MOSCOW, March 31 (Reuters) - Gazprom's gas
supplies to Europe were up 4% on a daily basis in March compared
to February, according to Reuters calculations based on shipment
data from Gazprom's daily transit volumes sent through Turkey
and Ukraine.
Since Russian gas supplies to Europe through the
Yamal-Europe gas pipeline and Nord Stream were suspended last
year, the only routes for Russian gas to Europe are via transit
through the TurkStream pipeline through Turkey and through
Ukraine.
The average daily amount of gas supped to Europe through
these routes increased to 70.3 million cubic metres (mcm) in
March, up from 67.5 mcm in February, Reuters calculated.
The total amount shipped to Europe during the month was
around 2.18 billion cubic metres (bcm). Some 1.28 bcm - a daily
average of 41.2 mcm - went through Ukraine, with 902 mcm - or
29.1 mcm a day basis - through Turkey.
The data come from Gazprom, which discloses daily volumes
shipped through Ukraine, and the European Network of
Transmission System Operators (ENTSOG).
Gazprom stopped publishing statistics on its overall export
volumes at the start of the year. It previously disclosed export
levels twice a month.
The company did not respond to a request to comment.
Since the start of the year, Gazprom has shipped 5.9 bcm of
gas to Europe in total, according to Reuters calculations.
Last year Russia supplied a total of around 62 bcm of gas to
Europe by various routes. Total exports to non-CIS countries
including China and Turkey were down by almost 46% to 100.9 bcm
in 2022, according to Gazprom's own statistics.
