Gazprom has set a new record of gas exports, Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller said.
"We embarked on the homestretch to a new absolute record of annual gas exports to non-CIS countries throughout the history of Gazprom and the national gas sector.," Interfax cited him as saying.
Considering the request for December 8, gas supplies by the company to this market are over 179.8 bln cubic meters year-to-date. The previous record of 179.3 bln cubic meters set as of 2016 year-end is already surpassed, he added.
Miller explained that European consumers opt for unconditional reliability of supplies and their feasibility. "Gazprom is currently implementing construction projects of new, modern and highly efficient gas pipelines to continue reliably meeting high demand for Russian gas in Europe," he added.
