OREANDA-NEWS In 2025, Russia may increase gas production. This conclusion was reached by experts of the International Energy Agency (IEA), who published it in the "Global Gas Security Review 2024".

In their opinion, next year the production of this hydrocarbon in the Russian Federation may increase by almost two percent and reach 687 billion cubic meters. In 2024, according to the IEA, Russia will produce 675 billion cubic meters of this energy carrier.

Earlier, it was predicted that one of the results of the competition between Europe and Asia for this type of fossil fuel will be that in 2025, global demand for it will rise to record high values.

According to the IEA, in the first six months of 2024, Russia increased gas supplies to Europe. At the same time, the countries of this continent have reduced imports of liquefied natural gas by 17 billion cubic meters.
