Main players:

• PJSC "NJSC" Naftogaz of Ukraine "- 87% of the market delivery,

• private mining companies - 8% of the market delivery,

• Collaboration between the private mining companies PJSC "Ukrgasdobycha" and OJSC "Ukrnafta" - 5%.

• Problems of the gas market: almost 100% monopoly of state-owned companies, which are part of PJSC "NJSC" Naftogaz of Ukraine "in the markets of production and delivery, is the result of, the price and tariff regulation by the State. The Preference of privacy, opacity and baseless of state companies to the State, which puts all the other players into the unequal conditions with monopolists. The lack of market pricing mechanism and the absence of implements in the market. As a result of this is an excessive imbalance and distortion of the market in the direction of the monopolists. Restrictions for market players and consumers freedom of choice of supplier.
