US GAAP CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AUDITOR’S REPORT. SUPPLEMENT 2. RAS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AUDITOR’S REPORT 208 CONTENTS Dear Shareholders! Gazprom as a global energy company pays serious attention to the development of its oil business. A good case in point was the decision by Gazprom to exercise the purchase option for a 20% interest in Gazprom Neft in April 2009 with the result that our stake in this critical oil asset of Gazprom Group has increased to 95.68%. In 2008 Gazprom Neft methodically strengthened its positions in the traditional Russian oil and petroleum product markets. The Company began the implementation of new large-scale projects associated with the sales of lubricants as well as fuel for aviation, marine and river transport. Considerable attention was given to supporting research developments and improvement of oil exploration and production technologies. The reporting period saw a milestone event for Gazprom – in December 2008 Gazprom Neft and the Government of Serbia signed an agreement for the purchase of a 51% interest in Serbian oil company NIS – one of the largest in Central Europe. In February 2009 the deal was closed. Thus we laid a solid foundation for the development of Gazprom Neft at the international level. The stable position of JSC Gazprom Neft n the Russian oil industry, entry of the company into the world market, effective corporate governance measures – all this shows a powerful production potential of Gazprom Group in the oil sphere. MILLER A.B. Chairman of the Management Board, JSC Gazprom, Chairman of the Board of Directors, JSC Gazprom Neft ANNUAL REPORT JJSCSC GGAZPROMAZPROM NEFTNEFT 22008008 1 2008 was very eventful and successful for the Company. Over the past year Gazprom Neft made a big step forward and continued its successful development as part of Gazprom Group. Today we are confident to say that Gazprom Neft is one of the leaders of the Russian oil industry. The Company has increased its reserves, the acquisition of a stake in Tomskneft has allowed production growth, the volume of oil refining and petroleum product sales has been up as well. Our subsidiaries – Gazpromneft-Aero, Gazpromneft-Lubricants, Gazprom Neft Marine Bunker and Gazpromneft-Nefterservice have been growing rapidly to become important players in the relevant markets. We have shown good financial results attributable not only to the market environment but also to the implementation of measures designed to enhance the Company’s efficiency. And I have no doubts that our successful results of 2008 will become a springboard for Gazprom Neft’s effective development in the following difficult period. We are moving steadily towards achievement of the ambitious goals set out in Gazprom Neft’s Development Strategy until 2020. In the future we see Gazprom Neft as a global player of the world fuel market. Already now we are laying the basis for our international business. Last year was a signature one in this respect: we successfully completed talks with the Serbian Government on the acquisition of a 51% interest in oil company NIS. Now it is the largest foreign asset not only of Gazprom Neft but of all Gazprom Group. However we will have to deal with the difficult challenges of improving the acquired asset management system and of new asset modernization. A young, vibrant, rapidly growing company in the oil industry market – such experts’ take on Gazprom Neft is without question something to be proud of. Our strongest advantages are – an effective governance system, a young management team capable of getting the right result. In the coming years we will receive invaluable experience of working in difficult economic conditions, however, I am confident we will overcome the crisis to become even stronger.

NUM.: 2.801.709 Albania Has there been any research, exploration and/or exploitation activity in the last 10 years? Which companies are active in the upstream activity? Albania has many mineral resources, most notably: copper, iron-nickel and coal, as well as petroleum. There is located one of the largest onshore oil fields in Europe: Patos-Marinza, for which an increasing number of international oil companies today are securing oil prospecting licenses. Over the last decade, the country has awarded drilling licenses to a number of American, Austrian, Canadian, Croatian, Greek, and Swedish companies, and an increasing number of international companies are now seeking prospecting licenses. This has led to a growing workforce and an influx of investment in the oil, mining and gas sectors, which provides optimism for a long term recovery in the extractive industries. In the areas of exploration foreign companies prevail and operate on the basis of PSCs entered into with the Albanian state. In addition to minerals, Albania also holds considerable oil and natural gas, and the government is currently in the process of promoting increased production to international oil and gas firms in the wake of its program of privatization.

  • Poisoned by Gas: Institutional Failure, Energy Dependency, and Security
    POISONED BY GAS: INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE, ENERGY DEPENDENCY, AND SECURITY EMILY J. HOLLAND SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 EMILY J. HOLLAND ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT POISONED BY GAS: INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE, ENERGY DEPENDENCY, AND SECURITY EMILY J. HOLLAND Many states lack domestic access to crucial energy supplies and must deal with the challenge of formulating an energy security policy that informs their relations with energy producing states. While secure and uninterrupted access to energy is crucial to state security and welfare, some states fail to implement energy security policies and remain dangerously dependent on a foreign supplier. In the post-Soviet region many states even actively resist attempts by the European Union and others to diversify their supplies. Why and under what conditions do states pursue energy security? Conversely, why do some highly dependent states fail to maximize their security vis-à-vis a dominant supplier? I argue that that to understand the complex nature of energy dependence and security it is necessary to look beyond energy markets to domestic political capture and institutional design. More specifically, I argue that initial reform choices guiding transition had long-lasting affects on the ability to make coherent policy choices. States that did not move away from Soviet era property rights empowered actors with an interest in maintaining the status quo of dependence. Others that instituted de facto democratic property rights to guide their energy transitions were able to block energy veto players and move towards a security maximizing diversification policy.
