Gazprom Upped European Exports by 8.2 Per Cent in 2011

Figures released by the export arm of Russian Gazprom, Gazprom Export, have shown that the company increased its export amounts to European customers by 8.2 per cent last year.

Turkey saw the biggest increase in supply, after Gazprom's domestic customers, with an increase of 44 per cent in supply to 26 billion cubic metres. Italy took third poisition for increased supply, with an increase of 31 per cent to 17.1 billion cubic metres.
