Russia boosts gas exports to Turkey
MOSCOW
Petroleumworld.com, Jan 15, 2008Russia has further boosted natural gas exports to Turkey, Russian gas monopoly Gazprom said on Monday, as a cut in Iranian gas supplies to Turkey continued.
"Gazprom today increased Russian gas supplies to 40 million cubic metres per day through the Blue Stream pipeline" to Turkey, the state-controlled gas giant said in the statement.
Gazprom said last week it had increased supplies to 38 million cubic metres per day to Turkey after Iran announced it would cut supplies to Turkey amid record low winter temperatures in the Islamic republic.
Iran has also had its own gas supplies from the Central Asian state of Turkmenistan cut because of a bitter payment dispute, depriving households and factories in the north of the country.
