俄气预计欧洲天然气市场将从第三季度恢复

据能源世界网4月9日莫斯科报道，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司（Gazprom）预计，受疫情影响的欧洲天然气需求将从第三季度开始复苏。

俄气表示，由于与疫情相关的封锁和温暖的天气，最近几周欧洲需求下降加速，而发电需求并未因转用煤炭而下降。

俄气预计，封锁期将导致欧洲天然气市场在今年第三-第四季度恢复增长。

其还在周三的报告中表示，俄气在电话中表示，其希望今年实现积极的自由现金流，并致力于其新的股息政策。

俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司没有立即回应置评请求。

Russia's Gazprom expects EU gas market to recover from Q3: Rencap

Gazprom expects European gas demand, dented by the coronavirus crisis, to start recovering from the third quarter, Renaissance Capital wrote after a call with the Russian gas giant.

Renaissance Capital wrote in a note that Gazprom said the drop in European demand accelerated in recent weeks due to the coronavirus-related lockdowns and warm weather, while power generation demand did not fall due to switching from coal.

"Gazprom expects the lockdown roll-over will result in European gas markets resuming growth in 3Q-4Q 2020," Renaissance Capital said.

It also said in Wednesday's note that Gazprom had said on the call that it wanted to achieve positive free cash flow this year and was committed to its new dividend policy.

Gazprom did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
