Miller: Gazprom will reduce exports to non-CIS countries to 100.9 bcm in 2022

MOSCOW, December 28 – RIA Novosti. The head of the company, Alexei Miller, said that Gazprom will supply 243.1 billion cubic meters of gas to Russian consumers in 2022, and 100.9 billion cubic meters to countries outside the CIS.

Speaking at a New Year’s conference call, Miller said, “In 2022… 243.1 billion cubic meters of gas will be supplied to our Russian consumers from Gazprom’s gas transmission system. And 100.9 billion cubic meters of gas will be supplied to countries outside the CIS.” .

At the end of last year, the company exported 185.1 billion cubic meters to non-CIS countries, achieving the fourth result in history. Thus, the company’s exports will decrease by 45.5 percent.

In the spring, Gazprom announced that supplies to Bulgargaz in Bulgaria, PGNiG in Poland, Gasum in Finland, GasTerra in the Netherlands, as well as Shell Energy Europe in Germany and Orsted in Denmark have been reduced or stopped altogether. Comply with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation on payment in rubles or for other technical reasons.

Then, at the beginning of summer, deliveries along the main route Nord Stream were significantly reduced, since German Siemens was unable to return the required unit to Russia after repair due to Canadian sanctions. Full operation of gas pipelines became impossible due to difficulties in maintenance, and in the autumn supply along the route completely stopped.

Pumping along the stabilizing Belarusian route “Yamal-Europe” was also stopped due to the counter-sanctions of Russia against the operator of the Polish division, and significantly reduced along the Ukrainian route, since Kiev blocked part of the crossing. As a result, Russian pipeline gas is now supplied to Europe via one of the two entry points to Ukraine’s gas transport system and Turkey, where it comes via Turkish Stream and Blue Stream.

At the same time, exports to China are increasing, according to Power of Siberia. “Gazprom” emphasizes that deliveries regularly go beyond daily contractual obligations. These volumes will grow as new routes are built.
