In the Black Sea basin, deposit operator companies are divided into three groups: those that entered and are working, those that want to exit, and those that cannot exist, this observation was proved by the observer of the upstream segment, Naftorynok - Volodymyr Dolnyk at the Odesa Offshore Conference 2021 (OOC2021).

The Black Sea shelf is the main region due to which the main increase in Naftogaz resources is planned.

The Ukrainian Geological Survey (Derzhgeonadra) in accordance with the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers issued four more special permits to NJSC "Naftogaz of Ukraine" on the Delfin Block, located on the Black Sea shelf.

The Karpaty projects (within the framework of which a cooperation agreement was signed with OMV and PGNiG), Tight Gas (Yuzivska field), and the Black Sea shelf areas - "Delfin" and "Skifska" are strategic for the Naftogaz Group. In particular, 3D seismic on the "Delfin" will be conducted by the Norwegian PGS.

Maksym Vityk, director of strategic projects of the "Exploration and Production" division of the Naftogaz Group, said this in his report on strategic projects at the international conference on oil and gas production Carpathian Oil & Gas Conference 2021 (COGC2021).

JSC "Ukrgazvydobuvannya" (UGV) in 2017 appealed to the District Administrative Court of Kyiv with a claim against the Ukrainian Geology Survey (Derzhgeonadra).

The draft of the Subsoil Codex of Ukraine was developed to bring Ukraine's legislation into the field of subsoil use with the requirements of framework legislative acts, as well as eliminate the double administrative burden on business and abolish mechanisms and tools that lead to the possibility of corruption factors.

Naftogaz Exploration and Production Division offers the implementation of "Success Stories" in the development of the Black Sea shelf, by combining the capabilities of the state, national and international investors, following the example of Kazakhstan's experience.

To this end, the Cabinet of Ministers amended Resolution No. 615, Clause 8, which stipulates that only Naftogaz of Ukraine or its subsidiary company (100%) may apply for a special permit without holding an auction.

The Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, Roman Abramovskyi, said that in the near future, a decision will be made to transfer the Black Sea shelf to the state-owned company Naftogaz of Ukraine without tender. He said this in an interview with "Focus".
