purification  of  light  crude  oil,  processing  petroleum  gas,
           production ofpropane-butane and motor fuel.

                  Oil and Gas Field Machinery
                  Ukraine  does  not  have  local  manufacturing  of  pumping
           equipment  capable  of  producing  below  6,000  feet,  even  though
           many of the fields on-shore are at depths of 10,000 to 15,000 feet.
           Local  production  of  drilling  machinery  is  limited.  Stimulation
           technologies such as hydraulic fracturing and acid stimulation are
           not available. On-shore and drilling equipment  is antiquated and
           has difficulty drilling  below 15,000  feet. Ukraine has substantial
           offshore  natural  gas  and  crude  oil  reserves,  but  does  not  have
           technology  to  drill  underwater  deeper  than  70-80  meters  (200
           feet).
                  Best  sales  prospects  foreign  companies  include:
           technologies  for  gas  production  and  storage,  for  gas-transport
           infrastructure,  in  particular  pipeline  construction  equipment,
           compressors and pumps for pipeline applications; gas transmission
           systems; gas pipeline  leak  control  systems; gas  pipe  fittings  and
           applications; welding machines, cranes, pipe-cleaning equipment,
           and line trend machines; monitoring and control systems for gas
           and  oil  pipelines;  advanced  and  highly  efficient  oil  and  gas
           exploration and drilling equipment and technologies, particularly
           pontoons supported on columns, hoisting cranes, drilling rigs, bits,
           electric motors, winch rollers, rotary tables, sheds, hoisting blocks,
           monkey boards, crown blocks, gin holes, shackles, cutting, roller
           and  diamond  bits,  casing  sleeves,  chemicals,  stimulation
           technologies,  modern  3-D  seismic,  drilling  pumps  (below  6,000
           feet),  drilling  technology  for  offshore  projects  deeper  than  200
           feet;   equipment    for   atmospheric-vacuum     oil   refining;
           modernization  and  increasing  of  hydro-cracking  and  catalytic
           cracking capacities; units for catalytic transformation of distillates;
           industrial  automation,  control  and  monitoring  systems  for
           refineries, gas processing and petrochemical plants; desulfurization
           and quality control facilities; safety systems; fuel dispensers, fuel
           storage tanks, fuel level monitoring and accounting systems.
