Gazprom lifts 2017 gas export forecast to record high

摘要

Russia's Gazprom plans to export about 190 Bcm of natural gas to Europe and Turkey this year, setting a new record, CEO Alexei Miller said Thursday, raising the previous guidance. The gas giant's export arm, Gazprom Export, in June estimated 2017 exports at 183 Bcm. The new forecast means a 6 boost to last year's record Russian gas export volume of 179.3 Bcm sent to the Far Abroad (Europe and Turkey, but not the countries of the former Soviet Union).
