Gazprom to Deliver 30 Million Cubic Meters/Day to Turkey

Russia's gas giant Gazprom raised daily natural gas supply to Turkey on Tuesday, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.

Gazprom raised the amount of natural gas transferred to Turkey to 30 million cubic meters per day, a statement by Gazprom spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov was quoted as saying.

Kupriyanov said in the statement that Gazprom decided to send additional natural gas to Turkey after a blast cut a Iran-Turkey pipeline on Monday.

Around 22 million cubic meters of natural gas was transported to Turkey via the Blue Stream pipeline per day before the blast.

Gazprom is one of the world's largest gas companies basically focused on geological exploration, production, transmission, storage, processing and marketing of gas and other hydrocarbons.

Its mission is to provide effective and well-balanced gas supply to Russian customers and to safely implement long-term gas export contracts.
