Аналіз індикаторів енергетичної безпеки нафтогазової галузі України

Abstract

This article presents the calculated values of energy-security indicators of the Ukrainian oil and gas industry for 2013–2018 in accordance with the Methodical Recommendations of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine (2013). Analysis of these indicators showed that, despite getting out from dependence in imported natural gas from Russian Federation, in 2017–2018, most of the indicators were unsatisfactory, in particular, “The part of own sources in the state’s gas balance”, “The part of own sources in the state’s crude oil balance”, “The level of import dependence on natural gas in its total supply”, “The part of losses during transportation and distribution of natural gas”, “The part of natural gas import from one country (company) in the general volume of its import”. Indicator “The part of import of petroleum products from one country (company) in the total volume of its import” was close to unsatisfactory. Indicator “The part of import of crude oil and gas condensate from one country (company) in the total volume of its import” was critical, and indicator “The ratio of investment in energy companies to GDP” has a dangerous value. The value of one indicator “The level of import dependence on crude oil in its total supply” was satisfactory, and two indicators: “The level of import dependence on natural gas in the total supply of primary energy”, although natural gas is not the predominant resource in the energy balance of Ukraine, and “Natural Gas Reserves” were optimal. Such indicator values show that the state of energy security in the oil and gas industry is in the large at an unsatisfactory level. It is shown that there is a need to supplement the Methodical Recommendations with indicators that would assess the protection of critical energy infrastructure, assurance of the stability of energy supply, diversity of sources and routes of natural gas, oil and petroleum products supply and transit, oil and petroleum products stocks, the level of integration of the energy markets of Ukraine and the EU, emissions of greenhouse gases and polluting substances from the energy sector.
