Gazprom to supply Austria with a third of the ordered volumes of gas on Monday

VIENNA, Sep 5 – PRIME. Gazprom is supplying the Austrian OMV with about a third of the gas volumes ordered for Monday, the company told RIA Novosti.

“Gas volumes for today’s gas day correspond to approximately 30% of the volume nominated by OMV for Austria in accordance with the contract,” the report says.

The Russian company stopped Nord Stream indefinitely after a three-day maintenance due to a malfunction of the only working turbine. Siemens said it “took note” of the reported malfunctions, but believes that Gazprom’s conclusion is not a technical reason for shutting down the gas pipeline.

Since June, fuel pumping through this line has been reduced due to difficulties in returning gas turbines from repair due to anti-Russian sanctions. First, deliveries were reduced to 40% of the maximum capacity of the pipe, and then to 20%.

At the same time, at the end of July, Russian gas supplies to Austria amounted to 50-40% of the ordered volumes.
