system allocated to the transit 

business is almost equal to 

the value of pipelines used for 

existing transit routes (currently 

only Druzhba oil pipeline), which 

comprises about half of total 

value of oil transmission system as 

of 31.12.2017. 

If historical transit routes were 

preserved (such as Samara – 

Lysychansk – Tykhoretsk and 

Brody–Yuzhny in reverse mode), 

ROIC of oil transit would be much 

lower. 

If ROIC for the whole business 

group of oil transit and 

transmission is calculated for 

2017, it would be 6%, which is less 

than the appraiser’s cost of capital 

(17.4%).

   The volume of crude oil transportation

Key problems:

1. Russia and Kazakhstan 

redirected oil export routes 

to Russian port terminals

Russia is working to remove 

transit intermediaries as part 

of the Kremlin’s geo-economic 

strategy. This is precisely why 

Ukraine has been facing dramatic 

reductions in oil transit during 

the past few years.

With the aim of bypassing 

transit countries, Russia 

completed construction of 

the Baltic Pipeline System 

(BTS-1 and BTS-2) with a 

total transfer capacity of 80 

million tons of oil per year. 

As a result, in 2016 and 2017, 

about 80% of Russia’s crude 

oil and condensate exports 

were seaborne. However, 

regardless of the ultimate mode 

of transport, most of Russia’s 

crude oil exports must traverse 

Transneft’s pipeline system (RF 

oil pipeline operator), either 

as a direct route to reach 

bordering country or to reach 

Russian ports. Despite the 

growing share of oil supplies 

from the Russian Federation 

to the European market, the 

transit flow via the Ukrainian 

string of Druzhba oil pipeline is 

dropping.

As a result of the low 

diversification of transit flows, 

the aggressive policies of 

neighboring countries and the 

slow response to changes in the 

market situation, Ukraine has lost 

more than 30 million tons of oil 

transit flow per year since 2001.

2. Lack of diversification 

Ukrainian transit oil flow 

comprises only oil from Russian 

producers. Transit volume 

   Russia and Kazakhstan redirected oil export routes to Russian 

ports’ terminals since 2001

through Ukraine in 2017 
amounted to 14 million tons of 
oil, which actually supplies three 
countries – Czech Republic, 
Hungary and Slovakia.

Ukrainian transit oil flow 
comprises only oil from Russian 
producers. Transit volume 
through Ukraine in 2017 
amounted to 14 million tons of 
oil, which actually supplies three 
countries – Czech Republic, 
Hungary and Slovakia.

The possible extension of 
diversification in sources of oil 
by Czech Republic, Hungary and 
Slovakia carries a high risk for 
future activities. Over the past 
five years, Hungary, of the three 
countries mentioned above, 
has diversified its oil supply to 
the greatest extent. Slovakia 
was in the worst position with 
respect to the diversification of 
transmission routes over the last 
decade, but in 2015 Hungary 
and Slovakia completed the 
reconstruction of the Adria oil 
pipeline and this means the 

creation of an alternative route 
for the transportation of oil in 
sufficient quantity to Slovakia 
bypassing Ukraine.

3. Low utilization  

of pipeline system

From 4 767 km of total pipeline 
length, more than 20% are on 
“safe hold” (pipelines filled with 
special liquid), and a 680 km 
section of the Odessa-Brody oil 
pipeline is filled with Azeri Light 
oil but does not pump oil.

Thus we see a low level of 
capacity utilization caused by 
the presence of a large number 
of unused pipelines in the 
eastern region of the country, 
which previously transported oil 
to the seaports of Ukraine from 
Russia and Kazakhstan and to 
Ukrainian refineries. 

Domestic transportation after 
years of lingering decline began 
to recover in 2017. In March 
2017, Ukrtransnafta renewed the 

transportation of Azeri crude oil 
through the Odesa-Kremenchuk 
oil pipeline. As a result, during 
the year, 850 thousand tons of 
Azeri Light oil was transported 
to the Kremenchuk oil refinery. 
Most domestic refineries are 
currently not functioning and 
at present the domestic market 
is insufficiently saturated with 
home-processed oil products, 
which in turn caused an 
increased import share of oil 
products and a corresponding 
decrease in oil processing 
and transportation of oil by 
pipelines.

There are significant risks 
that the utilization gap of 
this business (if compared 
with its peers) is unlikely 
to be covered. The risk of 
further reduction of oil transit 
through Ukraine may also be 
realized because of active EU 
operator policies to diversify 
and substitute Russian oil 
for oil from the Middle East 
within both all-European and 
business strategies.

1.  Positive preconditions for active cooperation of Ukraine with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe 

in light oil grades delivery from the Black Sea Basin to the markets of Central and Eastern Europe through 

the Ukrainian territory. The key objectives in this regard are “deblocking" of the Slovak section of Druzhba 

pipeline for supply of various oil grades and construction of Brody – Adamova Zastava oil pipeline.

2.  To promote the project “Bratislava-Schwechat connection” with a capacity of 3.25 - 5 million t/year. The 

implementation of the project will allow the Austrian refinery to supply Russian oil or light oil when it 

is transported by the Odessa-Brody-Druzba route, increasing the transit of oil through the territory of 

Ukraine.

3.  Capacity utilization could be increased through realization of synergies between oil transportation and 

untapped local oil upstream and refinery potential.

4.  Currently Ukrtransnafta sets OPEX optimization as the main improvement lever:

•  increasing labor intensity;

•  decreasing maintenance costs while ensuring reliable and safe operation of transmission facilities;

•  improving energy efficiency.
Present tariffs for domestic oil transportation do not cover the operating costs of this business.  

Further adoption of cost-reflective tariffs will increase profitability of this segment.

5.  Creation of minimum stocks of crude oil and/or petroleum products pursuant to Council Directive 

2009/119/EU is one of the contemporary national security objectives. Using unique storage and 

transportation infrastructure for diversification of the business model through participating in the project 

to establish a system of minimum crude oil stocks and petroleum product is one of the key prospects in 

the domestic market. After a minimum stocks model (minimum crude oil and petroleum product stocks) 

has been determined, Ukrtransnafta is ready to start creating new additional production infrastructure. 

6.  Expanding the range of services utilizing capacities of the Pivdennyi oil terminal for transshipment of oil 

and petroleum products using rail transport. The oil terminal may accept and load crude carriers up to 

14.5 million t/year and may accommodate crude carriers with a deadweight of 35 000-150 000 tons. 

7.  Further solution of issues related to Illegal tie-in in oil trunk pipelines. During 2017, the company's 

security service recorded 27 attempts at so-called tie-ins causing losses to the company.

8.  Implementation of new services:

•  oil blending for European consumers at the sea oil terminal Pivdenny and LVDS Brody - currently 

consumers in the Central and Eastern Europe are showing interest;

•  provision of services for oil and petroleum products quality assessment:

- accreditation of Naftogaz group laboratories;

- purchase of equipment for calibrating tank battery.

9.  In order to streamline the company’s management, accounting, tax and real time accounting and make 

it more transparent, the company plans to shift to the unified SAP-based management system in Q4 

last of 2018. The key modules of this system will be repairs management and investment activities and 

construction management, including thorough overhaul, and a financial module.

10. A new MES/SCADA technology management system is also expected to be launched on the basis of 

the Oil Pipelines Druzhba. The new platform would allow timely decisions regarding the technological 

processes of oil pipelines, reduce the human risk factor, and ensure maximum automation of production 

processes.

OIL TRANSIT

The volume of oil transit 

through the territory of 

Ukraine in 2017 compared to 

2016 increased by 0.8% due 

to an increase in the transit 

volume to the Czech Republic 

(in 2016 one of the local 

refineries was stopped for 

repairs).

The results of this business 

remained in 2017 about at the 

level of 2016. The devaluation 

of the hryvnia to the euro 

improved the result of the 

business by UAH 0.02 billion 

(since the tariff is formed in 

euro), in addition, an increase in 

transit volumes had a positive 

impact on the result of UAH 0.03 

billion.

OIL DOMESTIC TRANSMISSION

The capacity of the Ukrainian 

trunk oil pipelines system is 

currently largely unused. This 

mainly concerns oil pipelines 

designed to supply oil for the 

needs of domestic refineries. 

The operations of domestic 

oil refineries is a key factor in 

ensuring the proper level of 

loading of a large part of the 

group's trunk oil pipelines 

which was built during in the 

Soviet era with the purpose to 

provide oil supplies to Odesa, 

Kremenchuk, Lysychansk and 

Kherson oil refineries. Due to 

suspension of their operations 

and the reduction of 

processing at the Kremenchuk 

oil refinery, the loading of the 

trunk oil pipelines system has 

decreased dramatically.

The volume of oil 

transportation to Ukrainian 

refineries showed positive 

dynamics in 2017 and 

exceeded the indicator for 

2016 by 64.1%. The increase in 

oil transportation to Ukrainian 

refineries is caused by the 

renewal of oil transportation 

from Odesa to Kremenchuk 

oil refinery in March 2017. At 

the end of 2016, Ukrtransnafta 

and Kremenchuk oil refinery 

reached an agreement and 

concluded a contract for 

the rehabilitation of Odesa 

- Kremenchuk oil refinery 

route in 2017 with an annual 

oil transportation volume of 

1.3 million tons. In Q1 2017, 

the necessary technical 

preparatory works were 

completed and 850 thousand 

tons of oil was transported 

during the 12 months of 2017.

to the Kremenchuk refinery and, 

accordingly, the rehabilitation 

of the Odessa-Kremenchuk oil

The segment's results are formed at the expense of:

•  Production of liquid hydrocarbons, their 

processing and sale of petroleum products 

received. Specifically, Ukrgazvydobuvannya 

supplies almost all its own production volumes 

to the Shebelynka refinery for further processing 

and sale of the petroleum products.

•  Purchase and sale of purchased petroleum 

products through Ukrnafta's petrol stations 

network.

Low share of retail sales in the 

total sales of Ukrgazvydobuvannya

Historically Ukrgazvydobuvannya has been viewed 

by the market as a producer of low quality petroleum 

products, and, respectively, the development of its 

own network of petrol stations for the purpose of 

ensuring the sale of its own products was considered 

as a low perspective project by market participants. At 

the same time, the modernization of the Shebelynka 

refinery allowed for the start of production of more 

profitable and high quality petrol and diesel fuel in the 

Euro 5 ecological class and utilized the previously idle 

refinery's potential.

In view of undeveloped retail sales through the petrol 

stations network, Ukrgazvydobuvannya is forced to 

build and focus its strategy and sales policy almost 

exclusively on the wholesale market segment. The 

volume of retail sales in Ukrgazvydobuvannya's engine 

oils production structure is nearly 4%.

first of all, by the absence of a 

clear petrol stations network 

development plan over a long 

period of time and the absence 

of the marketing policy. 

During 2014-2015, due to the 

devaluation of the hryvnia 

currency and drop in purchasing 

capacity, petrol and diesel fuel 

consumption in Ukraine was 

decreasing. Besides, during 

2016-2017 the tendency for 

the reduction of consumption 

of petrol and its replacement 

by liquid hydrocarbon gas 

continued. At the same time, the 

low pace of installing additional 

LPG modules at petrol stations 

should be mentioned. The total 

annual coefficient of decrease in 

the network's sales volumes is 

about 7%. 

For the purpose of business 

diversification and risks 

mitigation, the national petrol 

station networks are more actively 

developing retail sales and open 

sales points and restaurants 

within the petrol stations.

Taking into account the above, 

there seems to be a significant 

potential for the development 

of Ukrnafta's petrol stations 

network, should it opt for 

the development and design 

of a detailed plan for petrol 

station modernization and 

rebranding, which should take 

into account the peculiarities of 

placement of each item. In case 

of successful implementation 

of the strategy for petroleum 

products retail sales, an increase 

in the sales volumes of the main 

product - fuel, should also be 

expected.

The reason for the negative 

ROIC

73

 for the Sale of Petroleum 

Products segment, which in 

2016 was -36.7%, was the accrual 

of the accounts receivable 

impairment reserve in the 

amount of UAH 8 billion and one 

loss-making transaction on the 

sale of Ukrnafta products. In the 

absence of these one-time items 

the ROIC in 2016 would have 

been 5.4%. 

In 2017, the ROIC increased 

almost twice (to 12.7%). This 

improvement of the operating 

result was due to the increase 

of the average sales prices. 

However, the operating result 

of Ukrnafta's assets still remains 

much lower in comparison 

with Ukrainian competitors, 

specifically productivity per one 

petrol station and profitability 

of sales. At the same time, 

Ukrgazvydobuvannya mainly 

73 

ROIC is calculated as NOPLAT divided by 
invested capital, which was determined as a 
sum of invested capital in fixed assets and 
net working capital as of the end of the year. 
Invested capital in gas upstream assets are 
estimated on the basis of preliminary estimate 
of monetary value of 2P gas reserves audited 
and appraised by independent O&G consulting 
firm, and processing assets and petrol stations 
were estimated at replacement value which is 
lower than physical impairment.

sells its petroleum products in 

the wholesale market, losing 

the retail margin. As a result, the 

ROIC comprised 12.7%, which is 

lower than the cost of capital

74

which comprises 19.7%

General dependence 

of the domestic 

market on the import 

of petroleum products

Irrespective of the success 

of the Ukrainian refineries 

in terms of improvement of 

the quality characteristics of 

their petroleum products, 

and specifically, full transfer 

to the production of Euro-5 

class of petroleum products, 

the domestic market remains 

dependent on imports of 

finished petroleum products. 

Due to the protectionist policy 

of Customs Union countries 

regarding their refineries and 

the logistical closeness of the 

Belarusian refineries, the latter 

manage to preserve their large 

share in the Ukrainian market 

(about 50% in the supplies of 

the motor car petrol, 70% - 

diesel fuel and liquid gas). Thus, 

the absence of investments 

in the technical re-equipment 

of Ukrainian refineries, 

insufficient transparency in 

the management of such 

enterprises and, respectively, 

inadequate resources provision 

for the Ukrainian refineries, 

resulting in the total transition 

of the Ukrainian petrol stations 

network to the import of 

petroleum products and 

promotion of petroleum 

products produced by foreign 

refineries.

case of realization of synergies 

between the development of 

domestic liquid hydrocarbons 

production, their processing 

and sale, a significant decrease 

in the share of imported

PETROLEUM PRODUCTS SALES

Shebelynka gas condensate 

and oil refinery, a branch of 

Ukrgazvydobuvannya is the 

only company of Naftogaz 

group engaged in producing 

petroleum products. It is one 

of the two currently operating 

oil refineries in Ukraine. The 

total processing volume of the 

refinery, including from tolling 

raw materials, in 2017 amounted 

to more than 510 thousand tons. 

The refinery produced almost 

424 thousand tons of light 

petroleum products, including 

134 thousand tons of gasoline 

and 97 thousand tons of diesel 

fuel.

In 2017, Ukrgazvydobuvannya's 

Bazylivshchyna, Yablunivka, 

Tymofiivka and Yuliivka gas 

and gas condensate refining 

departments manufactured 

158 thousand t of LPG, which 

is 6% less compared with 

2016. Ukrnafta's Hnidyntsi, 

Kachanivka and Dolyna 

refineries processed 116 

thousand tons of petroleum gas 

in 2017, which is 9% less against 

2016.

The decrease in LPG output in 

2017 compared with 2016 was 

caused by lower production of 

petroleum gas by the group due 

to the exhaustion of most oil 

and gas fields.

Volumes of petroleum products 

and liquefied natural gas 

sales include the sales by 

Ukrgazvydobuvannya of its own 

processed products, and the sales 

of products through Ukrnafta's 

gas filling stations.

A 6% decrease in Ukrnafta's sales 

in 2017 compared with 2016 

impaired total sales of petroleum 

products. The volume of liquefied 

gas sales decreased by 5% in 

2017 due to a decrease in the 

volume of oil gas production for 

the production of liquefied gas 

as a result of natural depletion of 

wells and the forced suspension 

of production during the period 

when Ukrnafta's licenses were 

renewed.

The volume of compressed gas 

sales decreased in 2017 compared 

to 2016 by 20%. This tendency 

persists in recent years against 

the overall shrinkage of the 

compressed natural gas market.

The decisive factor in reducing 

the volume of compressed 

natural gas sales in Ukraine 

is a significant increase in 

prices of natural gas in recent 

years, which in turn reduces 

the number of consumers of 

compressed natural gas and the 

number of compressed natural 

gas vehicles.

ANALYSIS 
OF OTHER ACTIVITIES

INVESTMENT PROJECTS IN ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT 

Naftogaz group is implementing 

two hydrocarbons mining 

projects in Egypt.

Development  

of Alam  

El Shawish  

East territory

The territory has been 

developing pursuant to 

the Concession Agreement 

between Naftogaz, the Arab 

Republic of Egypt (ARE) 

and the Egyptian General 

Petroleum Corporation 

(EGPC) dated 2006. In 

2017, extraction from the 

concession areas amounted 

to almost 286 thousand 

tons of crude oil and gas 

condensate and 145 mcm of 

natural and petroleum gas.  

A pre-oil refinery plant was 

also put into operation.

The volume of natural 

gas extraction under the 

Concession Agreement in 

Egypt decreased by 17.7%, 

and oil and gas condensate by 

8.1% in 2017, due to natural 

depletion of gas condensate 

reserves and delays in 

gas compression plant 

construction.

Oil exploration in South 

Wadi El Mahareeth and 

Wadi El Mahareeth areas

These areas are developed 

under the Concession 

Agreement between the 

SE Zakordonnaftogaz, the Arab 

Republic of Egypt and the South 

Valley Egyptian Petroleum 

Holding Company dated 2012. 

The project is at the stage of 

exploration works. In 2017, 

Zakordonnaftogaz completed 

the interpretation of a 2D seismic 

survey data, the development 

of a geological and geophysical 

model of the concession areas, 

and identified the location 

for drilling four wells to be 

constructed in 2018.

GAS DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

These types of activities is 

represented by Kirovohradgaz, 

which operates gas distribution 

pipelines in the territory 

of the Kirovograd region. 

Kirovohradgaz is the only 

licensed distributor of natural 

gas in the region.

The volume of natural gas 

transmission by distribution 

gas pipelines has decreased 

by 41 mcm or -9.3% compared 

to 2016. The trend towards 

reducing the volume of natural 

gas transportation through 

distribution pipelines is caused by 

a decrease in gas consumption.

are related to Gas transit, 

representing about 30% of 

assets of all businesses of the 

group (38% in 2016). According 

to fixed assets revaluation, 

the amount of assets in 

this business decreased by 

UAH 67 billion in 2017.

75 

Notes 4 to the consolidated financial 
statements

About 30% of the assets 

of the group relate to gas 

production, imports and 

supply to other customers 

under PSO (26% in 2016). In 

2017, the amount of assets in 

this business increased by UAH 

22 billion compared to 2016. 

The increase in the amount of 

assets is basically due to the 

increase in the cost of natural 

gas reserves, caused by an 

increase in prices, as well as 

the results of a fixed assets 

revaluation carried out in 2017.

A significant share in the assets 

of the Group is involved in 

gas storage - about 24% (23% 

in 2016). The reduction in 

the amount of assets in this 

business by UAH 3.3 billion in 

2017 is a result of revaluation 

of fixed assets.
