“Today’s depressurization of the pipeline at the Urengoy field was most likely due to a violation of well stopping technology, which led to a sharp change in the mode of transportation between the two fields. This will continue as demand for Russian gas decreases and “, – Bilyavsky noted on Facebook.
At the same time, he noted that the Urengoy and Western Siberian fields were developed by Ukrainian gas companies.
And compared to last year, Gazprom in May 2022 reduced production by 15% and exports by 30%.
