There are three oil and gas-bearing regions concentrated in Ukraine:

The majority of hydrocarbon reserves (oil, gas condensate, and natural gas) lie within the Eastern oil and gas region, which, accordingly, accounts for the largest volumes of production. 76.50% of natural gas reserves were located in the Eastern region, and 14.24% and 9.26% were located in the Western and Southern oil and gas regions, respectively. amounted to 84,796 thousand tons. 51.18% of the total oil reserves were concentrated in the Eastern oil and gas-bearing region, 35.77% and 13.05% in the Western and Southern regions, respectively. In terms of administrative regions, Ivano-Frankivsk region had the largest share of balance oil reserves - 19.51%, Poltava region - 18.68%, Sumy region - 17.24%.

In 2020, 216 oil fields were registered in Ukraine, most of which are very small fields. 20 deposits are considered small, Bugruvativske deposit in Sumy region is small, and only 1 deposit is medium - Glynsko-Rozbyshivske deposit in Poltava region.

As of the end of 2019, the total balance reserves of oil in 212 deposits of Ukraine amounted to 94,101 thousand tons. The largest volume of balance reserves of oil is located in the Eastern region, namely - 55.43%. In second place in terms of oil reserves is the Western oil and gas-bearing region with a share of 32.81% in the total reserves of Ukraine. The remaining 11.76% of oil reserves are concentrated in the Southern region. By administrative region, the largest share of balance oil reserves is concentrated in Poltava oblast - 24.54%, Ivano-Frankivsk oblast - 17.97%, Sumy oblast - 16.23%, Lviv oblast - 10.81%, Chernihiv oblast - 9.16%.

Among these 212 oil fields in Ukraine, the largest part, namely 189 fields, are very small. 20 fields are considered small, 2 fields are small, and only 1 field is medium.) 17 main oil fields with the largest reserves, in which 52.07% of all balance oil reserves in Ukraine are concentrated. According to the data of DNVP "Geoinform of Ukraine", as of January 1, 2019, the State balance of oil reserves included 205 fields with total reserves of 99,986 thousand tons.

In 2018, more than half of oil reserves, namely 53.65%, are concentrated in the Eastern oil and gas region. In terms of administrative regions, in the Eastern region, the largest reserves are located in Poltava (23.25%) and Sumy (15.81%) regions. In second place is the Western region, whose balance oil reserves are 35.28%. About half of all reserves of the Western region are located on the territory of the Ivano-Frankivsk region (18.77%). The southern region has the smallest oil reserves, which make up 11.07% of the total reserves in Ukraine.

By the degree of industrial development of oil fields, 138 fields are being developed (balance reserves 82,325 thousand tons or 82.34%); 4 deposits that are prepared for industrial development (balance reserves of 1,786 thousand tons or 1.79%); 25 deposits at the stage of exploration (balance reserves of 7,069 thousand tons or 7.07%); 27 deposits that are conserved (balance reserves 8,806 thousand tons or 8.81%).

Станом на 2020 рік, система магістральних нафтопроводів України, що перебуває у користуванні АТ «Укртранснафта», складалася з 19 нафтопроводів загальною довжиною 3 506,6 км (4 767,4 км в одну нитку) та діаметром до 1 220 мм. Потужність системи на вході становила 114 млн т/рік, а на виході – 56,3 млн т/рік. Загальна номінальна ємність резервуарних парків системи складала 1 083 тис. куб. м. Система нафтопроводів в Україні включає морський нафтовий термінал «Південний» та 28 нафтоперекачувальних станцій, частина з яких задіяні у безпосередньому транспортуванні нафти. Транспортування нафти в Україні здійснює виключно АТ «Укртранснафта», засновником і єдиним акціонером якого є АТ «НАК «Нафтогаз України».

Протягом 2020 року загальний обсяг транспортованої нафти в Україні збільшився на 1,94% і склав 15,8 млн. т. нафти. З них, обсяг транспортованої нафти до НПЗ збільшився на 8,33%, а транзит нафти нафтопроводами – зменшився на 0,076%. У 2020 році було присутнє зниження попиту на нафту через пандемію COVID-19, проте можливість експорту нафти з басейну Чорного моря до Білорусі допомогло забезпечити загальний об’єм транспортованої нафти на рівні навіть вище попереднього року. Крім того, у 2020 році АТ «Укртранснафта» надала послуги зі зберігання нафти обсягом 91,8 тис. т.

Станом на 2019 рік система магістральних нафтопроводів України складається з 19 нафтопроводів загальною довжиною 3 506,6 км (4 767,4 км в одну нитку) та діаметром до 1 220 мм. Потужність системи на вході становить 114 млн т/рік, а на виході – 56,3 млн т/рік. Загальна номінальна ємність резервуарних парків системи складає 1 083 тис. куб. м. Також, система нафтопроводів в Україні включає морський нафтовий термінал «Південний» та 28 нафтоперекачувальних станцій. На північно-західному кордоні система з’єднана з Білоруссю, на північно-східному з Росією. На західному - з Угорщиною та Словаччиною, де пролягає транзитний шлях нафти з Білорусі до країн ЄС. Транспортування нафти в Україні здійснює виключно АТ «Укртранснафта», засновником і єдиним акціонером якого є ПАТ «НАК «Нафтогаз України».

У звітному 2019 році АТ «Укртранснафта» збільшило обсяги загального транспортування нафти на 0,65% - з 15,4 млн т у 2018 році до 15,5 млн т у 2019 році. З них обсяг внутрішнього транспортування на НПЗ становив 2,4 млн т, що на 14,29% більше ніж у попередньому році, в той час як обсяг транзиту нафти впав на 1,50% у порівнянні з 2018 роком та склав 13,1 млн. т. Одним із факторів зниження обсягів транзиту нафти територією України були вимушені зупинки транзиту через погіршення якості сировини (підвищений вміст хлорорганічних сполук в нафті), що надходила через трубопровід «Дружба» з російського напрямку.

У 2018 році роль системи магістральних нафтопроводів України полягала в транспортуванні нафти від внутрішніх видобувних компаній до нафто-переробних заводів (НПЗ), транспортування імпортованої нафти до внутрішніх НПЗ, а також транзиту нафти до країн ЄС територією України. Реалізацію послуг з транспортування нафти в Україні здійснює виключно АТ «Укртранснафта», 100% статутного капіталу якого належить ПАТ «НАК «Нафтогаз України». Структурними підрозділами АТ «Укртранснафти» є філії «Магістральні нафтопроводи «Дружба» (транспортування нафти на Дрогобицький НПЗ та Нафтохімік Прикарпаття), «Придніпровські магістральні нафтопроводи» (транспортування нафти на Лисичанський НПЗ (зупинений станом на 2017 рік) та Кременчуцький НПЗ) і «Південні магістральні нафтопроводи» (Херсонський НПЗ), зупинений в 2005 році, та Одеський НПЗ, який у 2017 році рішенням Суворівського районного суду м. Одеси був конфіскований на користь держави).

Загалом, система магістральних нафтопроводів України складається з 19 нафтопроводів загальною довжиною 3 506,6 км (4 767,4 км в одну нитку) та діаметром до 1 220 мм. Серед основних технічних характеристик системи, потужність на вході становить 114 млн. т./рік, а на виході – 56,3 млн. т./рік. Загальна номінальна ємність резервуарних парків системи складає 1 083 тис. куб. м. Крім того система нафтопроводів включає морський нафтовий термінал «Південний» та 28 нафтоперекачувальних станцій. В 2018 році було відновлено роботу ділянки нафтопроводу Одеса-Кременчук та першої черги нафтопроводу Мозир-Броди.

В 2018 році обсяг загального транспортування нафти знизився на 3,75% у порівнянні з попереднім роком та становив 15,4 млн т., з них обсяг транзиту нафти склав 13,3 млн т, а обсяг транспортування нафти на НПЗ України – 2,1 млн т (більше на 0,2% порівняно з 2017 роком. У звітному періоді продовжувалась загальна тенденція падіння обсягів транзиту нафти. Так, обсяг транзиту нафти у 2018 році впав на 4,32%, з 13,9 млн. т. у 2017 році до 13,3 млн. т. у 2018 році.

In 2020, the tariffs for the transportation of oil through the trunk pipelines of JSC "Ukrtransnafta" for consumers of Ukraine, established by Resolution of the NCRECP dated October 11, 2019 No. 210897 for 6 trunk pipelines, were in effect. In 2020, this resolution provided for two stages of the transitional period of tariff changes: until October 31, 2020 and from November 1, 2020.

In 2019, in the period until November 1, 2019, transportation tariffs were in effect of oil and petroleum products of JSC "Ukrtransnafta" for consumers of Ukraine, established by the Resolution of the National Committee of the National Energy and Mineral Resources Commission of Ukraine dated December 23, 2016 No. 2362 for 18 main pipelines. However, taking into account that changes were made to the Procedure for the formation of tariffs for the transportation of oil through main pipelines with the aim of introducing a mechanism for the gradual revision of tariffs, starting from November 2019 until October 31, 2020 (the first year of the transition period), different tariffs were in effect for JSC "Ukrtransnafta" and the number of transportation routes was reduced from 18 to 6.

During 2018, the same tariffs for the transportation of oil through main pipelines of JSC "Ukrtransnafta" for 18 routes, as in the previous year, were in effect, as in the previous year, approved by the resolution of the NCRECP No. 2362. The tariff calculation mechanism also remained unchanged and was carried out on the basis of the Methodology approved in the resolution of the NCRECP No.993. main pipelines with the aim of introducing a mechanism of step-by-step recalculation of tariffs for consumers of Ukraine to an economically justified level. It is assumed that such changes will avoid a significant reduction in the volume of oil transportation due to a sharp increase in transportation tariffs. It will also provide transport customers with a three-year transition period that will allow them to gradually adjust to the rate increase to the target level. During this period, tariffs for the transportation of oil through main pipelines will be calculated according to a simplified procedure using the annual tariff growth factor.

During 2020, Ukraine exported oil to Belarus in the amount of 80,000 tons worth 24.35 million dollars. USA. However, in 2019, no oil exports were observed at all.

A small amount of oil was exported in 2019 with a volume of 0.1 thousand tons and a value of 0.05 million dollars. USA. Almost the entire volume of exports was made to Latvia (99.99%) and a small part of it (0.01%) to the United Arab Emirates.

The volume of oil imports compared to 2018 increased by 3.10% and amounted to 790.63 thousand tons. The majority of imports (76.67%) are provided by Azerbaijan (606.18 thousand tons worth $313.18 million), followed by the United States (173.83 thousand tons worth $93.82 million).

In 2018, Ukraine did not export oil. The volume of oil imports in 2018 amounted to 766.83 thousand tons of oil, which is 24.33% less than in 2017. Almost the entire volume of imports (94.24%) came from Azerbaijan (722.66 thousand tons worth 408.64 million US dollars). Other oil supplier countries were Iran (2.97% of imports), Algeria (2.21%), Hungary (0.35%), Russia (0.14%) and others.
