The production sharing agreements, signed on 8 November 2021, relate to petroleum products. They cover two separate areas of over 1,700 square kilometers in total in northeast Ukraine and represent an extensive investment program, including, in the first stage, the realization of seismic measurements and drilling of a significant number of exploration wells. Total investments are expected to reach dozens of millions of US dollars.<\/p>\n

Robert Bundil<\/strong>, BoD member at NAFTA a.s. (nominated by EPH), stated:<\/p>\n

The Baker McKenzie team members have acted not only as experienced energy transaction lawyers, but also, and more importantly, they have put their legal advice in a business context, which has helped us make the right commercial decisions. We are thankful to the team and Andrii Moskalyk in particular for the continuous support on these projects.<\/em><\/p>\n
