RUSSIAN GAS FOR FRANCE

РУССКИЙ ГАЗ ДЛЯ ФРАНЦИИ

GAZPROM - A working meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Isabelle Kocher, CEO of ENGIE, took place in St. Petersburg.

Through their respective representants, Gazprom and ENGIE discussed the ongoing Russian gas supplies to France. In 2018, Gazprom increased gas exports to France by 5.4 per cent as compared to 2017 – up to 12.9 billion cubic meters. This upward trend has remained throughout early 2019: according to provisional estimates, Gazprom exported 2.5 billion cubic meters of gas from January 1 to March 14, 2019, showing a 1.9 per cent increase compared to the same period of 2018.

The meeting also touched upon the prospects for further sci-tech cooperation and collaboration in the area of culture.

Special attention was given to the progress of the Nord Stream 2 project.
