1 5 th Gas FORUM Regulatory framework and gas infrastructure of Ukraine Natalia BOYTSUN Ministry fuel and energy of Ukraine Brdo Congress Centre Slovenia, Lublijana September 2010

2 In the world classification Ukraine is 1 place in volume of gas transit through its territory; 5 place in volume of import gas (after USA, Japan, Germany and Italy); 11 place In level gas consumption (after USA, Russia, Iran, Canada, England, Japan, Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia and China); 29 place in mining of natural gas.

3 Ukrainian gas transportation system 30 млрд. м 3 23 млрд. м 3

4 National joint stock company Naftogaz of Ukraine Operator of Ukrainian gas transportation system (GTS) Other activities: - natural gas and oil production - oil transit - natural gas supply within the country - sale of oil products

5 Gas transportation system of Ukraine Accounts for 80% of Russian natural gas export to EU Through-put capacity: input 290 bcm per year output 178 bcm per year, including ECE direction 142 bcm per year Number of underground natural gas storages 13 Active storage capacity 32 bcm (the second place in Europe)

6 Naftogaz of Ukraine: transit goals Fulfillment of transit obligations Ensuring Ukrainian GTS annual loading of 120 bcm Modernization aimed on capacity, reliability and efficiency enhancement of Ukrainian GTS

7 Ukrainian gas pipeline system (UGPS): perspectives Modernization and reconstruction 3 bln. USD. (Master-plan) «Nord Stream» 55 bcm per year Construction of additional capacities: compressor stations on Torzhok Dolyna gas pipeline Novopskov - Uzhgorod gas pipeline 5,5 bln. USD Possible increase in transit up to 103 bcm per year: - existing, based on actual transit volumes in bcm - due to construction of addition capacities + 53bcm «South Stream» 63 bcm per year NABUCCO 31 bcm per year

8 Naftogaz of Ukraine: transit objectives to develop cooperation with Gazprom and EU to adjust national legislation on national gas market operation to improve efficiency of natural gas transportation to ensure reliability of natural gas transit and supply

9 Naftogaz of Ukraine objectives specific to GTS operation Modernization and enlargement of underground natural gas storages Modernization of natural gas pipelines and compressor stations Construction of new natural gas pipelines and compressor stations Implementation of European standards for GTS operation Introduction of energy saving equipment and technologies

10 Gas transportation system of Ukraine: securing reliability Ongoing control over gas transportation system operation («SCADA» system) Diagnostic of linear part of natural gas pipelines («intellectual» pigs «Rosen»)

11 Transit Volumes bcm 11,3 19,1 15,3 16,8 16,7 14,9 14,7 3,1 2, ,3 123,6 105,3 124,4 106,3 121,6 112,4 129,2 120,4 137,1 121,4 136,3 113,8 128,5 112,1 115,2 116,9 119,6 92,8 95, To CIS countries To other countries in Europe Total

12 Projects of GTS capacity increase Construction of compressor stations on Torzhok - Dolyna gas pipeline allows for transit capacity increase up to 24 bcm per year Construction of Novopskov Uzhgorod gas pipeline with project capacity up to approximately 29 bcm per year Total expected increase in transit volumes up to 195 bcm per year + 24 billion cm + 29 billion cm

13 Implementation of energy saving technologies Energy Saving Programme for adopted by Naftogaz of Ukraine focuses on: replacement of outdated gas compressor units at GTS compressor stations utilization of off-energy resources (expansion turbine power plants, cogeneration and module energy generating units) introduction of technical, technological and organizational changes improvement of natural gas consumption control due to gas meters installation

14 Hydrocarbons metering Set up the International Eastern European Metrological Centre in Ukraine under TACIS INOGATE European Commission technical assistance programme Metrological centre will offer modern high-accuracy measuring units for hydrocarbon metering to Naftogaz of Ukraine, Ukrainian and foreign customers

15 Naftogaz Gazprom : cooperation perspectives On April 21, 2010 in Kharkov (Ukraine), Naftogaz of Ukraine and Gazprom signed amendments to the acting long-term contracts

16 Energy dialogue: conclusions Successful cooperation: Russia+ Ukraine + European Union Major principles of further cooperation : - fulfillment of contractual obligations - projects development based on feasibility and economic efficiency analyses - commitment to EC regulation requirements - adherence to national interests

17 Normative acts of Ukraine regulating activities of the natural gas industry Law of Ukraine On Oil and Gas : - oil and gas exploration and production Law of Ukraine On the Pipeline Transport : - functioning of Ukraine s gas transportation system Laws of Ukraine On Natural Monopolies and On Licensing Certain Types of Business Activity : - legal foundations of government regulation in the natural gas industry Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine On Natural Gas Supply to Consumers, resolutions of the National Electricity Regulatory Commission of Ukraine: - approve licensing terms and conditions of natural gas supply at unregulated and regulated tariffs and procedure of tariffs formation for natural gas transportation, storage, distribution, and supply.

18 Law of Ukraine On the Principles of the Ukrainian Natural Gas Market Functioning The purpose of this Law has been to ensure systematic approach to the establishment of conditions for stable functioning and further development of the natural gas market by taking into consideration state interests and interests of end users, and as well bringing the Ukrainian laws and regulations into conformity with chief provisions the European Union legislation regulating gas market relations. This Law: approves legal, economic, and organizational principles of the natural gas market functioning; regulates relations between market participants, which involve transportation, storage, distribution, supply, and use of natural gas; establishes competitive and equal conditions of doing business for all participants of the natural gas market; guarantees protection of rights of natural gas consumers and people engaged in the natural gas industry.
