Gazprom is selling its 50-percent stake in gas company Overgas Inc., registered in Bulgaria. For many years Overgas Inc. used to be an intermediary in deliveries of certain quantities of natural gas to Bulgaria. With revenues Overgas created gas supply networks in a number of villages and towns in the country. In the last working day of 2015, Gazprom Export informed the management of Overgas Inc., that gas supplies to the company would stop on January 1, 2016, which directly affected 59,000 households in the country. Due to urgent decisions by the cabinet, the crisis was quickly resolved with supplies from Bulgarian state company Bulgargaz. Later Overgas Inc. filed a claim at the arbitration court in Paris, arguing that halting gas supplies was in violation of a contract.
