Russian energy giant Gazprom’s GAZP.MM average daily natural gas supplies to Europe in October edged up by 2.5% a year earlier and held broadly steady from September, Reuters calculations showed on Friday.
Gazprom’s average daily pipeline exports increased to 90.6 million cubic metres (mcm), according to calculations based on data from European gas transmission group Entsog and Gazprom’s daily reports on gas transit via Ukraine.
That was up from 90.2 mcm in September and 88.4 mcm in October 2023.
Gazprom’s total natural gas supplies to the European Union stood at about 2.81 billion cubic metres (bcm) in October, the data showed. Of that, 1.5 bcm, or 48.3 mcm per day, was sent via Turkey.
Gas transit via Ukraine averaged around 1.31 bcm last month, or 42.3 mcm per day.
Gazprom’s natural gas exports to Europe this year have reached about 26.6 bcm so far, up 15% year on year.
The company, which has not published its own monthly statistics since the start of 2023, did not respond to a request for comment.
Russia supplied about 63.8 bcm of gas to Europe by various routes in 2022, Gazprom data and Reuters calculations show. The volume fell by 55.6% to 28.3 bcm last year.
At their peak in 2018-2019, annual flows to Europe reached between 175 bcm and 180 bcm.
