Ukraine entered in January 2022 with natural gas reserves in its underground storage facilities (UGS) 13 billion 517.3 million cubic meters, to certify the state of the storage operator JSC “Ukrtransgaz”.

According to Interfax-Ukraine, from the beginning of October 2 of the heating season to December 31, 2021, stocks in underground storage facilities decreased by 27.7% (by 5 billion 182.8 million cubic meters).

In October, gas reserves in storage facilities decreased by 687.2 million cubic meters (average daily selection – 22.2 million cubic meters), in November – by 1 billion 984.1 million cubic meters. m (66.1 million cubic meters per day), in December – by 2 billion 511.3 million cubic meters. m (81 million cubic meters per day).

Gas extraction in December 2021 is 9% lower than in December 2020 (2.76 billion cubic meters).

The maximum daily selection of the population last month was 113.8 million cubic meters (December 23), the minimum – 59.9 million cubic meters. m (December 3). During the last week of December 25-31, the average daily selection from the population’s repositories was 96.8 million cubic meters. m.

In total, in the past 2021, the load of gas in the underground storage of Ukraine amounted to 3.589 billion cubic meters (in 2020 – 13.621 billion cubic meters), the selection – 13.621 billion cubic meters. m (in 2020 – 7.945 billion cubic meters).

Thus, in 2021, the total extraction of gas from storage exceeded its load by 10.032 billion cubic meters. m, while in 2020 the enrollment exceeded the selection by 5.676 billion cubic meters. m.

As reported, last heating season Ukraine used its “subways” in the mode of selection for more than six months – from October 20, 2020 to 2921, reducing their reserves from 28 billion 442.7 million cubic meters. m to 15 billion 290.7 million cubic meters. m.

To the system of 12 underground storages of Ukrtransgaz, 100% of which is NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine, with a total design capacity of 31 billion cubic meters. m, includes Bilche-Volytsko-Uherske UGS (17.05 billion cubic meters), Hungarian (1.9 billion cubic meters), Dashavske (2.15 billion cubic meters), Oparsko (1.92 billion cubic meters) ). ), Bohorodchany (2.3 billion cubic meters), Krasnopartisan (1.5 billion cubic meters), Solokhov (1.3 billion cubic meters), Olyshevsk (0.31 billion cubic meters), Proletarian (1 billion cubic meters). cube. m), Kegychivske (0.7 billion cubic meters), Krasnopopovske (0.42 billion cubic meters) and located in the temporarily occupied territory Vergunske (0.4 billion cubic meters).
