The fire at the Russian Portovaya station was taken by a Finnish person at the position 38 km on 24/7.

Rystad Energy said that Russia burned the above natural gas, which could be a part of the testing process at Portovaya, expected to boot later this year.

Russian gas group Gazprom has not commented on Rystad Energy's report.
