MOSCOW, Nov. 19 – Crimean-based Chernomorneftegaz (formerly Chornomornaftogaz) is planning to boost gas production to 7 million cubic meters per day in 2015 from the current 5.3 million cubic meters, the company's CEO, Sergei Beim, said at a meeting of the State Duma Energy Committee.

Gas production could therefore grow 32% next year. Beim said this increase will occur thanks to the commissioning of six or seven wells at the Odeske field.
