The material damage to Ukraine’s NJSC Naftogaz from shelling by Russian troops is more than one billion dollars. This was announced by the head of the company Alexei Chernyshov in an interview with NV.
“There were losses of more than $1 billion due to damaged or destroyed infrastructure. One of the biggest damages was the Shebelinsky Oil Refinery, the damaged tank farm,” he said.
According to Chernyshov, the damage was mainly in the Kharkiv region, which has been hit by shelling since the start of the full-scale war.
At the same time, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the company increased production, in particular, due to the increase of capacities in the western regions. Ukrgasvydobycha produced 12.5 billion cubic meters. m of natural gas (commodity).
The head of Naftogaz also noted that this year NJSC plans to produce an additional 1 billion cubic meters of gas. Private mining companies are also expected to increase.
In 2023, we will have almost 19 billion cubic meters of Ukrainian gas,” he said.
According to Chernyshov, Naftogaz ended 2022 with a loss, but in 2023 the company could make a profit.
It will be remembered that Ukraine made up for the lack of gas during the heating season through purchases in several countries.
Earlier, Chernyshov said that Ukrgasdobycha will conduct a 3D seismic survey in western Ukraine to search for gas.
