Polish energy company Orlen and Naftogaz of Ukraine have signed a new agreement to supply an additional 100 million cubic metres (mcm) of natural gas to Ukraine.
This is the third agreement signed by the two companies under a long-term collaboration framework and contributes to ongoing efforts to enhance regional energy security.
A second contract, also for approximately 100mcm, was signed in March this year and followed a similar supply arrangement.
Announced during the 14th edition of the Orlen Gas Meeting industry event, this latest agreement brings the total US-sourced gas supplied to Ukraine under the companies’ collaboration to 300mcm.
Orlen management board operations vice-president Robert Soszy艅ski said: 鈥淭he latest agreement with Naftogaz highlights Orlen鈥檚 growing importance as a natural gas supplier in the region.
鈥淥ur partnership contributes significantly to strengthening Ukraine鈥檚 energy security through Orlen’s diversified gas supply portfolio and the efficient utilisation of Polish transmission infrastructure.

By GlobalDataOrlen will import liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US and then regasify it at the 艢winouj艣cie terminal in Poland for transport to the Ukrainian border.
Naftogaz acting board chairman Roman Chumak said: 鈥淭his supply further strengthens the energy partnership between our companies and supports the delivery of a reliable resource to Ukrainian consumers.
鈥淎s we prepare for the next heating season, such contracts remain a key element of our strategy to diversify supply and bolster the country鈥檚 energy resilience.鈥�
In September, Orlen strengthened its LNG supply chain throughout central and eastern Europe by securing an exclusive five-year contract with KN Energies of Lithuania.
The deal provides Orlen with exclusive rights to utilise a small-scale LNG reloading station at the port of Klaip臈da, thereby bolstering its gas distribution network in north-eastern Poland and the Baltic area.
