The availability of interconnections and economically acceptable transportation costs are a condition for natural gas reaching consumer markets. With the dependence of major consuming countries on imported natural gas increasing – with the exception of countries that can rely on significant own reserves of unconventional gas – international trade in natural gas is expected to grow over the next decades. Common principles are necessary to enable such trade and to facilitate transit. Basic principles for transmission tariffs and some other aspects related to the utilisation of energy transport facilities have been elaborated in the Energy Charter. This study analyses methodologies and tariff principles for natural gas transmission Gas Transit and Transmission Tariffs in used in member countries of the Energy Charter Treaty, paying particular attention to developments in Europe, the Black Sea region and Central Asia. Common basic principles exist across this area, but concrete methodologies vary, as well as the Energy Charter Treaty Countries: choice of the market structure and the treatment of transit, in particular between the European Union on the one hand and some Eastern European and Central Asian countries on the other. The study compares the following aspects of regulatory regimes: Regulatory Aspects and - the role of the regulator, third-party access and unbundling; - the treatment of gas transit; Tariff Methodologies - methodologies to calculate capital and operational costs; - unit tariff methodologies. 2012 Energy Charter Secretariat 2012 Energy Charter Secretariat ISBN: Boulevard de la Woluwe, 56 .

All rights otherwise reserved. Preface Preface Demand for natural gas is expected to increase significantly in the decades to come. International gas markets will continue to change due to the shale gas revolution, a growing role of LNG and changing energy policies of the consuming countries. International trade in natural gas will grow in any event. Major suppliers will play an even stronger role and will use both pipelines and LNG to sell natural gas on their traditional and new emerging consumers’ markets. At the same time, efforts by the consuming countries to diversify their sources and routes of supply will be stepped up. In parallel, new suppliers will strive to sell natural gas under more favourable conditions on the global market. Such new suppliers are often located in land-locked countries, thus making it necessary to have the appropriate cross-border and transit transportation infrastructure in place. The Energy Charter Treaty of 1994, which is today in force in 46 countries in Eurasia as well the European Union as a whole, has strong provisions aiming at the facilitation of transit and cross-border energy transport infrastructure. The Energy Charter’s policy forum has been used to discuss common principles for transit and cross-border energy transport, including access rules, tariffs, congestion management mechanisms and emergency response mechanisms. Laying down such principles in a binding Protocol remains an attractive option for the members of the Energy Charter Treaty. This study focuses on natural gas transit and transmission tariffs as one critical aspect in view of the development of mutual beneficial cooperation and open markets. It analyses the underlying methodologies and tariff principles used in member countries of the Energy Charter Treaty, paying particular attention to developments in the Europe, the Black Sea region and Central Asia. For this study, the 2006 report “Gas Transit Tariffs in selected Energy Charter Treaty Countries” has been substantially revised, using information provided from governments and available from open sources. The study was written by Florian Encke under the responsibility of the Directorate for Trade and Transit of the Energy Charter Secretariat, headed by Steivan Defilla. This study is published under my responsibility as Secretary General and is without prejudice to the positions of Contracting Parties or their rights or obligations under the Energy Charter Treaty or the WTO Agreements.

  • Processing Plant Like an Oasis, the Processing Plant Lights up the Coastal Landscape in Late Summer Evenings
    FACTS Kollsnes Processing Plant Like an oasis, the processing plant lights up the coastal landscape in late summer evenings. The Kollsnes processing plant plays a key role in the transport of large quanti- ties of gas from fields in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea to customers in Europe. Gas from Kollsnes accounts for around 40 per cent of all Norwegian gas deliveries. The enormous quantities of gas in the Troll field started it all. Today, Kollsnes processing plant acts as goes further treatment and is fractioned Troll is the very corner- a centre for processing of gas from the into propane, butane and naphtha. stone of Norwegian Troll, Fram, Visund and Kvitebjørn fields.

Eksempler på storulykker er forbindelse med driften av anleggene på Sture og Kollsnes. omfattende branner, eksplosjoner og utslipp av olje. Stureterminalen og Kollsnes prosessanlegg er to av en rekke større virksomheter i Norge som håndterer kjemiske og brannfarlige stoffer, og som følge av dette er underlagt «Forskrift om tiltak for å avverge storulykker i virksomheter som håndterer farlige stoff» (Storulykkeforskriften). For Stureterminalen og Kollsnes prosessanlegg er det særlig Petroleums-tilsynet (Ptil) som er myndighetene sitt kontrollorgan, og som kontrollerer at Gassco og Equinor følger lover og pålegg relatert til sikkerhet. Også kommunale myndigheter, Kystverket og Direktoratet for samfunnsikkerhet og beredskap er med i dette arbeidet.
