MOSCOW: Russia’s natural gas production in January-September rose 8.9% from a year earlier to 516.6 billion cubic metres (bcm) due to a ramp up in output by the Kremlin-controlled Gazprom, Kommersant daily said on Tuesday, citing industry sources.
It said that output of certain companies, mainly Gazprom, for the period rose 13.9% from the year-earlier period to 329.5 bcm, the newspaper said, which could be attributed to higher domestic demand.
