Naftogaz Group’s storage operator, JSC Ukrtransgaz, has officially commenced the new gas injection season across its underground gas storage (UGS) facilities.
The 2024/2025 withdrawal season spanned 167 days and was marked by sustained Russian attacks, a decline in domestic production, and the halt of Russian gas transit. Despite these challenges, Ukraine’s UGS facilities remained stable and continue to operate without interruption.
'We have completed the most difficult gas withdrawal season since the start of the full-scale invasion, and we did so with confidence. This is the result of coordinated work by Ukrtransgaz and the entire Naftogaz Group. Now we move forward and prepare for the next winter,' said Roman Chumak, Acting CEO of Naftogaz Group.
While some UGS sites remain under scheduled maintenance, the majority have already resumed injection operations.
In preparation for the 2025/2026 heating season, Naftogaz is procuring emergency equipment, deepening cooperation with international partners, and expanding gas import routes.
'I am grateful to everyone who ensured the stable operation of Ukraine’s underground gas storage facilities, even in the most difficult moments. Thanks to your efforts, the country successfully made it through the winter without disruption,' Chumak added.
