Instead of importing expensive Qatari LNG and fracking the UK and European terra firma into oblivion, why not just buy affordable, abundant gas from Russia?
Yet another blow to US-EU economic sanctions on Russia…
MOSCOW – Tass News reported today that for the ninth day in a row, Gazprom has broken its record for the volume of daily supplies of Russian natural gas to non-CIS states.
On March 1st, Gazprom delivered a record 710.2 million cubic meters of gas to non-CIS countries.
The following day on Friday, the company is expecting to set a new record – with 718 million cubic meters of gas.
Company head Alexey Miller said that these latest results demonstrate the unique opportunity that Gazprom has in European energy markets as a ‘responsible supplier’.
He also added that Gazprom is reacting promptly to the sharply increased demand.
The latest record-breaking gas exports were registered during a cold snap as low temperatures depleted stocks of European gas storage facilities and reportedly led to an increase in gas prices on the spot market by 30 percent.
