The total sale of gas is raised despite the traditional seasonal drop in demand for gas in the spring and summer months.

Company Gazprom announced today that in the second quarter of this year the total sale of gas was raised by 37% against the same period last year, while profit before tax grew by as much as 52% and was USD 34bn.

The total sale of gas went up despite the traditional seasonal drop in demand for gas and the summer months.

The net debts of the company, as the announcement states, were reduced by 17%.
