Gazprom has reported a record low level of gas reserves for the start of October at the Inčukalns underground storage facility — the only such facility in the Baltic states, according to Kommersant, citing the state corporation's press service.
According to the company, the current level of reserves at the facility, located in Latvia, is the lowest for this time of year in the entire history of observations.
The Inčukalns underground gas storage facility is used to balance gas consumption in the Baltic region during the autumn-winter season, when demand for gas traditionally increases.
The press service statement does not specify the exact reasons for the decline in reserves to a record low, nor the possible consequences of this situation for gas supply to the region in the upcoming heating season.
