KIEV, Jan. 14 – The Ukrainian liquefied gas market’s balance in 2014 came to over 1 million tons, a rise of 12.7% in a year, the A-95 consulting group (Kiev) has reported.

The group said that the absence of data on the consumption and supply of propane-butane in occupied Crimea complicates the assessment of the market.

"Not taking into account the peninsula, consumption came to around 965,000 tons, and even with the pessimistic assessments the total market volume in the country with the previous borders exceeded 1 million tons," the group’s press service said, citing Artem Kuyun, an A-95 group expert.
