PGNiG will receive compensation from Gazprom

Polish Gas and Oil Mining (PGNiG) will receive compensation from Gazprom in the form of a discounted price. The announcement has been released by the company's press secretary. The adjustment is in response to lower than expected deliveries in September. PGNiG had upped its orders for gas from the East and the orders were not fulfilled for a few weeks. In response, Gazprom agreed to a discount in the price of gas. Reuters further commented that the allegations by PGNiG may have been a strategic move in anticipation of upcoming gas contract negotiations.
