The Ukrainian Minister of Energy, Yuri Prodan, and Eni’s CEO, Paolo Scaroni, met in Kiev where they discussed the importance for the country of increasing the availability of natural gas.
The parties discussed Eni’s activities in Ukraine and agreed on the need to cooperate in order to increase the potential production of shale and conventional gas onshore, also through the award of new exploration areas, Eni said in a statement.
Upon request by the Minister, Eni has agreed to research new ways to supply gas to Ukraine, also through reverse flow systems, with the additional aim of making full use of available storage capacity.
