Data shows that Russian gas exports to Europe increased 10% m/m during May.

Calculations showed that the average daily supply of natural gas to Europe by Russian energy giant Gazprom via TurkStream's undersea pipe increased 10.3% from a year earlier in May, according to calculations released on Monday.

The only remaining transit route for Russian gas into Europe is through Turkey after Ukraine decided not to renew a transit agreement with Moscow that expired in January.

Based on data provided by the European gas transmission group Entsog, calculations showed that Russian gas exported via TurkStream rose from 41.7 million cubic metres per day to 46.0 mcm in May. This was down from the 47.2 mcm of May 2024.

Calculations show that the total Russian gas supplied to Europe through TurkStream in the first five month of this year was around 7.2 billion cubic meters (bcm), compared to the 6.6 bcm delivered during the same time period last year.

The company did not reply to a comment request. It hasn't published its monthly statistics since 2023.

Gazprom's data and calculations indicate that Russia shipped 63.8 billion cubic meters of gas by different routes to Europe in 2022. This fell by 55.6% in 2024 to 28,3 bcm, but increased in 2024 to about 32 bcm.

Gas flows into Europe peaked between 2018 and 2019. The annual flow was around 175 to 180 bcm. (Reporting and editing by Andrew Osborn.)
