Russia's gas company Gazprom may increase its output by 80-115 billion cubic meters by 2035 thanks to developing projects in new regions, board member Oleg Aksyutin said on Tuesday.
"Developing gas extraction in new regions will allow to increase output by 80-115 billion cubic meters by 2035, depending on consumption," Aksyutin said.
Russia's gas company Gazprom has increased its share on the European market from 34.7% in 2017 to 36.7% in 2018, Aksyutin said.
"We are occupying leading positions on the European gas market, having ensured 36.7% of consumption last year," he noted.
Gazprom's head Alexey Miller earlier said that the company increased its gas output by 5.4% to 497.6 billion cubic meters in 2018, and gas export - by 3.4% to 201 billion cubic meters.
"We are currently in talks on possibly increasing gas supplies via the Power of Siberia pipeline, as well as supplies through new projects - the Power of Siberia 2 - and through the Far Eastern route. If new projects are implemented by 2035, the share of Gazprom's supplies may rise to 13% in consumption and to 25% in gas imports, and our company may become the largest supplier on the Chinese market," Aksyutin said.
