据油价网莫斯科报道，俄罗斯政府副总理诺瓦克10月15日在莫斯科表示，如果俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(俄气/Gazprom)看到欧洲长期供应合同的需求量增加，俄气可能会提高天然气产能。
在谈到俄气的生产设施和9月份向欧洲的交货时，诺瓦克对俄罗斯新闻媒体Business FM表示，天然气产能不可能奇迹般地提高。
诺瓦克在俄罗斯能源周间隙接受Business FM采访时表示：“当然，如果俄罗斯的欧洲合作伙伴增加订单，如果长期合同的数量增加，我认为俄气肯定会发展其天然气产能。”
诺瓦克说，欧洲的能源危机是天然气库存极低和政策失误的结果，而不是俄罗斯供应不足的结果。
在接受Business FM的采访时，诺瓦克还驳斥了俄罗斯停止向欧洲供应天然气以迫使欧盟接受有争议的北溪-2天然气管道的必要性的说法。

Gazprom May Boost Production Capacity For Long-Term Gas Deals
Russia’s gas giant Gazprom could increase production capacity if it sees higher demand for volumes under long-term supply contracts from Europe, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said align="justify"> Speaking about Gazprom’s production facilities and deliveries to Europe in September, Novak told Russian news outlet Business FM that production capacity can’t just be magically raised.
“Of course, if Russia’s European partners increase orders and if the volumes in long-term contracts grow, I think that Gazprom will surely develop its production capacity,” Novak told Business FM in an interview align="justify"> Europe’s energy crisis is the result of very low gas inventories and policy mistakes, not low supply from Russia, said Novak.
In the interview with Business FM, Novak also dismissed suggestions that Russia has been withholding supply to Europe to force the EU into accepting that the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is and will be needed.
