Gazprom to suspend Blue Stream pipeline for maintenance

- Russian Gazprom will fully suspend gas exports to Turkey via the Blue Stream for 9 days

Russian gas giant Gazprom will fully suspend gas exports to Turkey via the Blue Stream natural gas pipeline from May 15 to May 23, the company said on Thursday.

Gazprom said that maintenance is planned over this period.

Last year, Gazprom sent 15.8 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Turkey via the Blue Stream.

Turkey receives around 50 percent of its Russian gas imports through the Blue Stream.
