The natural gas transmission system of Ukraine consists of 38,550 kilometres (23,950 mi) of pipelines, including 22,160 kilometres (13,770 mi) of trunk pipelines and 16,390 kilometres (10,180 mi) of branch pipelines ...

Ukraine’s main oil transportation system consists of 4 767 km of pipelines of up to 1 220 mm in diameter; 51 pump stations; and 11 tank farms with a total of 79 tanks, with a cumulative rated capacity of about 1 million cubic metres (mcm) ... Ukraine has seven refineries with a design capacity of 50.4 Mt/y, which is about four times larger than Ukraine’s oil product market. However, the vast majority of this capacity is not currently in use due to a combination of ageing infrastructure, poor economics and damage from warfare in eastern Ukraine.
