According to experts' calculations, the consumption of petroleum gas, which could have been unauthorizedly taken, is 3859 cubic meters per day. Taking into account the price of gas for the population (7.96 UAH per 1 cubic meter), gas worth 30.7 thousand UAH was unauthorizedly withdrawn every day.
Ukrnafta informed law enforcement officers about the identified violation. Measures are being taken to identify the perpetrators.
As reported, on September 30, an oil pipeline ruptured in the Nadvirnyansky district of the Ivano-Frankivsk region near the village of Strymba.
