Naftogaz purchased almost another 100 million cubic meters of LNG from ORLEN

NAK Naftogaz of Ukraine has signed an agreement to supply almost 100 million cubic meters of liquefied natural gas (LNG) with the Polish oil concern ORLEN, the company announced on Tuesday.

“Cooperation with ORLEN gives Ukraine the opportunity to increase LNG import volumes and strengthen energy security. We continue to strengthen the diversification of supply sources to ensure the reliability and availability of gas for the country. This is especially relevant in light of Russia's constant attacks on our gas infrastructure,” said Roman Chumak, head of the Naftogaz Group.

According to the company, the fuel will come from a batch of American LNG. After the regasification process, the gas will be delivered to the Polish-Ukrainian border.

Gas supplies to Ukraine will begin in April and will be used to form a strategic reserve for the next heating season.

“Another contract for gas supply to Naftogaz confirms the competitiveness of ORLEN's offers. We continue to develop our commercial expertise and use our experience in the US market. This allows us to offer our partners attractive terms,” said Ireneusz Femfara, CEO and Chairman of the Management Board of ORLEN.

As reported, in March 2025, Naftogaz and ORLEN signed a memorandum on long-term partnership in the field of liquefied natural gas, under which a contract was concluded for the supply of the first 100 million cubic meters. The memorandum initiates long-term strategic cooperation between the companies and will allow Ukraine to create a more diversified gas supply system.

According to Dmitry Lippa, head of the Ukrainian Gas Transportation System Operator LLC, Ukraine will be able to import at least 4 billion cubic meters of gas from April to October 2025. He emphasized that liquefied natural gas will make up to half of the total import volume through Europe. Most of this gas may come from the United States.
