Gazprom's European gas exports rise in Feb. on Türkiye deliveries, Reuters
Russian energy giant Gazprom’s average daily pipeline gas exports to Europe rose 17% in the first half of February from January due to deliveries via Türkiye, according to Reuters calculations based on export data.
With no Russian gas flowing through either Yamal-Europe or Nord Stream, the only routes for natural gas supplies to Europe are through Ukraine and the Turkstream pipeline across the Black Sea. Gazprom's average daily deliveries to Europe for the first 15 days of February increased to 67.8 million cubic meters (mcm) against 58.1 mcm per day on average in January, according to data from the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG) and from Gazprom data on supplies via Ukraine. Gas pipeline exports to Europe in the first half of February totaled 1 billion cubic meters (bcm), according to Reuters calculations. Gazprom, which previously disclosed export data twice a month, has since the beginning of 2023 stopped publishing such data. Gazprom did not respond to a request for comment on the calculations. Gazprom, which holds the world's largest natural gas reserves, was formed out of the Soviet gas industry ministry as the Soviet Union ended.
