Total amount of gas in the reservoirs is 15.065 billion cubic meters
In the first week of August the amount of gas the underground storage reservoirs hold has increased by 1.09% and reached 15.065 billion cubic meters, the European gas storage league reports.
As of August 1, 2014, Ukraine has pumped 14.902 billion cubic meters of gas in the underground reservoirs. Thus, gas resources have grown by 163 million cubic meters from August 1 to 8, 2014. As of August 8, 2014, the underground tanks have been filled by 47.15%.
For today, 12 underground gas reservoirs keep around 31 billion cubic meters. Bilche-Volytske-Ugerske is the biggest gas storage filled so far– it holds 7.696 billion cubic meters of gas.
Naftogaz Ukraine reports the gas is being pumped to the underground tanks owing to the reverse gas flows from the Europe, and from domestic fuel sources, too. Ukraine is to stock at least 18 billion cubic meters of fuel.
In June, the former gas supplier, the Russian Federation, demanding advance payment suspended delivery of blue fuel to Ukraine.
