Is the State Service of Geology and Subsoil preparing the ground for a raider seizure of the deposit in the interests of a company linked to Zlochevsky? — NGO «Stop Corruption»
A story is unfolding around the Stynavske deposit in the Lviv region that could cost the state part of its strategic oil and gas reserves. In a piece on its website, the NGO «Stop Corruption» describes a possible scheme to seize part of the Stynavske deposit in favor of Pari Naftogaz — a company the authors associate with former environment minister Mykola Zlochevsky.
According to the authors, those possibly involved in carrying out this scenario include Head of the State Service of Geology and Subsoil Serhiy Vlasenko and head of the State Commission on Mineral Resources Serhiy Payuk. The first step has already been taken, the NGO «Stop Corruption» claims: state company Ukrnafta was refused the opportunity to put the Stynavske deposit up for auction.
The next step could be a new protocol for Pari Naftogaz that would allow expanding extraction parameters above the mark 3605 meters.
Key detail: the Stynavske deposit has reserves at depths of 2800–3600 m, while the Semyhynivske deposit, for which Pari Naftogaz holds a special permit, is at 3605–4540 m.
In other words, these are different horizons. However, after changing the parameters, part of the Stynavske deposit’s reserves could end up outside the open auction.
This is what the authors of the NGO «Stop Corruption» piece call a possible raider seizure of state subsoil resources.
