Pravda: Gazprom to build additional underground storage facilities in EU countries
Gazprom plans to build additional underground gas storage facilities in Germany, the UK, the Czech Republic and Turkey, ITAR-TASS reports with reference to the company's corporate publication.
The new facilities will be built to supply Russian gas on Nord Stream and South Stream pipeline systems. The development of the storage system in foreign countries will allow Gazprom to increase active capacities in the next decade to nearly six billion cubic meters of gas.
In preparation for the autumn-winter 2013/2014 season, four billion cubic meters of gas was loaded into underground gas storage facilities (UGSF) in foreign countries (including rental contracts and buffering capacity volumes).
