Gazprom Export, a 100% subsidiary of Gazprom PJSC, is one of Russia’s most successful and advanced companies. The company is charged with a task to export Russian gas to foreign markets. The company contributes significantly to the Russian federal budget revenues and the energy security of Europe. In 2017, natural gas exports to the Far Abroad countries under the contracts of Gazprom Export amounted to 192.2 bcm. RUSSIAN GAS AND EUROPE The total length of gas trunk pipelines and transmission network branches has reached 172,000 km. Gas transport Russia possesses 6.1% of the global proven oil utilizes 254 linear compressor stations with a total gas reserves, 17.6% of coal reserves, and 25% of natural pumping capacity of 46,700 MW. Gazprom operates 22 gas reserves. The European energy mix is expected to underground gas storages which include 26 gas storage follow increase in the share of gas and renewables, amid facilities and seven gas processing plants in Russia. continuing decline of the share of oil and coal. Since Europe’s limited domestic gas reserves and decline in indigenous domestic production of natural gas, the European countries will have to import more gas from the third countries. Gazprom Export is ready to make its contribution to meet the demand of European consumers by drawing on the huge potential of the Russian natural gas industry. GAS RESERVES OF RUSSIA AND GAZPROM Gazprom Export’s global market positions are backed by the gas reserves owned by Gazprom. Gazprom holds the world’s largest natural gas reserves. Its share in the global reserves is around 17%, and in the Russian reserves – about 72%. PROFILE: GAZPROM EXPORT Gazprom is responsible for around two-thirds of World’s largest exporter of natural gas Russia’s total gas production. In 2017, Gazprom Group enterprises produced 471 bcm of natural gas. 2 3 COMPANY HISTORY Stages of a great journey: Gazprom Export LLC In 2006, in accordance with a decision of its founder and owner, 2006 - до н.в.

  • The Emerging Caspian Energy Regime and Turkey's New Role
    THE EMERGING CASPIAN ENERGY REGIME AND TURKEY'S NEW ROLE MERT BILGIN ABSTRACT Soon after the disintegration of the USSR, Turkey attempted to take place at the heart of the emerging energy regime of the Caspian by becoming an energy corridor that could ünite the Caspian with the World markets. Nevertheless, Russia and Iran started to become profitable associates not only for Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Türkmenistan but also for the multinational companies. In 2003, it became explicit that Turkey's common projects with Kazakhstan and Türkmenistan were either canceled or postponed. Turkey is likely to realize Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline project and Baku-Erzurum gas pipeline project. Turkey needs to develop a multilateral cooperation vvhich includes Russia and other littoral states of the Caspian. Otherwise, Turkey's role in the Caspian region will be limited by bilateral relations with Azerbaijan. KEYWORDS Oil, Gas, Pipeline Politics, Caspian Energy Regime, Caucasus. 2 THE TURKİSH YEARBOOK [VOL. XXXIV Introduction The disintegration of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1991 introduced Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Türkmenistan (AKT) as the new hydrocarbon producers of the Caspian Sea. These three republics had once been important producers of hydrocarbons during the Soviet era until the exhaustion of onshore reserves in the first half of 1980s. Soon after gaining their independence, the exploration activities of multinational companies indicated that there were rich reserves of hydrocarbons in deeper sections of the Caspian, which remained undiscovered by the Soviet authorities because of technological inferiority of the Soviet petroleum industry. Currently it is estimated that the hydrocarbon reserves of Caspian may reach 200 billion barrels of oil and 337 trillion cubic feet of gas.

Recent events have again demonstrated the importance of reliable transit both for oil and for gas, and it is therefore vital to minimise the risks that can affect cross-border energy supply and energy flows in transit. This is a particularly sensitive issue in Eurasia, where oil and gas supplies often cross multiple national boundaries and jurisdictions on their way from producer to consumer.

  • Russia Background
    ‹ Countries Russia Last Updated: September 18, 2012 full report Background Russia holds the world's largest natural gas reserves, the second-largest coal reserves, and the ninth-largest crude oil reserves. Russia is a major producer and exporter of oil and natural gas and its economy largely depends on energy exports. Russia's economic growth continues to be driven by energy exports given its high oil and gas production and the elevated prices for those commodities. Internally, Russia gets over half of its domestic energy needs from natural gas. Russia was the world's second-largest producer of oil (after Saudi Arabia) and the second- largest producer of natural gas in 2011 (second to the United States). However, preliminary data through June 2012 indicate that Russia had surpassed Saudi Arabia as the top crude oil producer in four out of the six months. Russia's oil and gas sector continues to be affected by high taxes and export duties. While export duties for crude oil and petroleum products were lowered to 60 and 65 percent, respectively, in 2011, producers still face high mineral extraction taxes and a revenue-based tax system. Oil Russia was the second-largest producer of total petroleum liquids in 2011, second only to Saudi Arabia. During the year, production averaged more than 10 million bbl/d. Russia's proven oil reserves were 60 billion barrels as of January 2012, according to the Oil and Gas Journal. Most of Russia's resources are located in Western Siberia, between the Ural Mountains and the Central Siberian Plateau and in the Volga-Urals region, extending into the Caspian Sea.

These papers are either preliminary studies that later become papers published by SWP or papers that are published elsewhere. Your comments are always welcome. Roland Götz Russia and the Energy Supply of Europe The Russian Energy Strategy to 2020 (updated version) In discussing the energy relations between Europe1 and Russia, the forecasts of the EU as well as the Russian Energy Strategy may serve as starting points. The Russian Energy Strategy for the period until 2020, approved by the Russian government in 2003, replaces a similar docu- ment from 1995.2 However, the new Energy Strategy is more than just a future projection of current trends. It is meant to set the course for Russia's energy policy and to serve as a guide- line of the administration's energy policy in the predictable future, although it does not have a binding character. The Strategy proceeds from certain assumptions concerning the economic development of the world economy and the Russian economic development until 2020. An "optimistic" scenario presumes that, due to far reaching reforms and a favourable external economic environment and in particular to a growth of the world economy of 3.5 percent per annum, the gross do- mestic product (GDP) of Russia will triple between 2020 and 2000.

  • Country Analysis Brief: Russia
    Country Analysis Brief: Russia Last Updated: October 25, 2016 Overview Russia is the world’s largest producer of crude oil (including lease condensate) and the second- largest producer of dry natural gas. Russia also produces significant amounts of coal. Russia’s economy is highly dependent on its hydrocarbons, and oil and natural gas revenues account for more than 40% of the federal budget revenues. Russia is a major producer and exporter of oil and natural gas. Russia’s economic growth is driven by energy exports, given its high oil and natural gas production. Oil and natural gas revenues accounted for 43% of Russia's federal budget revenues in 2015.1 Russia was the world’s largest producer of crude oil including lease condensate and the third- largest producer of petroleum and other liquids (after Saudi Arabia and the United States) in 2015, with average liquids production of 11.0 million barrels per day (b/d). Russia was the second-largest producer of dry natural gas in 2015 (second to the United States), producing 22.4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), according to Russian Energy Ministry data.2 Russia and Europe are interdependent in terms of energy. Europe is dependent on Russia as a source of supply for both oil and natural gas, with almost 30% of European Union crude imports and more than 30% of natural gas imports coming from Russia in 2015. Russia is dependent on Europe as a market for its oil and natural gas and the revenues those exports generate. In 2015, almost 60% of Russia’s crude exports and more than 75% of Russia’s natural gas exports went to Europe.3 Russia is the third-largest generator of nuclear power in the world and has the fifth-largest installed nuclear capacity.
