Gas reserves in European underground storage facilities (UGS) have exceeded 82.5%, but are lagging behind the record levels of 2020, when UGS facilities were filled to more than 84%. Gas is traded on the European exchange at a price of about $360 per 1,000 cubic meters. Gazprom supplies gas to Europe via Ukraine in the amount of 40.9 million cubic meters per day through the Sudzha gas metering station (GMS), Day.Az reports with reference to TASS.
“Gazprom” supplies Russian gas for transit through the territory of Ukraine in the volume confirmed by the Ukrainian side through the GIS “Sudzha” – 40.9 million cubic meters as of July 22. The application for the GIS “Sokhranovka” was rejected,” a representative of “Gazprom” told journalists. Earlier, the “Operator of the Gas Transmission System of Ukraine” (OGTSU) confirmed the application for pumping such a volume.
The volume of pumping on the eve was 42 million cubic meters.
The transit line through Ukraine remains the only route for Russian gas supplies to Western and Central Europe after the destruction of Nord Stream. Russian gas supplies have been going through Ukraine in reduced volumes since May 2022, when OGTSU announced the termination of transit to Europe through the Sokhranovka station due to force majeure: the company allegedly cannot exercise control over the Novopskov compressor station in the LPR. However, the Russian gas holding saw no reason to stop pumping in the previous mode.
