Prior to this, Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman called the projected volume of gas production in 2017. According to him, the annual gas production in Ukraine will be 15.2 billion cubic meters.
