One of the main indicators of Ukraine’s energy security is the extraction of hydrocarbons, the continuous increase in reserves, and the discovery of new fields. However, no less important is the rational use of natural gas reserves in already existing fields. In Ukraine, there are several fields from which natural gas, after being processed, is directly supplied to consumers in certain settlements and does not enter underground storage facilities because the fields are not connected to Ukraine’s unified gas transportation system. This mode of operation directly depends on the seasonal fluctuations in natural gas consumption by the population, which in turn affects the technological regime of the existing wells and leads to the disposal of excess natural gas through flaring during the summer period or the search for expensive ways to utilize the extracted gas, such as laying additional pipelines and constructing compressor stations. Operating gas wells in a regulator mode during seasonal usage by injecting excess gas into the lower horizons of the field in the summer period and subsequently extracting it during the heating season allows for increased efficiency in the development of gas deposits under conditions of uneven gas consumption. This approach helps to avoid the disposal of excess natural gas, extends the development period of the gas field, and prolongs the operation of the wells
