Gazprom pointed to record declines in European gas reserves during the holidays

In Europe, gas reserves in underground storage facilities continue to decrease at a record pace during the holidays. This was reported in the Gazprom press service on December 28 in the Telegram channel.

"According to Gas Infrastructure Europe, on December 26 (and before that, on December 24 and 25), the maximum daily gas withdrawals from European UGS (underground gas storage facilities) in the entire history of observations were recorded for these days. It should be noted that Europe usually consumes less gas on weekends and holidays than on weekdays," the report says.

It is noted that in Europe they usually spend less gas on weekends and holidays than on weekdays. The report also states that a rapid reduction in gas reserves in Europe may lead to problems with gas supply in winter.
