  • Caspian Oil and Gas Complements Other IEA Studies of Major Supply Regions, Such As Middle East Oil and Gas and North African Oil and Gas
    3 FOREWORD The Caspian region contains some of the largest undeveloped oil and gas reserves in the world. The intense interest shown by the major international oil and gas companies testifies to its potential. Although the area is unlikely to become “another Middle East”, it could become a major oil supplier at the margin, much as the North Sea is today. As such it could help increase world energy security by diversifying global sources of supply. Development of the region’s resources still faces considerable obstacles. These include lack of export pipelines and the fact that most new pipeline proposals face routing difficulties due to security of supply considerations,transit complications and market uncertainties. There are also questions regarding ownership of resources, as well as incomplete and often contradictory investment regimes. This study is an independent review of the major issues facing oil and gas sector developments in the countries along the southern rim of the former Soviet Union that are endowed with significant petroleum resources: Azerbaijan, Kazakstan,Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Caspian Oil and Gas complements other IEA studies of major supply regions, such as Middle East Oil and Gas and North African Oil and Gas. It also expands on other IEA studies of the area, including Energy Policies of the Russian Federation and Energy Policies of Ukraine. The study was undertaken with the co-operation of the Energy Charter Secretariat, for which I would like to thank its Secretary General, Mr. Peter Schütterle. Robert Priddle Executive Director 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The IEA wishes to acknowledge the very helpful co-operation of the Energy Charter Secretariat, with special thanks to Marat Malataev, Temuri Japaridze, Khamidulah Shamsiev and Galina Romanova.

  • Argus Nefte Transport
    Argus Nefte Transport Oil transportation logistics in the former Soviet Union Volume XVI, 5, May 2017 Primorsk loads first 100,000t diesel cargo Russia’s main outlet for 10ppm diesel exports, the Baltic port of Primorsk, shipped a 100,000t cargo for the first time this month. The diesel was loaded on 4 May on the 113,300t Dong-A Thetis, owned by the South Korean shipping company Dong-A Tanker. The 100,000t cargo of Rosneft product was sold to trading company Vitol for delivery to the Amsterdam-Rotter- dam-Antwerp region, a market participant says. The Dong-A Thetis was loaded at Russian pipeline crude exports berth 3 or 4 — which can handle crude and diesel following a recent upgrade, and mn b/d can accommodate 90,000-150,000t vessels with 15.5m draught. 6.0 Transit crude Russian crude It remains unclear whether larger loadings at Primorsk will become a regular 5.0 occurrence. “Smaller 50,000-60,000t cargoes are more popular and the terminal 4.0 does not always have the opportunity to stockpile larger quantities of diesel for 3.0 export,” a source familiar with operations at the outlet says. But the loading is significant considering the planned 10mn t/yr capacity 2.0 addition to the 15mn t/yr Sever diesel pipeline by 2018.

The International Transport Forum The International Transport Forum is an intergovernmental organisation with 62 member countries. It acts as a think tank for transport policy and organises the Annual Summit of transport ministers. ITF is the only global body that covers all transport modes. The ITF is politically autonomous and administratively integrated with the OECD. The ITF works for transport policies that improve peoples’ lives. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the role of transport in economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion and to raise the public profile of transport policy. The ITF organises global dialogue for better transport. We act as a platform for discussion and pre- negotiation of policy issues across all transport modes. We analyse trends, share knowledge and promote exchange among transport decision-makers and civil society. The ITF’s Annual Summit is the world’s largest gathering of transport ministers and the leading global platform for dialogue on transport policy.

  • Chapter 4. Oil and Gas Accidents – Prevention and Liquidation
    Chapter 4. Oil and gas accidents – prevention and liquidation. In this chapter we take a theoretical approach towards accidents and incidents. This reason is twofold: In Soviet times, statistics were often used as political tools, and this makes it difficult to make a completely reliable analysis. To a certain extent, this legacy still applies to Russia today. We are therefore careful not to use too many official statistics. Secondly, there is still little offshore activity in Arctic waters, thus limiting the amount of empiric data available. Nonetheless, in this chapter we examine some accidents which occurred in the Arctic, such as the Usinsk oil spill in 1994 . This chapter also describes the emergency rescue routines in Murmansk oblast, together with regulations for emergency preparedness and response for the oil and gas sector. All the information presented in this chapter is accompanied by reference data, opinions from specialists, legal notes and illustrations. Several situations are examined using Murmansk oblast as an example. 4.1. Accidents and incidents: causes and consequences Here’s a thought… Oleg Mitvol, deputy director of the Russian federal service managing the oversight of natural resources (Rosprirodnadzor) said in an interview that spills of oil and other oil products take place every two weeks in Russia, RBC Daily Russian news agency reported in September 2005. According to RBC, Russian experts estimate that 3-7 per cent of all extracted oil is lost during extraction and transportation. The official numbers are much lower. 4,1,1 Accidents involving oil pipelines In 2003, according to data from Russia’s Ministry of Civil Defence, Emergencies and Disaster Relief, there were 48 accidents on main and intrafield pipelines which led to emergency situations (compared with 55 in 2002).1 However, other sources states that the number of accidents involving oil pipelines has increased by 20% over the course of several years.
