In 2023, Ukrnafta commissioned 8 new wells in the West and East of Ukraine with a total production rate of 238 tons of oil per day.

Five were constructed with the company's own drilling rigs, while three were built with the assistance of contractors who won tenders in the state procurement system Prozorro.

Nine new wells were planned, and a tender for the last one was held at the end of 2023, but it took time to bring the equipment to the site. Drilling will be commenced in the coming days.

"In 2024, we plan to commence construction of 30 new wells in the East and West of the country. Some of these may serve as transitional wells due to the full utilization of our own rigs and the small capacity of the drilling market in Ukraine," said Sergii Koretskyi, CEO at UKRNAFTA. - "Possibly, we can accelerate the processes through cooperation with international and Ukrainian partners. I am grateful to the drillers, geologists, engineers and partners for enabling Ukraine to increase the resource production."
