GAS RESERVES ARE ENOUGH AS YET FOR UNINTERRUPTED SUPPLY OF ARMENIAN CONSUMERS
Yerevan, December 20. ArmInfo. The gas reserves, stored in the
Abovyan underground gas storage (UGS), are enough as yet for
uninterrupted supply of the Armenian consumers, the Director General
of "ArmRosgasprom" CJSC, Karen Karapetyan, said, commenting on the
situation, developed as a result of accident on the main gas line
in Georgia.
According to Karapetyan, gas consumption in winter time vastly
increases in Armenia and if Georgia does not take urgent measures to
eliminate the accident consequences, the gas consumption in Armenia
will be limited. To recap, as a result of snow avalanching in Georgia
December 16, the main gas line, by which Armenia receives the Russian
gas, was damaged. At present, the hydrocarbon raw material enters the
Republic through a backup branch in a volume that is three times less
than the necessary one. The missing volumes are filled up due to a gas,
stored in the Abovyan UGS.
