Oleh Tolmachev, acting Director General of Ukrgasvydobuvannya, noted the positive impact of this technological transition, including a reduction in gas losses and operational costs linked to servicing wells that are now integrated into the unified monitoring system.
“Digitalization opens up new opportunities to enhance gas production efficiency, which is a strategic priority for us. With the ability to analyze key well performance online, we can promptly respond to any changes,” he said.
Tolmachev also added that Ukrgasvydobuvannya plans to implement remote monitoring of drilling rigs in the near future.
As reported by Ukrinform, in early November, Ukrgasvydobuvannya commissioned two wells with a flow of almost 500,000 cubic meters of gas per day.

Electricity is a secondary energy source: it is generated through the conversion of primary energy sources such as natural gas, coal, solar, hydropower, and wind. Electricity’s versatility is not cost-free: a substantial amount of energy is lost in its generation and the cost of storage is high, compared with fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. The economics of battery technology hold the key to expanded use of renewable sources to generate electricity.
