Simferopol - Chernomorneftegaz (Black Sea Oil & Gas), which operates in Crimea, has pumped a record 1.26 billion cubic meters of gas into the peninsula's only underground storage facility, Glebovskoye.
“The facility has built up a record volume of gas, 1.62 billion cubic meters, which guarantees undisrupted gas supply to Crimea in the winter. No problems will arise,” Chernomorneftegaz’s general director, Sergei Beim, said a meeting of Crimea’s Council of Ministers.
He said that gas the company produces offshore, in the Sea of Azov and Black Sea, costs 1,800 rubles per thousand cubic meters. Residents pay 1,300 rubles for household needs, which Beim said was 60 percent below the Russia average. “We don’t plan to raise the price,” he said.
