Yuzivska block

YUZIVSKA BLOCK

Naftogaz is the sole (100%) holder / beneficiary of Yuzivska PSA (valid until 2063).

Yuzivska is the largest onshore block in Ukraine (7 886 sq.km) and is located in well-known oil&gas region (DDB) with close proximity to largest producing gas fields in Eastern Europe.

Yuzivska has both conventional and unconventional (tight gas, Basin Central Gas) potential with lots of 2D and 3D data available for immediate E&A drilling.

According to PSA, Naftogaz has certain spend and work obligations over the next 5 years, which are anyways lower than its envisioned WP&B for this period.

Regions: Donetsk, Kharkiv
