Russia’s natural gas exports by pipeline to the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) declined by 40% during 1st 7 months of 2022
, where the natural gas pipeline branches out to the Czech Republic and Austria, transporting natural gas further to countries in northern and southern Europe.
Russia’s natural gas pipeline exports to the EU and the UK have been declining since 2020, initially as a result of reduced demand in Europe because of responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. In mid-2021, Russia began to limit its natural gas exports to Europe to long-term contracted volumes only and ended spot-market sales. Russia’s natural gas exports to the EU and the UK averaged 16.0 Bcf/d in 2019, 12.4 Bcf/d in 2020, and 10.9 Bcf/d in 2021.
The most significant decline in Russia’s exports has been into Germany via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline. Exports on Nord Stream 1 declined to 1.4 Bcf/d in July, only 20% of its design capacity of 5.6 Bcf/d. Russia’s deliveries to Germany at Mallnow also declined significantly, starting in October 2021.
Pipeline flows from Russia into Slovakia averaged 1.8 Bcf/d so far in 2022, compared with the previous five-year average of 4.2 Bcf/d for the same period. Pipeline flows declined, in part, because a natural gas compressor station located in Ukraine was taken offline. Russia’s natural gas deliveries into Poland and neighboring countries via Belarus averaged 0.9 Bcf/d from January 2021 through April 2022, declining to 0.2 Bcf/d since then.
