Russian energy giant Gazprom increased its average daily natural gas supplies to Europe by 37% in July compared to June, when maintenance activities had curbed exports, calculations based on transmission data showed on Friday.
With Ukraine halting a key five-year transit agreement with Moscow at the start of the year, Türkiye’s TurkStream undersea pipeline remains the only route for Russian pipeline gas to reach European markets.
Data from the European gas transmission group Entsog indicated that daily Russian gas flows through TurkStream averaged 51.5 million cubic metres (mcm) in July, up from 37.6 mcm in June.
The July figure was also 4.7% higher than the same month last year, when average flows stood at 49.2 mcm per day.
In total, Gazprom exported approximately 9.93 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas to Europe via TurkStream during the first half of 2025, compared with 9.3 bcm during the same period in 2024.
By comparison, Gazprom’s total pipeline exports to Europe between January and July 2024 reached 18.3 bcm, a figure that included volumes transited through Ukraine.
Gazprom has not published monthly export data since early 2023 and did not respond to a request for comment.
