Gazprom builds up gas exports to Turkey by 25.4 mm cm

Gazprom has increased gas supplies to Turkey by 25.4 mm cm.
Gazprom said that on February 11-25 the volume of gas exports to Turkey through the Blue Stream gas pipeline had grown from 20 to 29 mm cm, as well as Russia's gas export through the western route via Ukraine, Moldova and Bulgaria -- from 20 to 29 mm cm.

At present, the overall gas export to Turkey is 67.4 mm cm a day. Gas supplies in a bigger volume continue.
It is not the first time when the Russian gas giant meets the needs of Turkish gas consumers. Earlier, the Turkish BOTAS company had often asked for a bigger volume of gas exports, and Gazprom always satisfied the Turkish demand, given technical possibilities.

Turkey is Russia's second biggest gas importer after Germany.
In 2007, Russia exported 23.4 bn cm of gas to Turkey.
