Russian Gas Transit Through Belarus Up to 117 Mcm/Day - Beltransgaz

MINSK. Jan 10 (Interfax) - The daily volume of Russian natural gas supplied in Poland's direction through Belarus has been increased by about 35 million cubic meters to 117 million cubic meters since the beginning of 2009, the Belarusian national gas transportation company Beltransgaz told Interfax on Saturday.

"In particular, gas delivery through the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline owned by [the Russian gas monopoly] Gazprom has been increased by 25.5 million cubic meters a day and that through the Beltransgaz system by 9.6 million cubic meters a day," it said.

It was reported earlier that gas transit through Belarus had been increased on January 1, 2009, when Gazprom cut off gas supplies to Ukraine itself and started increasing gas transit to Europe through alternative routes.

Gas transit through Belarus amounts on average to 50 billion cubic meters a year, including 33 billion cubic meters pumped through the Belarusian section of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline.
