Government regulation of the oil and gas industry in 2007 and future considerations for 2008

Government regulation of the oil and gas industry in 2007 and future considerations for 2008

By longstanding tradition, at the end of each year the National Energy Security Fund draws results of the Russian fuel and energy industry. We focus on political influence on the industry. Clashes between power cliques for oil and gas property escalate ahead of the presidential election. Political future of the country is not quite certain, which encourages Kremlin’s powerhouses fight for assets. State management of the industry is changing.

The study dwells on the following subjects:

Winners and losers of the year
- Companies and their heads that have boosted their influence on the industry and fading stars
- Standoff between Gazprom and Rosneft, establishment of the “exporters group,” the fate of the last standing private oil and gas corporations.
- Future development of medium and small size oil and gas firms.
Transformation of oil and gas management system
- Administrative reform and the fate of the governmental services in charge of oil and gas
- Rotations and structural changes in the government’s oil&gas-regulating services.
Tax regime for oil and gas companies
- The first experience of differentiated mining tax and other economic innovations.
Foreign companies in the Russian oil and gas industry
- Reasons for success of some of them and failures of the others
- Shtokman against Kovykta
Pipeline wars and new export projects
- Escalating competition for Central Asia and the Caspian Region
- Obstacles on the way of direct hydrocarbon supplies to Europe
- Competition for transit in the former Soviet republics
Forecast for 2008
:
- New Putin’s energy project
- Possibility of a new wave of property redistribution
- New system of political management in the oil and gas industry

Liquefied Natural Gas Outlook: Expectations and Reality

Analytical series “The Fuel and Energy Complex of Russia”:

State regulation in the oil and gas sector in 2011 and prospects for 2012

The year 2011 turned out to be rather contradictory for the oil and gas industry. On one side, preliminary results of basic parameters seem quite satisfactory. On the other side, the depletion of oil production growth potential is becoming more obvious. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin several times mentioned that the oil industry reached its peak. This was described as an ordinary event, although in reality it reflects recognition of strategic mistakes once made.

The Present and Future of Gazprom

Gazprom’s 2010-2011 financial results were phenomenal. An employment contract of Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller, who has been managing the gas giant for 10 years, was prolonged ahead of time for another five years. However, the country’s main company found itself under powerful pressure both on the domestic and external markets.

State management in the oil and gas sector: Last autumn of current political cycle

The main political intrigue of the upcoming election cycle would seem to be over. Vladimir Putin is set to return to the president’s office, while Dmitry Medvedev is to chair the Cabinet. But in reality, everything is just about to begin. Some scenarios of reformatting Russian state authorities are indeed ruled out. Yet, there are many unclear things, including the question of the oil and gas sector management. Changes in the system are unavoidable. There is temptation to fix the rules of the game for the next six years, which adds a special connotation to the upcoming transformation.

Central Asia and Caspian Region: Problems of Development and Transportation of Hydrocarbons

Despite problems related to signing contracts on purchasing gas from the Caspian region countries, the European Commission is fully determined to implement Southern Corridor projects to reduce dependence on Russia. In its turn, Moscow keeps steadily promoting its alternative South Stream project. But the price of the question puts both sides into a difficult position.

Export Strategy of Russia’s Oil and Gas Sector

In 2010 the Russian oil industry set an absolute record in terms of production. An oil pipeline to China has been launched this year expanding our potential of oil supplies to Asia. Diversification of export routes seemed to be quite a reasonable strategy on the background of growing production. However, there are certain factors that should be taken into account.
