Found more than expected — where gas was discovered in Ukraine.


Ukraine has significant potential in the gas production industry despite the challenges posed by war and economic difficulties. Due to geological features, our country has large reserves of natural gas concentrated in several key regions. In 2025, significant attention is paid to explored fields and new promising areas.
In the geographic distribution of gas fields in Ukraine, the main reserves of natural gas are concentrated in the Eastern, Western, and Southern regions. According to the State Enterprise 'Geoinform Ukraine', the total balance reserves of gas were estimated at 778.2 billion cubic meters, the majority of which belong to the Eastern region.
Eastern Region: Heart of Gas Production
The East of Ukraine is the main center of gas production, with Kharkiv and Poltava regions having the largest fields. Notable fields such as Shebelynsk, Western-Khrestyshensky, Yablunivsk, Yefremivsk, and Melekhivsk are key for the company 'Ukrgasvydobuvannya'.
Western Region: Historical Cradle of Gas Production
Western Ukraine has a long history of gas production, with the most famous fields being Dashavske, Bilche-Volytske, and Oleske. However, the development of some fields is complicated due to challenges such as war and economic issues.
Southern Region: Potential of the Black Sea
The Black Sea region has great potential for gas production, especially on the Black Sea shelf. However, due to the occupation of Crimea and the war, the development of some fields is complicated, although they have significant gas reserves.
Prospects and Challenges in 2025
In 2024, gas production in Ukraine increased by 2.2% and amounted to 19.12 billion cubic meters. However, there are challenges such as depletion of fields, war, and environmental risks. Plans are in place to start gas production in the Sea of Azov, and the oil and gas potentials of the Black Sea are also being explored.
This news reflects the situation of gas production in Ukraine for 2025. It notes that the country has significant potential in this field and a substantial volume of natural resources. At the same Time, the regional distribution of gas fields is highlighted and the historical and contemporary challenges faced by the gas industry are indicated.Read also
