Much to our astonishment, in the first half of the year oil and gas industry in Ukraine demonstrated the stable operation despite the difficult political and economic situation. Preliminary data suggests that total gas production in Ukraine for 6 months of 2014 increased by 150 MMCM (1.5%) up to 9.8 BCM. However, the growth was generated by private companies exclusively; its production volumes increased by 350 MMCM (33%) up to 1.43 BCM. More detailed information on the results of the 1st half a year will be presented in the next issue of the digest.
