Gazprom output up 10.5% y/y in Jan-Mar
Russia's Gazprom produced 136.2bn m3 of gas in the first three months of 2021, marking a 10.5% increase year on year, the state-owned company reported on April 2.
Gazprom's domestic sales increased by 21.4% to 17.3bn m3, while exports to countries beyond the former Soviet Union (FSU) soared 30.7% to 52.7bn m3. Exports to non-FSU countries in Europe were higher in March than in February, the company said, meaning the former "was essentially a winter month from the point of view of consumer demand for Gazprom's gas."
