Gazprom supplies gas for Europe through Ukraine in the volume of 41.7 mln cubic meters per day

MOSCOW, Oct.2, (ST)-Gazprom supplies gas for Europe through Ukraine in the volume of 41.7 mln cubic meters per day via the Sudzha gas pumping station, a Gazprom representative told reporters, adding that the request for pumping through Sokhranovka had been rejected by the Ukrainian side.

“Gazprom supplies Russian gas for transit through Ukrainian territory in the volume confirmed by the Ukrainian side via the Sudzha gas pumping station of 41.7 mln cubic meters as of October 2. The request for the Sokhranovka gas pumping station has been rejected,” he said.

On the previous day, the pumping volume equaled 41.7 mln cubic meters.

Earlier it was reported on the website of the Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine (GTSOU) that the transit of gas through Ukrainian territory might total around 41.7 mln cubic meters on October 2.

Yesterday, the transit of Russian gas via Austria was suspended due to the refusal of an Austrian operator to confirm nominations over changes in regulations, Gazprom said.

The Russian company is currently working on resolving the issue together with its customers in Italy.

“The transit of Russian gas on Gazprom Еxport contracts via Austrian territory has been suspended due to the refusal of the Austrian operator to confirm transport nominations. The reason is related to regulatory changes that were introduced in Austria in late September. Gazprom is working on resolving the problem jointly with Italian customers,” the statement reads, according to TASS.
