Is the State Service of Geology and Subsoil preparing the ground for a raider takeover of a deposit in the interests of a company linked to Zlochevskyi? — NGO “Stop Corruption”
The state Stynavske field in the Lviv region could effectively be split without a full competitive auction. In a piece on its website, the NGO “Stop Corruption” writes about a possible raider scenario under which part of the field’s reserves could fall under the control of Pari Naftohaz — a company the article’s authors associate with former minister during Yanukovych’s era Mykola Zlochevskyi.
The scheme described in the article looks like this: first, the State Service of Geology and Subsoil denies the state-owned Ukrnafta the right to put the Stynavske field up for auction. Then Pari Naftohaz could obtain a new GKZ protocol that would allow expansion of extraction limits by depth. As a result, according to “Stop Corruption,” the company could gain access to part of the Stynavske field’s reserves that are not within its current geological horizon.
The authors of the article attribute the potential implementation of this scenario to head of the State Service of Geology and Subsoil Serhii Vlasenko and chairman of the GKZ Serhii Paiuk. If the described mechanism is carried out, this would no longer be merely a dispute over a license but a possible raider seizure of part of a state oil and gas asset.
Details — in the piece by the NGO “Stop Corruption.”
