The Oil and Gas Group of Ukraine puts forward an optimistic forecast for 2024 regarding gas production, which, according to their data, can reach about 15 billion cubic meters. This information was announced by the head of "Naftogaz" Oleksiy Chernyshov during an interview for "Edynykh Noviny".

According to Chernyshov, the increase in gas production is aimed at meeting the needs of all segments of the population and consumers of social categories. He emphasized that this volume will be sufficient to provide gas to all households and consumers entitled to preferential service.

In addition to gas, it is also planned to increase oil production, which should reach 2 million tons by the end of the year. This will help ensure the country's energy independence and support oil refining enterprises.

In addition to production plans, Chernyshov also noted that more than 8 billion cubic meters of gas are currently stored in underground storages. By the beginning of winter, Naftogaz plans to significantly increase this volume to 13 billion cubic meters in order to ensure stable supply to the population in the cold season.

Thus, Naftogaz's strategy for 2024 foresees the implementation of ambitious plans to expand gas and oil production, which will contribute to Ukraine's energy security and support the country's economic development.
