Russian Oil and Gas Challenges
Order Code RL33212 Russian Oil and Gas Challenges Updated June 20, 2007 Robert Pirog Specialist in Energy Economics and Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Russian Oil and Gas Challenges Summary Russia is a major player in world energy markets. It has more proven natural gas reserves than any other country, is among the top ten in proven oil reserves, is the largest exporter of natural gas, the second largest oil exporter, and the third largest energy consumer. Energy exports have been a major driver of Russia’s economic growth over the last five years, as Russian oil production has risen strongly and world oil prices have been very high. This type of growth has made the Russian economy dependent on oil and natural gas exports and vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices. The Russian government has moved to take control of the country’s energy supplies. It broke up the previously large energy company Yukos and acquired its main oil production subsidiary. The Duma voted to give Gazprom, the state- controlled natural gas monopoly the exclusive right to export natural gas; Russia moved to limit participation by foreign companies in oil and gas production and Gazprom gained majority control of the Sakhalin energy projects. Russia has agreed with Germany to supply Germany and, eventually, the UK by building a natural gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea, bypassing Ukraine and Poland. In late 2006 and early 2007, Russia cut off and/or threatened to cut off gas or oil supplies going to and/or through Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and Belarus in the context of price and/or transit negotiations — actions that damaged its reputation as a reliable energy supplier. -

Offshore Wind Operations & Maintenance a £9 Billion Per
OFFSHORE WIND OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE A £9 BILLION PER YEAR OPPORTUNITY BY 2O3O FOR THE UK TO SEIZE OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE SUMMARY New data compiled by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult reveals the UK offshore wind operations & maintenance (O&M) market will grow faster in relative terms than any other offshore wind sub sector market over the next decade. By 2O3O, it will be the UK’s second largest sub sector market after turbine supply: a projected £1.3 billion per year opportunity. The Rest of the World (excluding UK) offshore wind O&M market opportunity is even greater. We project it will be valued at £7.6 billion per year by 2030. To discuss commercial dynamics in offshore wind O&M, we conducted an interview with energy industry leader Sir Ian Wood, which is summarised below. His comments highlight that offshore wind O&M is an area that plays to the UK’s existing strengths in offshore oil and gas services and associated technologies. O&M already has the highest level of UK content of any part of the offshore wind supply chain. In short, there is a sizable opportunity for the UK to create internationally significant service businesses in offshore wind O&M, learning from experience from the North Sea oil and gas industry. We already have the vital elements to capture this opportunity but investment in infrastructure to create the environment for collaborative development and demonstration of the enabling technologies and services is required. DEFINING OFFSHORE WIND O&M A clear definition of offshore wind O&M comes from a report published by GL Garrad Hassan: Offshore wind O&M is the activity that follows commissioning to ensure the safe and economic running of the project. -

Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted. -
