Reference
The development of the Lokachi gas field began in 1997. Today it is a complex of 20 gas wells and a comprehensive preparation (treatment) unit for extracted natural gas. The total estimated cost of constructing the facilities of the Lokachi gas field is UAH 239.060 million.
Since April 2003, electricity production began at the Lokachi field. The power plant, consisting of two Centaur-50 generator units from Solar Turbins, Inc. with a capacity of 5,500 kVA (4,400 kW) each, operates on unusable, corrosively aggressive "sour" gas released during the operation of the unit for treating natural gas extracted at the field, which prepares the extracted gas for sale to consumers. During 2003-2004, the unit produced 110 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, providing energy supply to the Lokachi district and almost three other districts of the Volyn region
