KYIV, June 25 - Naftogaz Ukrayiny is revising plans for drilling to increase natural gas production, chairman of the board Yuriy Vitrenko has said.

"First of all, we will increase production, and in the near future. For this, we are now revising our plans for drilling and carrying out appropriate work on the existing well stock," he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

According to Vitrenko, the current global trend towards an increase in hydrocarbon prices also contributes to the implementation of works and operations that previously did not make economic sense due to low prices.
