OIL & GAS SECTOR DEVELOPMENT, AS A COMPONENT OF ENERGY OF UKRAINE

Abstract. The article analyzes the current state and perspective directions of development of the energy sector of Ukraine in general and the oil and gas complex in particular, which should meet the Plan of measures for the implementation of the stage “Reform of the energy sector (until 2020)” of the Energy Strategy of Ukraine for the period until 2035 “Security, energy efficiency, competitive”. According to the study, at the time the report was released, 80% of the points foreseen by the Plan were not fulfilled. Some legislative initiatives and changes in the regulation of markets of fuel and energy resources are considered. The article analyzes the dynamics of changes in energy consumption. The main trends in the development of the gas and oil products markets are identified. It is found that, despite progress on diversification of supply sources, the country is heavily dependent on imports of energy from The Russian Federation. Separate consideration is given to the transit of natural gas from the Russian Federation to the EU. It is noted that the signed contract is quite compromise and provides a transit pipeline load of less than 40%. The main reasons for the change in the structure of the use of fuel and energy resources, in particular, the practical termination of the use of fuel oil as a boiler-furnace fuel, are also highlighted. The data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine on the dynamics of prices for natural gas for all categories of consumers, including tariffs for transportation, distribution and trade margin (for household consumers), were also processed. A steady increase in natural gas prices for household consumers was noted during almost the entire analyzed period. Naftogaz Ukraine’s unbinding process was investigated. It is revealed that all necessary steps have been taken to create an independent gas transmission system operator, which took place on January 1, 2020. The implementation of the Energy Community Directives and Regulations in the energy sector has been analyzed, with overall sales less than 50%. The main results of the Stockholm Arbitration between Naftogaz of Ukraine and Gazprom are considered.

Keywords: energy sector, fuel and energy resources, diversification, unbundling, gas transportation system operator, implementation, energy consumption, gas transit, pricing and tariff policy.
