... smaller, the distance to consumers is shorter, and the company owns 51 per cent of the shares in the operator of Nord Stream 1, Nord Stream AG. However, Russia will continue to transit gas via Ukraine. Exactly how much will depend on the demand for Russian gas in Europe. In the long term, Gazprom could build new streams, for example, “Bulgarian Stream,” although there are no concrete plans for this as of yet. The second theory against Nord Stream 2 is, therefore, also false. It is worth emphasizing here that plans to create bypass ...

... forbade American companies to take part (supply equipment and technologies) in the following kinds of projects: deep water (over 152 meters) oil field development, Arctic shelf field development, scavenger oil field development, including shale oil and gas.

This wave of sanctions affected the Russian energy sector companies, though to a less extent than had been projected by the American government. The political elite didn’t turn against the political leader, on the contrary, they rallied around him along ideological lines. Restrictions ...

Gazprom Gaining Ground in Europe

... Republics. The decision is expected to be made by March 2017, though Gazprom being penalized to pay this prodigious sum of money is an unlikely scenario. Moreover, in June 2016 the same Arbitration Institute held that similar claims from Lithuania towards Gazprom (that the Russian company had to supply gas at a «reasonable» price) were unjustified and the Russian company hadn’t violated competitive conditions. At the same time, a decision in favor of Gazprom is not to be expected, as that would basically mean the total bankruptcy of ...

Germany and Russia Intensify Gas Cooperation Despite Political Tension

... existing gas interdependency. Nord Stream’s full capacity is not being used because of the restrictions on the OPAL pipeline, which links Nord Stream’s entry point at Greifswald, Germany with the Czech Border. Germany’s Wintershall and Russia’s Gazprom jointly own the pipeline.

Turkey’s price arbitrage with Gazprom over Turkish Stream

... unbundling production from distribution will increases security of supply. Indeed, it can help Russia avoid the problems it encountered due making Baumgarten its final destination point in Europe rather than giving infrastructure to European jurisdiction. Gazprom faces the choice of price or volume maximization fearing that Turkey will impose alternative tariffs or will export Russian gas elsewhere (similar to what was done by EU and its reverse flows). Vertical supply chain control on Turkish territory could help Gazprom maximize profits and build additional leverage vis-à-vis EU, however, by passing ownership to Turkey it ...

Nord Stream 2: Pros and Cons

... although this is an unlikely scenario given the slow economic growth on the continent. People often make the mistake of thinking that the interests of Russia and the interests of Gazprom are the same. In this case, however, they are largely the same. The Russian government does not care who produces and supplies the gasGazprom or Novatek, which also seeks to export gas to Europe. All it cares about is whether these activities generate revenue. The intertwining of the government apparatus and Gazprom does not promote competition on the domestic market in Russia. The ...

European Energy Woes

... have a difficult situation within the internal market as there is a sizeable over-supply with rooted demand whilst at the same time competition between three giants is increasing: Gazprom, Novatek and Rosneft. Novatek and Rosneft are already selling gas at discounted prices of 5-10% in contrast to the Russian Federal Tariff Service (FST) which Gazprom follows, so it means they are working within a profit margin and the existing price level is market orientated. Hence, the rational question arises why do we need to raise this price? As we see, major consumers like electricity generators are ...
