On August 19, 2021, Enwell Energy, a part of Smart Energy, spudded well #4 at Svystunkivsko-Chervonolutske field (Poltava region).

This will be the first drilled well at the field for 25 years. Its target depth is 5,565 m. The company is planning to complete drilling and provide testing in Q3, 2022.

“Thus, besides gas production increase, we are striving for restoration of hydrocarbons production at Svystunkivsko-Chervonolutske field that has not been provided here since 2007”, commented Sergii Glazunov, CEO of Smart Energy Group.

By its geological structure Svystunkivsko-Chervonolutske field is similar to Svyrydivske and Mekhedivsko-Golotovshchinske fields that are 15 km to the east and are operated by another company of the Group. Well #4 is primarily an appraisal well, targeting production from the Visean formation.

Earlier, Smart Energy received Svystunkivsko-Chervonolutske licence via acquisition of Arkona Gas-Energy by its British asset in March, 2020. Last year this company prepared site for drilling the first well at the field, while this year it is doing additional geophysical research, working on arranging all permissions, developing and preparing to construction of production infrastructure at the field.

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.

Ukraine imports gas, while blocking its own fields
Ukraine has gas, but cannot produce it. Not because of the war. Not because of missiles. Due to the decisions of state bodies.

We need to distinguish sanctions against individuals and the work of enterprises operating in Ukraine, paying taxes and supporting energy independence
Today, the Ukrainian energy sector lives between two realities: On the one hand, there is an urgent need for its own gas, on the other hand, there are legal norms that actually stop those who can provide this resource.
