Reference:

Russian gas was first delivered to Germany over 30 years ago. In 1970, the Soviet Soyuznefteexport Foreign Trading Association and the Ruhrgas company entered into a 20-year Contract on gas deliveries to the Federative Republic of Germany. The Contract was concluded within a range of Agreements called "Gas-Pipes".These Agreements envisaged supplies of gas and pipes, stipulated a crediting scheme devising and laid foundations for gas trade between Russia and Germany.

On 1 October 1973, Russian gas first crossed the border of West Germany (Waidhaus, Bavaria).

At present, Germany is the largest purchaser of Russian gas. Last year, Gazprom piped 29.6 bcm of natural gas to German consumers, including roughly 20 bcm channeled to Ruhrgas, one of the largest purchasers of Gazprom's gas.

The contracts concluded between Gazprom and Ruhrgas have a validity up to 2030.

The Ruhrgas AG company was incorporated back in 1926 and is nowadays one of the biggest gas transmission entities in Europe. Ruhrgas' major business lines are natural gas procurement, transmission and marketing to German gas distribution companies.

At the start of 2003, Ruhrgas AG entered the largest German E.ON AG Energy Concern.

Ruhrgas is the largest foreign shareholder of Gazprom, controlling some 6.5% of the latter company's stake, including 3.5%, directly and 3%, through Gerosgaz, a joint venture of Gazexport (51%) and Ruhrgas (49%).
