Best regards, Evgeniy Bakulin, President of National Joint Stock Company «Naftogaz of Ukraine» INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION In 1959 Ruhrgas AG mixed the German natural gas with coke of own production in Dorsten to meet the peak demand. In 1960, Ruhrgas had 1.6 billion m³ of natural gas under the contract. In 1966, the first Holland natural gas came to the Ruhrgas networks after a significant portion of local gas pipelines, as well as domestic equipment and industrial furnaces started to be reequipped for use of the natural gas. In 1968 Ruhrgas reached the sales of natural gas at the level of 11 billion m³, and next year the share of sales of the natural gas for surpassed that of the sale of the coke gas the first time. In 1973 the first Soviet natural gas went to the Ruhrgas AG in Bavaria. The contracts with Soyuznefteksport dd. 1970, the supply of pipes by Mannesman, the equipment for compressor stations and loan agreement for DM 1.2 billion for construction of Union pipeline were important steps to mitigate the "East-West conflict." Due to the growing demand for natural gas by the industry and the private sector, the Ruhrgas gas network and joint transit projects with the Italian company SNAM (TENP) and French Gaz de France (MEGAL) have been developing rapidly. The imports of natural gas in the Netherlands and the Soviet Union constantly increased. In 1977, the first imported Norwegian natural gas was delivered to the German North Sea coast, and the gas import from Denmark and the UK was started later. In the 1990s and 2000s the acceleration of the rate of movement of natural gas to Europe was observed. The coke gas played only a minor role for some industrial customers. This period was also marked by the increase of European integration and EU enlargement, with simultaneous changes in the regulatory framework of the energy sector, especially in the gas market. These factors, as well as increased competition, have forced all energy companies to take actions to strengthen their positions in this market. In early 2003 Ruhrgas AG became a part of the E.OH group and from July 01, 2004 it has received the name of E.OH Ruhrgas AG. The financial and economic crisis of 2008, oversaturation of the European gas market with liquefied gas and further sharpening of the competition and market liberalization encourages the energy companies to strengthen their competitiveness even after 2015. E.OH group has taken up this challenge at once. The cut in costs, transformation of structures into more compact and efficient ones, and therefore more powerful - all of this led to creation of a program of the group restructuring. In this regard, there also have been significant changes in E.OH Ruhrgas AG. Last year, on the basis of the Third Energy Package of the European Committee, E.OH Ruhrgas sold its gas transportation system. The remaining technical services and professionals were transferred to a subsidiary of E.OH group - E.ON New Build and Technology. In early May the parts of E.OH group, which dealt with gas in Essen and trade in Düsseldorf, moved through the merger to the new company, E.OH Global Commodities CE, based in Düsseldorf, which since the very beginning covered the global markets of the future. I am sure that E.OH Global Commodities CE will have a good international reputation inherited from Ruhrgas, the pioneer and the immediate creator of gas business not only in Germany but also in Europe as a whole. E.OH team remaining in Kyiv as a representative office of E.ON Global Commodities CE continues the scientific and technical cooperation with the Naftogaz of Ukraine National Joint Stock Company and Ukr- Transgas PJSC. Through Oil and Gas Industry of Ukraine magazine, on behalf of E.ON Ruhrgas AG management, my colleagues from Essen and team of the Kyiv office, and from myself personally, I want to thank our Ukrainian colleagues and friends for more than 20 years of hospitality, cooperation, support and many wonderful hours spent together at work and rest! My words of sincere gratitude are addressed first of all to the gas workers in Kyiv on gas pipelines and compressor stations throughout Ukraine for their tireless work to implement the transit commitments. This also applies to the other experts from government agencies, departments, scientific and educational organizations as well as colleagues from the enterprises with which we collaborated, whose services and support played an important role in ensuring the uninterruptable work of our offices for many years and in all weather conditions! I wish good health, professional success and family happiness to the editorial board, authors of articles and readers of Oil and Gas Industry of Ukraine scientific and practical magazine. Dear workers of oil, gas and refining industry! I congratulate you on the New Year and Merry Christmas! I wish you good health, good humor, inspiration, creative success and the delight from hard and dedicated work for the good of the motherland! Let the New Year bring you hope and faith in realization of all your plans and expectations, confidence in the future, and add strength for the new professional achievements. Let the bright holiday of Christmas fill your soul with good things and love and inspires for noble causes! I wish you happiness, prosperity and implementation of your most cherished dreams!
