Controlled export of part of Ukraine's gas could give producing companies additional funds to repair damaged facilities, drill new wells, and increase their own production.
It is noted that the Association, which includes both the state-owned Ukrgazvydobuvannia and private companies, presented calculations to the government on the possible resumption of gas exports. Among the main advantages of such a decision, Petrenko cited the ability to direct export proceeds to repair facilities damaged by Russian attacks, to new drilling, and to further increase gas production. Under the proposed mechanism, the right to sell gas abroad can be promptly revoked in the event of "risks to energy security," Petrenko clarifies. "Exports will also bring additional foreign currency receipts into the country, and the budget will receive more tax revenue from subsoil use rent," the publication quotes Artem Petrenko as saying.

What is known about opening exports of Ukrainian gas Reminder: the Cabinet introduced zero quotas on exports of domestically produced natural gas at the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. At the same time, a draft government resolution has recently appeared that provides for a controlled mechanism to open exports: the monthly limit should not exceed 15% of the actual production of the previous month.
Gas is proposed to be sold only through specialized exchange trading, and only approved companies will be able to export it after obtaining a license. Unused volumes will not be carried over to the next month.
