We organize our work with the view to balance these priorities. Gazprom’s reliable energy supplies give a powerful impetus to regional development across Russia. Making a flexible response to mounting demand, we increased natural gas production to 472.11 billion cubic meters in 2017, up 12.4% from the previous year. It was the most impressive yearly production growth in the Company’s history. Moreover, with 194.4 billion cubic meters of overseas gas exports, Gazprom set a new record. And we are determined to make sure that both current and future generations have access to those valuable resources. To that end, for 13 years running, through our exploration efforts, we have maintained incremental reserves which are consistently above production. In 2017, Gazprom’s gas reserves added 852.9 billion cubic meters. 1 Including the Group’s share in the production volumes of the entities in which Gazprom has made investments classified as joint operations. 4 KEEPING THE BALANCE: PRODUCTION.

  • China's Dependence Upon Oil Supply: Part 1
    PART 1 1 CHINA’S DEPENDENCE UPON OIL SUPPLY PART 1 of 3 SERIALIZED STUDY BY – CAPT David L.O. Hayward Australian Army Reserve (Retd.) First published as an RUSI Defence Research Paper & republished as a SAGE International Special Study with the kind permission of CAPT David L.O. Hayward 2012 PART 1 2 “War which has undergone the changes of modern technology and the market system will be launched even more in atypical forms. In other words, while we are seeing a relative reduction in military violence, at the same time we definitely are seeing an increase in political, economic, and technological violence. However, regardless of the form the violence takes, war is war, and a change in the external appearance does not keep any war from abiding by the principles of war.” The above quote is from the book Unrestricted Warfare jointly written by two People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Colonels, namely Qaio Liang and Wang Xiangsui. The book was published in Beijing in early 1999. In the twelve years since it was unveiled to the West, the work has largely been dismissed as unlikely wishful thinking on the part of the authors. The book is not representative of PLA military philosophy or official policy. As recently as 2008, discussions held at the Pentagon in strategic-level war games were dismissive of Chinese capability and intent in the cyber realm.

  • Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R
    STUDIA FORESTALIA SUECICA NR 39 1966 Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. An Analysis of Soviet Competitive Potentialities Skogsekonomi i Sovjet~rnionen rned en unalys av landets potentiella konkurrenskraft by KARL VIICTOR ALGTTERE SICOGSH~GSICOLAN ROYAL COLLEGE OF FORESTRY STOCKHOLM Lord Keynes on the role of the economist: "He must study the present in the light of the past for the purpose of the future." Printed in Sweden by ESSELTE AB STOCKHOLM Foreword Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. is a special study of the forestry sector of the Soviet economy. As such it makes a further contribution to the studies undertaken in recent years to elucidate the means and ends in Soviet planning; also it attempts to assess the competitive potentialities of the U.S.S.R. in international trade. Soviet studies now command a very great interest and are being undertaken at some twenty universities and research institutes mainly in the United States, the United Kingdoin and the German Federal Republic. However, it would seem that the study of the development of the forestry sector has riot received the detailed attention given to other fields. In any case, there have not been any analytical studies published to date elucidating fully the connection between forestry and the forest industries and the integration of both in the economy as a whole. Studies of specific sections have appeared from time to time, but I have no knowledge of any previous study which gives a complete picture of the Soviet forest economy and which could faci- litate the marketing policies of the western world, being undertaken at any university or college.

  • Master Thesis Msc. International Business & Management Industry
    Master thesis MSc. International Business & Management Industry effects in state-owned enterprise internationalization: ‘A study on state-owned Russian oil and gas firms’ By D.J. Niekel S3838986 [email protected] University of Groningen Faculty of Economics and Business June, 2020 14,902 Supervisor: Dr. O. Lindahl Co-assessor: Prof. Dr. H.J Drogendijk 1 ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to explore which factors influence Russian oil and gas state-owned enterprises (O&G SOEs) to internationalize. While SOE internationalization, in general, has been studied frequently, the role of industry effects in this process has been largely ignored. This thesis seeks to contribute to filling this gap by focusing on SOEs from one country and industry, namely Russian O&G. The O&G industry are considered unique, in part because of their strategic nature. This gives reason to believe that O&G SOEs have other, additional factors influencing their internationalization. These unique influencing factors are more likely to be identified thru studying Russian O&G SOEs, since they are considered extreme cases. Thus, to fulfill its purpose, this thesis conducted a dual-case study on two large Russian O&G SOEs. Eight managers, four from each SOE, were interviewed about their experiences with O&G SOE internationalization. Additionally, nine annual reports (2010-2018) from both case companies were analyzed to complement, and strengthen, the interview data. From this data eight influencing factors were identified, of which three are already discussed in the extant literature. Denoting that this thesis has identified five new influencing factors, which are: importance to the governmental budget, long-term view of the controlling shareholder, inter- government tie strength, discrimination in the host country, and home government foreign policy goals.

Bouffard, B.A. A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Arctic and Northern Studies © Troy J. Bouffard APPROVED: Brandon M. Boylan, Committee Chair Mary F. Ehrlander, Committee Member Brian Kassof, Committee Member Mary F. Ehrlander, Director Arctic and Northern Studies Program Todd Sherman, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts Michael A. Castellini, Interim Dean Graduate School Abstract As Arctic environmental conditions fluctuate, ongoing economic-related agreements established for the Barents Region continue to support and attract Norwegian and Russian oil- producing expeditions within the shared maritime zone. Increased industrial activity throughout the Circumpolar North heightens the need to understand the factors that influence policies responsible for protecting the environment - in particular, preventive measures. Agency theory provides the framework for an analysis of various dynamics that influence the Norwegian and Russian governments (principals) as they develop and enforce rules that regulate petroleum industries (agents). The research question asks about differences between the prevention policies of the two nations even though both acknowledge a very similar need to protect the Barents. Since the regulatory and governance structures cannot fully explain the differences between the two countries’ prevention policies, the hypothesis presents an argument that the strategic goals of Norway and Russia in the global political economy provide sufficient conditions for policy divergence.
