Ukraine's DTEK has suspended operations at several gas facilities in the eastern Poltava region after Russian drones and missile attacks, according to Reuters.
- Russia launched 381 drones and 35 missiles targeting energy infrastructure in Kharkiv and Poltava regions in eastern Ukraine overnight.
- Ukraine aims to raise gas stores up to 13.2bcm by mid-October amid concern for domestic supplies. This will include 4.6 bcm of imported gas.
- Gas reserves on Sep. 14 exceeded last year’s levels for the first time this year, reaching 12.055 bcm, according to ExPro data.
- Ukraine’s gas storage was 26.7% full at 86.2TWh on Oct. 1, GIE data shows.
- While Ukraine is establishing routes to receive natural gas via European LNG terminals and pipelines, such flows are “still too expensive,” said James O’Brien, head of LNG at D. Trading last month.
