The сompany has filed documentation with Companies House (UK) in order to change the name, which will be effective once Companies House has registered the change and issued a new certificate of incorporation on change of name.

We steadily increase production in all our fields and step by step expand our presence in the Ukrainian gas production. Meanwhile, we are sure that huge number of opportunities and our main achievements lie ahead. And we start a new era in the history of the company, while we continue to focus relentlessly on efficient and responsible production. We are confident in what and how we should do for the further production growth as well as the company’s development,” Sergii Glazunov, CEO of Regal Petroleum plc and CEO of Smart Energy Group, commented.

The State Budget of Ukraine Received 41% Less Taxes from Smart Holding in the First 9 Months of 2025

As of January–September 2025, the Group’s companies paid 543 million UAH in taxes, which is 41% less than in the same period last year (915 million UAH). This reduction occurred, among other reasons, due to increased government pressure and the blocking of gas production assets of the publicly listed British company Enwell Energy.
