Russian gas exports up 25 bcm in Jan-Sept - Miller
NOVO-OGAREVO. Oct 3 (Interfax) - Exports of Russian gas increased by 25 billion cubic meters (bcm) over the period Q1-Q3, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said during a meeting with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
"We see positive trends in export directions. Over the first nine months of 2011, 25 billion more cubic meters were exported than during the same period of last year," Miller said.
"Of course, in Europe we are seeing turbulent processes, and the dynamics of consumption in different countries in Europe are showing different outcomes. But growth in consumption is associated primarily with growth in deliveries of gas to countries [that are] the European Union's economic leaders. The trend, we see, will continue with a growing volume of Russian gas deliveries to Europe," Miller said.
