Gazprom's natural gas exports to countries outside the Commonwealth of Independent States also fell by 38.8% during the same period.
Exports totaled 84.8 billion cubic meters from Jan. 1 to Sept. 15.
In a statement on the upcoming winter months, the company said the high occupancy levels in underground natural gas storage facilities in Europe are not a guarantee of a reliable transition in the autumn-winter period or energy security.
The price of natural gas per megawatt-hour on Wednesday's closing for October contracts in Europe, trading on the Netherlands-based virtual natural gas trading point (TTF), showed a 97% rise to €217.88 ($217.47) compared to €72.43 ($72.29) on Jan.3.
