MOSCOW/PRAGUE, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Russian gas producer

Gazprom said it would send 42.4 million cubic metres

of gas to Europe via Ukraine on Tuesday, the same volume as on

Monday, while nominations for gas flows to Austria from Slovakia

edged up.

The European energy markets have been on edge over a

contractual row between Gazprom and Austria's OMV,

which led to the Kremlin-controlled firm halting supply to the

Vienna-based company on Saturday.

The flows to OMV were stopped after it threatened to

impound some of Gazprom's gas as compensation for an arbitration

it had won over the contractual dispute.

Daily flows to Europe via Ukraine have remained around

normal levels, however, and gas has continued to flow into

Austria.

Nominations, or requests from customers, for flows to

Austria from Slovakia were up 6% on Tuesday versus Monday but

remained about 12% below levels seen before Gazprom halted

supply to OMV.

It was not clear who was buying gas previously intended for

OMV.

Nominations to the Czech Republic from Slovakia were roughly

in line with levels seen in previous days this month.

Nominations for flows into Slovakia from Ukraine were also

little changed while nominations for flows leaving Slovakia were

mostly stable, data from transmission system operator Eustream

showed.
