Alexey Miller and Rainer Seele note considerable growth in Russian gas exports to Austria

A working meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of the #gazprom Management Committee, and #rainerseele, Chairman of the Executive Board of OMV, took place in Moscow today.

The parties reviewed the issues of cooperation in the #Energy industry, focusing on, inter alia, substantial growth in Russian #gas exports to Austria. According to preliminary data, from January 1 through May 14, 2018, #gazprom delivered to Austria 4.7 billion cubic meters of gas, an increase of 70.4 per cent from the same period of last year.

Particular attention was paid to the progress of the Nord Stream 2 project.


Background

In 2017, #gazprom set a new record for #gas exports to Austria at 9.1 billion cubic meters, a rise of 50.3 per cent (3 billion cubic meters) from 2016 (6.1 billion cubic meters) and 33.7 per cent (2.3 billion cubic meters) from 2005, when the previous record had been reached (6.8 billion cubic meters).

OMV is Gazprom’s main partner in Austria. The companies cooperate in gas production, transportation and supplies.

Nord Stream 2 is the construction project for a gas pipeline with the annual capacity of 55 billion cubic meters from #Russia to Germany across the Baltic Sea.
