据天然气加工网站5月27日报道 由于需求复苏，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司将其对2021年天然气产量的预测上调至5065亿立方米，高于此前预测的4970亿立方米，为2011年以来的最大值。

俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司经历了一个寒冷的冬天及COVID-19影响减少后，欧洲市场的需求有所增加，该公司在欧洲的天然气市场份额超过三分之一。

预测产量将为2011年以来最高，当时俄气的产量为5132亿立方米。去年，该公司的天然气产量为4527亿立方米。

俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司副总经理Vitaly Markelov在一次网上简报会上表示，公司第一季度的产量已经超出预期约66亿立方米。

俄气另一名官员谢尔盖·门希科夫表示，产量增加是由现有油田支撑，同时公司计划引进新的油气田，如Kharasavey，以支持未来的生产。

该公司正将重点转向位于北极油气资源丰富的亚姆半岛的新油田。

Russia's Gazprom sees 2021 gas output at 10-year high

Gazprom increased its forecast for gas output for 2021 to 506.5 billion cubic meters (bcm), up from a previous forecast of 497 bcm and the largest since 2011, thanks to a recovery in demand.

Gazprom has seen higher demand in Europe, where it accounts for more than a third of the gas market share, following a cold winter and easing of COVID-19 lockdowns.

The forceast production would be the highest since 2011, when Gazprom produced 513.2 bcm. Last year the company produced 452.7 bcm of gas.

Vitaly Markelov, a deputy Gazprom head, told an online briefing that the company has already exceeded its first-quarter production forecast by around 6.6 bcm.

Another Gazprom official, Sergei Menshikov, said the production increase is provided by existing fields, while the company plans to bring on stream new deposits, such as Kharasavey, to support future production.

The company is shifting its focus to new fields located in the oil and gas-rich Yam peninsula in the Arctic.
