The resolution says that the pipelines were taken from OJSC Vinnytsiagaz, Volyngaz, Hadiachgaz, Dnipropetrovskgaz, Dniprogaz, Donetskgaz, Donetskoblgaz, Zhytomyrgaz, Zakarpatgaz, Zaporizhgaz, Ivano-Frankivskgaz, Kyivoblgaz, Kirovohradgaz, Korostyshevgaz, Kremenchukgaz, Kryvorizhgaz, Krymgaz, Lvivgaz, Luhanskgaz, Lybnygaz and Makiyivkagaz, Mariupolgaz, Melitopolgaz, Mykolaivgaz, Odesagaz, Poltavagaz, Rivnegaz, Sevastopolgaz, Sumygaz, Ternopilgaz, ternopilmiskgaz, Tismenitsagaz, Umangaz, Kharkivgaz, Khersongaz, Khmelnytskgaz, Chernivtsigaz, Cherkasygaz, Chernihivgaz, Shepetivkagaz, Kozovgaz and Kyiv-Svyatoshenegaz.

In addition, gas distribution pipelines that are on the balance sheets of Gaz Ukrainy, Ukrtransgaz, Ukrgazvydobuvannia and Chornomornaftogaz, are to be moved to a daughter company Naftogaz Ukrainy.
