The cooperation between Gazprom and GDF SUEZ in the gas supply sector started in 1975. In 2006 Gazprom and GDF SUEZ signed the Agreement to extend all of the three existing contracts for Russian natural gas supply to France until 2030. Moreover, the parties agreed on additional gas volumes for GDF SUEZ via the Nord Stream gas pipeline: at present, its contracted volume is 2.5 billion cubic meters per year.
Nord Stream is an export gas pipeline with the annual capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of gas across the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany. A 1,224-kilometer gas pipeline consists of two strings. Nord Stream AG, a joint project company (Gazprom holding a 51 per cent stake, Wintershall Holding and E.ON Global Commodities – 15.5 per cent each, Gasunie and GDF Suez – 9 per cent each) is the project operator.
In 2014 Gazprom exported 7.095 billion cubic meters of gas to France.
