Russia LNG sales to France up 41% y/y in Jan-Sep 2023 -RIA news agency
Feb 11 (Reuters) -Russian supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to France increased by 41% in annual terms in the first nine months of 2023, Russia's RIA state news agency reported on Sunday, citing a Russian foreign ministry official.
"In January-September of 2023, French purchases from Russia exceeded the same period of 2022 by 41%," RIA reported, citing Artem Studennikov, head of a European department at the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Studennikov said the main French receiving point for Russian LNG was the terminal in Montoir-de-Bretagne, which received 1.68 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2022, and 0.89 billion cubic meters of LNG in the first half of 2023.
LSEG data showed in January, however, that Europe overall sharply cut its imports of Russian pipeline gas in response to the conflict in Ukraine, while increasing purchases of LNG from global producers in 2023.
