DTEK Naftogaz, one of the nation’s largest private gas producers, plans to nearly double natural gas production to 3 billion cubic meters by 2024, Igor Shchurov, the company’s general director, said Wednesday at the Ukrainian Energy Forum in Kyiv. Praising regulatory changes and cuts in royalties, Shchurov said the company plans to double the investment, to $110 million, and to increase drilling depths, possibly to below 7 km. Responsible for about one third of Ukraine’s privately produced gas, DTEK Naftogaz produced 1.65 billion cubic meters last year, the same amount as in 2017.
