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

Nord Stream 2 and Ukraine: Costs Should Decide

There has been much discussion about how Russia – Europe’s biggest gas supplier – can continue to supply gas to Europe over the coming decades in the most secure and cost efficient way. Gazprom and its European partners have decided that building two additional pipelines through the Baltic Sea (Nord Stream 2) is the best commercial solution to secure future gas supplies for the EU, where gas production continues to decline and demand is expected to grow.

Shale Revolution: Myths and Realities

The boom in shale gas production in the US and its wide-ranging influence on markets rocked the gas world. Liquefied gas deliveries were redirected, altering the already fragile balance of demand and supply in traditional markets for pipeline gas in Europe.

World market has shown interest to liquefied gas. Russia has so far been aside of it. However, producers have announced several large LNG projects. The new study will help investigate this delicate subject and understand what is in store for LNG production and export in the nearest years.

Government 2024: New Configuration of Regulators

While the result of the presidential election in Russia was absolutely predictable, further moves forming new government agencies were more intriguing. Eventually, on the one hand, it would seem that Putin chose to avoid radical decisions on the civilian part of the Cabinet. Prime Minister Mishustin kept his post and almost all deputy prime ministers did. On the other, there are still meaningful changes. First of all, the Ministry of Energy got a new head. This alone deserves special attention.

Lithium: New Energy Eldorado?

The energy transition is, on the one hand, rightly perceived by Russian oil and gas companies as a threat to their business. On the other, one should also look for new opportunities in the new energy industry. One of them is the production of lithium, the most important resource for electric vehicle batteries. The industry is rapidly growing, which opens up new horizons, for conventional fuel and energy companies, among others. Lithium is already beginning to cause increased interest in Russia, which calls for close scrutiny of the topic.

State regulation of the oil and gas sector in 2023, 2024 outlook

The year 2023 posed a serious challenge to the Russian oil and gas sector that was subjected to extremely tough sanctions that could have led to collapse in exports of crude oil and petroleum products. The oil industry and corresponding regulatory mechanisms were tested throughout the year. The state, being in dire need of financial resources, had to save the chicken that lays golden eggs. How well is it coping with this task?
