Eni confirms the resumption of supplies from Gazprom

MOSCOW, 5 Oct – PRIME. The Italian oil and gas company Eni confirmed the resumption of Russian gas supplies through Austria.

“Eni informs that gas supplies supplied by Gazprom through Austria have resumed today,” the group said in a statement.

As specified, Eni and stakeholders were able to find solutions to overcome the limitations associated with changes in Austrian regulatory requirements.

Gazprom suspended gas supplies through Austria on October 1 due to the refusal of the Austrian operator to confirm transport nominations and said it was working on a solution to the problem together with Italian buyers. Claudio Descalzi, head of oil and gas company Eni, explained that the suspension was due to the need to make “financial guarantees” for the passage of gas to the Austrian carrier, and not for political reasons.

On Wednesday, the Russian company announced that it had reached an agreement with consumers in Italy and would resume pumping fuel through Austria.
