Gazprom’s deliveries to Uzbekistan under the new contract may amount to 6 billion cubic meters per year or about 18 million cubic meters per day, RBC reports.
Transit of gas from Russia will go through the gas pipeline “Central Asia – Center” (CAC), passing through the territory of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Delivery volumes will be updated every year.
According to analysts, the purchase of 6 billion cubic meters from Gazprom will allow Uzbekistan to meet its own needs, but it will not be enough to fully fulfill the contract for gas exports to China.
“Beijing and Tashkent signed a contract for the supply of up to 10 billion cubic meters of gas annually, but these volumes have never been delivered in full. In addition, due to winter interruptions caused, among other things, by the suspension of transit from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan could not fulfill its export obligations to China, freezing supplies for three months,” the report reads.
It should be recalled that at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum an agreement was signed on the supply of Russian gas to Uzbekistan, as well as a “roadmap” for preparing the republic’s gas transportation system and preparing for transportation.
The documents were signed by the Minister of Energy of Uzbekistan, Jurabek Mirzamakhmudov, and the Chairman of the Management Board of Gazprom, Alexey Miller, with the participation of Deputy PM Jamshid Khodjayev.
They also specified that the export of Russian gas to Uzbekistan through the territory of Kazakhstan will begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
In addition, it was previously reported that QazaqGaz and Gazprom signed an agreement on the transportation of Russian gas for consumers in Uzbekistan.
