Russia Cuts 2026-27 Gas Output Forecasts, 2025 Output Rises

Russia's official forecast for gas production in 2026 was lowered to 683.1 bcm from 688.4 bcm, and the 2027 forecast to 696 bcm, while 2025 output is projected at 662.7 bcm, up from prior levels. The revision signals softer near-term demand or infrastructure constraints, but 2025 growth indicates resilience. This matters for global gas supply expectations, especially for European and Asian buyers.
