Gazprom: Greece will make the largest purchases of Russian gas in history

The gas exports from the Russian Gazprom to countries outside the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), ie beyond the countries that were once Republics of the Union, will be in 2021 the fourth largest in the history of the company.

This was announced by the head of the group Alexei Miller in a teleconference before the New Year, noting in particular that the largest increase in supplies took place among the largest consumers of natural gas of Gazprom. “Greece in particular, he said, based on the results of 2021, will make the largest purchases of Russian gas in history,” broadcasts the Russian state news agency Tass.

As it became known, Gazprom estimates that by the end of 2021 it will have exported 183 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe.

“We are fulfilling our contractual obligations fully, reliably and always on time. Obviously, this year we will have the fourth result in terms of gas supplies to the” far abroad “. And most importantly, I will emphasize once again, in such a difficult year “With such intense winter and summer peaks, we have fulfilled 100% and continue to fulfill our obligations to European companies,” Miller said.

“This indicates that our main customers, our main partners, are oriented towards the Russian gas market. They understand that our partnership is and will be of a long-term nature,” said the Gazprom CEO.

As of November, Gazprom’s gas exports to China via the Siberian Power pipeline exceeded its daily contractual obligations to its Chinese partners by more than a third, Miller said. “The very fact of the increase in demand is one thing, undoubtedly a pleasure for us. But the most important thing is that already in the current period we ensure exports higher than the contracts and the agreed volumes,” he added.
