据油价网2021年8月4日报道，俄罗斯天然气工业出口公司（俄气出口/Gazprom Neft）本周公布的统计数据显示，从今年1月到7月，俄气对欧洲的天然气出口数量增加了23%。
根据俄气出口的统计数据，今年前7个月，俄气对土耳其和欧洲的天然气销售量达到了1153亿立方米，年增23.2%，但仍低于2018年以来的历史最高水平。
欧洲对天然气的需求今年强劲反弹。去年春夏两季，由于疫情导致欧洲各地实行封锁，导致需求大幅下滑。
今年，俄气在1月至7月期间大幅增加了对土耳其(203.9%)、德国(42.2%)、意大利(16.2%)、罗马尼亚(318.3%)、波兰(14.6%)、塞尔维亚(118.1%)、保加利亚(47%)、法国(6%)和希腊(18.8%)的天然气供应。
俄气出口表示，与去年同期相比，俄气今年1至7月的天然气产量增长了18.4%。
尽管与受疫情影响的2020年相比，俄气今年的天然气产量和管道出货量都有所增加，但俄气继续抑制向欧洲供应天然气。
尽管欧洲天然气需求强劲反弹，价格飙升，但俄气并未预订经由乌克兰进入欧洲的额外产能。 尽管俄气7月份对通往欧洲的北部管道进行了维护，但俄气并没有接受乌克兰提供的额外产能。
分析人士表示，这可能是这家俄罗斯巨头的一次机会主义举动，目的是进一步推高欧洲的天然气价格，并利用目前天然气价格处于13年来最高水平的机会。 其他分析人士认为，俄气减少供应的实际行动，将迫使欧洲认识到，欧洲大陆的天然气客户需要绕过乌克兰通往德国的备受争议的北溪-2管道。

Gazprom Boosts Gas Exports To Europe In H1 2021
Russia’s gas giant Gazprom boosted its natural gas exports to Europe by 23 percent in January to July 2021, Gazprom Export said this week.
In the first seven months of this year, Gazprom’s gas sales to Turkey and Europe reached 115.3 billion cubic meters, up by 23.2 percent annually, but lower than the record high from 2018, according to Gazprom Export’s data.
Demand for natural gas in Europe has rebounded strongly this year, following the slump in the spring and summer last year when demand fell with the pandemic-induced lockdowns across Europe.
This year, Gazprom boosted significantly its gas supply between January and July to Turkey (by 203.9 percent), Germany (by 42.2 percent), Italy (by 16.2 percent), Romania (by 318.3 percent), Poland (by 14.6 percent), Serbia (by 118.1 percent), Bulgaria (by 47%), France (by 6 percent), and Greece (by 18.8 percent).
Gazprom’s natural gas production rose by 18.4 percent in January-July 2021 compared with the same period of 2020, Gazprom Export said.
Despite the rising output and pipeline shipments of more gas this year compared to the pandemic-hit 2020, Gazprom continues to withhold gas supply to Europe.
Even with the strong rebound in European natural gas demand and surging prices, Gazprom has not booked additional entry capacity to Europe via Ukraine. Despite maintenance align="justify"> Analysts say that this could be an opportunistic move from the Russian giant to drive up Europe’s gas prices further and take advantage of what are now the highest prices in 13 years. Other analysts think that Gazprom’s effective reduction in supplies would be to force Europe to recognize that gas customers on the continent need the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Germany bypassing Ukraine.
