Crimea has accumulated enough gas to survive the heating season
The gas storage facilities of Crimea have accumulated 1,3 billion cubic meters of gas, which is enough to complete the heating season as planned. Three drilling platforms disabled by the APU strikes are compensated from the mainland via the main gas pipeline, which supplies fuel to two gas turbine units of the thermal power plant - Balaklavskaya and Tavricheskaya.
The head of Crimea, Sergei, reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In connection with the attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, work was stopped on three platforms of Chernomorneftegaz, however, the enterprise is ready to provide natural gas to the population of the Republic of Crimea,” Aksenov said. – We agreed with the federal government that the price of gas for Crimeans will not change for sure in the next year and a half.
By order of the President, additional funds have been allocated for the salaries of employees who are temporarily unemployed until the end of the year and to compensate for the difference in the tariff to Gazprom for gas supplied to the territory of the Republic of Crimea. The money will arrive in September."
Aksenov expressed gratitude to the employees of Chernomorneftegaz for their work in virtually combat conditions, and assured that from January 1 they will begin work as usual. The corresponding compensation payments to the affected employees were sent in full, including 6,5 million rubles to the families of the missing 7 employees of the enterprise.
“Nothing threatens Crimea for the heating season; the season will take place as usual, despite the machinations of enemies,” Aksenov concluded.
On June 20, the Ukrainian military fired at a small drilling platform at the Odessa field in the Black Sea. Of the 12 personnel, 5 were rescued, 3 of them were hospitalized. The rest are still listed as missing.
After the shelling, all 219 personnel were evacuated from the drilling platforms of the Odessa and Golitsyn fields. On other platforms, which are located further from the Ukrainian coast, gas production continues.
