Moscow – SABA:
Daily supplies of natural gas from Russia to Europe via the "TurkStream" pipeline increased by 10.2% in May compared to the previous month.
This was confirmed today, Monday, by the Russian news agency "Novosti," which cited calculations based on data from the European Network of Gas Transmission System Operators (ENTSOG).
Novosti reported that the average gas flow through the "TurkStream" pipeline—which runs from Russia to Turkey under the Black Sea—from May 1, 2025, to May 31, 2025, was 45.9 million cubic meters per day. This marks a 10.2% increase compared to April, when the figure stood at 41.7 million cubic meters per day.
The total volume supplied in May reached 1.42 billion cubic meters, while in April, it was 1.25 billion cubic meters.
The "TurkStream" pipeline consists of two lines for exporting gas from Russia to Turkey across the Black Sea. The first line is dedicated to supplying natural gas to Turkish consumers, while the second delivers gas to countries in Southern and Southeastern Europe (Serbia, Romania, Greece, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Hungary).
The total capacity of the "TurkStream" pipeline is 31.5 billion cubic meters per year.
Following the halt of Russian gas transit through Ukraine on January 1, 2025, this route has become the sole pathway for Gazprom to deliver its supplies to Europe.
