Vladimir Putin, The data in this report on fl aring reduction by oil and gas Meeting of the Commission for Strategic companies show that achieving the target will remain a Development of the Fuel and Energy challenge in the coming years. Sector and Environmental Security, According to the Russian Energy Ministry, recent years have 1 October 23, 2012 seen an increase in associated gas production in Russian and a stable associated gas utilization rate (75.4% in 2011)2. However, recording and reporting still need improving, and data from different sources may differ signifi cantly. The World Bank reports that global gas fl aring increased by 2 billion cubic metres in 2011 to 140 billion cubic metres, equal to 360 million tons of greenhouse gases 3. Satellite data show that the increase in gas fl aring in 2011 is due to increased hydrocarbon production in Russia and shale oil and gas operations in the US state of North Dakota. Russia still tops the world’s fl aring countries, followed by Nigeria, Iran, Iraq and the USA. The satellite estimates also show that Nigeria, Algeria, Mexico and Qatar are making some progress in fl aring reduction. The global effort to track progress on fl aring reduction has been complicated by inconsistent data. 1 Offi cial website of the President of Russia http://eng.kremlin.ru/news/4553 2 Offi cial website of the Russian Energy Ministry, http://minenergo.gov.ru/ activity/oilgas/state_oil_industry_in_2009.php 3 The World Bank’s offi cial website, http://www.worldbank.org/en/ news/2012/07/03/world-bank-sees-warning-sign-gas-fl aring-increase 6 | Associated Gas Utilization in Russia: Issues and Prospects 1. 1.1. Global gas fl aring Associated gas Associated gas fl aring is a global problem, so reliable, transparent and regular recording and reporting of associated production and fl aring gas production and fl aring volumes is important at both national in 2011 and global level. However, tracking progress on fl aring reduction is often complicated by inconsistent and unreliable data. The use of satellite data, making it possible to overcome a wide range of problems, has made it easier to estimate global fl aring volumes. To improve the reliability and consistency of global gas fl aring data and perform regular global monitoring of gas fl aring using consistent methods, the World Bank-led Global Gas Flaring Reduction partnership (GGFR) together with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) use satellite data to estimate fl aring volumes. According to the latest data, global fl aring overall increased from 138 billion cubic metres in 2010 to 140 billion cubic metres in 2011, equal to 360 million tons of greenhouse gases or the emissions from roughly 70 million cars4. This increase of 2 billion cubic metres is due largely to increased hydrocarbon production in Russia and shale oil and gas operations in the US state of North Dakota. In the past fi ve years, global fl aring overall has decreased signifi cantly, from 154 billion cubic metres in 2007 to 140 billion cubic metres in 2011. However, it has increased in some countries (Iran, Iraq, the USA, Angola, Venezuela, Canada and Egypt). 4 The World Bank’s offi cial website, http://www.worldbank.org/en/ news/2012/07/03/world-bank-sees-warning-sign-gas-fl aring-increase 1.

The fact that the global fl aring level remains high making continuous progress in fl aring reduction. shows that efforts to reduce fl aring need to be sustained and even scaled up. Russia still tops the world’s fl aring countries, followed by Nigeria, Iran, Iraq and the USA. Its share of the global total in 2011 rose to 26.7%, compared to 26.3% in 2010.5 2.

Associated gas fl aring in Russia According to the Energy Ministry, oil production in Russia Every year since 2009, as part of a public campaign for fl aring increased by 6.3 million tonnes (1.2%) to 511.4 million tonnes reduction to be accelerated, WWF Russia has asked the in 2011. One reason for this is the continued development of leading oil and gas companies operating in Russia for data on fi elds in Eastern Siberia and the corresponding increase in their associated gas production and fl aring. Notably, more and production. The utilization rate was practically unchanged, more companies are disclosing such data every year, showing at about 75.4% in 20116.

Russia's oil sector accounts for a significant percentage of the country's GDP and is a major source of both foreign exchange earnings and fiscal receipts. Russia's oil resources are immense and opportunities for the sector to contribute to economic revitalization, even in the short to medium term, are substantial. Over the past six to eight years, however, the sector has performed well below potential. Production has declined at rates of up to 15 percent annually, or one Public Disclosure Authorized million barrels per day per year. 2. These dramatic declines are attributable to a number of factors, including: (a) sub-optimal technology and reservoir management; (b) distorted incentives and inefficiencies attributable to years of central planning and control; (c) a breakdown in traditional equipment supply arrangements; (d) rapid natural production declines in the old oil fields which have accounted for the bulk of Russia's production to date; and (e) lack of finance to perform required maintenance and well rehabilitation operations and/or develop new oil fields.

  • The East Siberia/Pacific Ocean (ESPO) Oil Pipeline: a Strategic Project – an Organisational Failure? N T a R Y M E Wojciech Konończuk C E S C O M
    ces Commentary i s s u e 2 | 2 2 . 0 . 2 0 0 8 | c e ntr e f or e A s T e rn s T u d i e s The East Siberia/Pacific Ocean (ESPO) oil pipeline: a strategic project – an organisational failure? N T A R y M e Wojciech Konończuk c e s c O M The East Siberia/Pacific Ocean (ESPO) oil pipeline is currently the most important and expensive investment in the Russian energy sector. Although this Far Eastern pipeline is rarely mentioned in the European media, this t u d i e s is a strategic project for Russia and is far more significant than other s widely publicised energy projects such as the North Stream Pipeline. On one hand, the new oil pipeline is expected to trigger the development a s t e r n of oilfields in East Siberia, which is planned to become a key oil production e centre for Russia in the future, especially in the face of decreasing pro- duction volumes in western Siberia. This grand infrastructural project is thus expected to be a catalyst for development of the entire Far Eastern e n t r e f o r c region. On the other hand, the ESPO is intended to diversify Russian oil and gas exports by increasing Russia’s presence on Asian markets, so that Europe is no longer the monopolistic consumer of Russian energy reso- urces. Moreover, the ESPO construction’s unusually high costs seem to N T A R y suggest that economic reasons are not the only ones which have brought M e about the practical implementation of the project.

  • 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.
