By the end of this year, Poland’s oil and gas company, PGNiG, will sign long term contracts with US companies to supply 5.5 billion cubic meters of gas a year for 20 years, Maciej Wozniak, company vice president, tells Polish Radio. Including transportation from Louisiana and regasification in Poland, he said, this gas will be cheaper than Gazprom pipeline gas from Russia. Since March, Ukraine has received 539 million cubic meters of gas from PGNiG’s Hermanowice pipeline node, located 3 km west of Poland’s border with Lviv region.
