Gazprom plans to cut gas volumes to Azerbaijan

摘要

Moscow-Russian gas giant Gazprom plans to cut supplies to Azerbaijan from 4.5 billion cubic meters to 1.5 Bcm next year as Azerbaijan increases its own production, a Gazprom spokesman said November 22. "This volume will fully meet Azerbaijan's demand in imported gas, given a hike in the price of Russian gas, and a significant increase in the country's own production," the spokesman said. "Azerbaijan is getting ready for the start of export supplies of its own gas. We are not against competition, but it is ineffective for Gazprom to keep up with it with its own resources," he said.
