Platts: Gazprom gas exports to Europe in May up over 10% year-on-year to 13.75 Bcm

Deliveries of Russian gas to both Europe and Ukraine rose sharply in May as the gas price dispute between Russia and Ukraine persists, raising concerns over possible interruptions in supplies in June.

Deliveries to Europe rose more than 10% year-on-year to 13.75 billion cubic meters of natural gas in May, Gazprom's CEO Alexei Miller said late Tuesday.

"Gazprom continues to increase sales of gas to its clients in Europe even when it is compared to record supplies last year," he said, as quoted by Gazprom's press office.

In the first five months of the year, Gazprom's supplies of natural gas to European markets, including Turkey, grew 5%, Miller said, giving no absolute figures.
