Effective Solutions by Company Experts – A Contribution to the State’s Energy Resilience
Against the backdrop of the global energy crisis and energy shortages, the issue of efficient use of own resources is becoming of strategic importance. In this context , NJSC «Nadra Ukrainy», its subsidiaries, and affiliates are consistently working to identify additional reserves, provide Ukrainian consumers with energy resources, and strengthen the energy resilience of the state.
On April 21, 2026, a joint meeting of the board of WESTGASINVEST LLC and the State Commission of Ukraine on Mineral Resources was held, during which a report on the geological and economic evaluation of the Cheremkhivsko-Strupkivske gas deposit (Ivano-Frankivsk region) was reviewed and successfully presented. The deposit is in the final stage of development. The Company’s specialists proposed technical solutions that allow for the continued operation of wells No. 7, 8, 10, and 11-Cheremkhivska with a total projected production volume of 4.5 mln m³ of gas. The recovery factor is expected to increase to 0.953 of Category C1 reserves. Similar approaches are being systematically implemented at other fields and wells owned by the Company.
The achieved results were made possible by the high level of expertise, the professionalism of the Company’s specialists, and a well-structured development strategy.

“For over four years, Ukraine has been experiencing what the entire world is now facing. The energy crisis has become global. Our task is to systematically increase efficiency at every facility, gradually scaling up production. Even small results are a step toward a larger goal: the energy resilience of the country. We are consistently working at all our facilities and are convinced that this approach will yield a tangible result in the near future,” noted Mr. Viktor Novikov, Chairman of the Board of NJSC «Nadra Ukrainy».

Operations at the final stage of development require specialized expertise: with the decrease in reservoir pressure, every cubic meter of gas requires additional technological inputs. Thanks to the implementation of modern intensification methods, optimization of well operations, and the use of mobile compressor units, it is possible to ensure a stable level of production.
WESTGASINVEST LLC is an affiliate enterprise of NJSC «Nadra Ukrainy» which owns 100% of the Company’s shares. The enterprise holds six special permits for subsoil use with hydrocarbon deposits in Lviv, Volyn, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.
It is worth noting that, in 2025, NJSC «Nadra Ukrainy» received a net profit that is double the cumulative financial result of the previous ten years of operation.
