Gazprom could reach the pre-financial crisis levels of gas production by the yearend, the Russian energy giant's CEO, Alexei Miller, said Tuesday.
In the pre-crisis year 2008, Gazprom produced 549.7 billion cu m of natural gas. In 2010, Gazprom produced 508.6 bcm, or 10% more than in 2009.
"If the Russian economy revival rates remain the same, by the end of 2011 we will be able to reach the pre-crisis levels of gas production," Miller told journalists.
