Ukraine’s state-owned oil and gas company, Naftogaz, is making a sales pitch to Canadian energy companies: Send your technology, expertise and investments to help the country fully develop its natural gas reserves, in turn bolstering global energy security.on Russian crude in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
“We’re actually going to start drilling this year; war or no war, we’re going to start. But in order for us to get into the full swing of things, it’s probably three years.” Alberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage met with Ambassador Kovaliv and Naftogaz executives on Wednesday morning at the Global Energy Show in Calgary, where the group outlined its sales pitch over breakfast.
“We need to do whatever we can to help [Ukraine]. It will help them rebuild after the war and it will help energy security globally,” she said.But its production has been dramatically impacted by government-implemented restrictions on diesel consumption, the destruction or damage of gas transmission infrastructure and logistical problems that cropped up when the company had to start sourcing equipment from Europe rather than Russia.
And while missile strikes recently destroyed Naftogaz’s main refinery, broader company operations have continued. Just three weeks ago, for example, the company commissioned a landfill biogas-cogeneration facility, and it’s expanding its solar and wind power assets. “There are political risks, there are war risks. But at the same time, the reward is just enormous,” he said.
Push russia out then
Funny how all the PM haters aren’t mentioning this at all. What did JustinTrudeau do upon the onset of war in Ukraine? He lead the G7 and sold Canadian oil&gas and wheat. Isn’t that we we all want a PM to do?
US/NATO shut down the Nordstream 2 from Russia so they and other western imperial powers can have full access to the EU market with natural gas here, all while continuing to commit genocide against Indigenous peoples. FOH. Down with US and KKKanadian imperialism.
Once again, for those in the back, Canada is not a real country. It is three resource extraction companies in a trenchcoat.
Ukraine wants you to give me $50
That is rich, will our Feds allow it?
We should obviously help asap
How sweet
Go away fake news
War first, drill second.
want what else they want
Now it's all coming together. Finally, I don't have to wonder why JustinTrudeau and the liberal_party rainbow death cult coalition are arming and training Nazis in the Ukraine. Nazis are bad unless they're Ukrainian ones, right?
What Ukraine wants is what Ukraine gets lol drill away good for climate change
No, sorry, we as a country aren't interested in resource developmen-- oh, Ukraine? Whatever you need bro
