The events in the Suji area led to a sharp increase in prices for both natural gas and LNG. On August 9, the annual peak of stock prices was recorded. This was stated by Gazprom's official representative Sergey Kupriyanov, the company said in a statement.
In addition, according to S. Kupriyanov, planned routine maintenance work at the facilities of the Norwegian gas industry may become a significant factor.
"According to analysts, it is possible that these works may be delayed, as happened last year. Analysts also believe that the upward trend in gas prices will continue," S. Kupriyanov stressed.
