From 1997 to 2018, Koretskyi worked at Continuum Group (Lutsk), rising from an analyst to the CEO.

Since 2022: Director of PJSC "Ukrnafta"

edit

On November 9, 2022, the General Shareholders' Meeting appointed Koretskyi as the Director of PJSC "Ukrnafta" and PJSC "Ukrtatnafta."[10][11]

In an interview with NV Business, Koretskyi elaborated on the shareholders' priorities: supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces, ensuring energy security, and fulfilling social responsibilities.[12] In 2023, "Ukrnafta" increased oil production with condensate by 3%, reaching 1.4 million tons, and gas production by 6%, totaling 1.1 billion cubic meters.[13]

For the first time in the company's history, "Ukrnafta" prepared its financial plan according to the requirements of the Law of Ukraine "On the Management of State-Owned Assets." In 2023, "Ukrnafta" ranked first in Opendatabot's index of the best extractive enterprises, with a turnover of 95.17 billion UAH.[14] The company also reported a net profit of 23.6 billion UAH, confirmed by an independent audit conducted by Grant Thornton.[15]

In 2023, "Ukrnafta" fully repaid its tax debt of 6.9 billion UAH[16] and announced plans to invest $1 billion in gas generation.[17][18] Under Koretskyi's leadership, the company optimized costs, modernized production,[19] and launched an investment program aimed at increasing oil and gas output,[20] with 20 new wells planned for 2024.[21][22][23]

"Ukrnafta" also expanded its partnerships with international companies to replace outdated Soviet, Russian, and Belarusian equipment. The company began working with the American Petroleum Institute (API) for standardization and certification.[24] Additionally, "Ukrnafta" updated its equipment with modern technology, such as installing electric submersible pumps from Oil Dynamics[25] and Baker Hughes[26] and purchasing specialized buses[27] and telescopic loaders.[28]

In 2023, "Ukrnafta" saw significant growth in its non-fuel segment,[29] with a 53% increase in non-fuel transactions, reaching 4.6 million, and a 74% increase in revenue.[30] The company also introduced the sale of AdBlue fuel additives and launched inter-issuer programs with national and regional gas station networks.[31]

Koretskyi has prioritized social responsibility, with "Ukrnafta" providing 1.25 billion UAH in charitable donations in 2023.[32][33] The company also contributed 100 million UAH toward purchasing 50 armored personnel carriers (APCs)[34] for the "Steel Border" unit and funded several batches of pickups for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[35]

In early 2024, "Ukrnafta" made a significant donation of over 50 million UAH to purchase 1,000 FPV drones and other military equipment.[36][37][38] The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine also confirmed in May 2023 that "Ukrnafta" was meeting all its fuel supply obligations to the military.[39]

In 2024, on his birthday, Koretskyi personally donated 1 million UAH to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.[40]
