Gazprom reported on record gas reserves for winter

Gazprom has created a record gas reserve in Russian underground storage facilities for the coming winter - 73.296 billion cubic meters, the company's press service reported.

on october 8, the holding 100% fulfilled the established indicator for filling underground storage facilities for the winter season.

“This is an absolute historical record for the domestic gas industry,” the report said.

The company explained that sufficient gas reserves in underground storages help to provide consumers during peak winter demand. With a sharp cooling, the holding can quickly increase the supply of gas.

In September, the head of “Gazprom” Alexey Miller, assessing gas reserves in Europe for the heating season, said that “winter will come”.

At the end of August, the European Commission reported that the block’s gas storage facilities were 62% full and admitted that the pace was slow. However, they assured that “in fact everything is going well” because the target level is only 80%. Gazprom at the beginning of last month reported that the situation with gas injection into European UGS facilities is deteriorating, the volume of reserves has reached an anti-record level.
