Miller: no adjustments to Gazprom export plans
MOSCOW. April 3 (Interfax) - Gazprom does not plan to adjust its gas export plans despite record export volumes in March, CEO Alexei Miller said.
"We are not going to adjust the delivery plans. There are no problems with deliveries. We are delivering just as much as our customers need," Miller said.
Gazprom produced 487 billion cubic meters of gas in 2012, although the company has capacity to produce 600 bcm. "We operate based on the market, on actualities, orders," he said.
If demand warrants, Gazprom could increase exports, he said, mentioning the deliveries in March as an example. "On individual days in March we delivered 60% more gas to consumers than the maximum daily indicators," he said.
"We'll not be adjusting our export plans, there are no problems with supplies, we are supplying as much as the consumer needs," he said.
Miller said Gazprom produced 487 bcm of gas last year, but had the capacity to produce more than 600 bcm. "We work according to the market, to order," he said.
Gazprom could increase supplies, depending on demand. Miller gave March as an example: "In March on some days we supplied consumers with 60% above maximum daily volumes."
