K. Simonov delivers report at 3rd European Gas Conference in Vienna
The 3rd annual meeting of the European Gas Conference has finished in Vienna. During three days participants were discussing important issues and urgent problems of ensuring Europe's energy security, foreign economic policies towards Russia and laying new pipelines for additional gas supplies to the EU. Best energy and economic experts, top managers of major companies operating on the European market, representatives of embassies of the countries interested in a constructive dialogue and finding new partners and supporters traditionally make reports at the Conference.
On January 28, 2010 within the framework of the 3rd European Gas Conference Konstantin Simonov, General Director of the National Energy Security Fund, delivered the report "Russia, the EU and Ukraine: Key Gas Triangle".
Special report:
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.Liquefied Natural Gas Outlook: Expectations and Reality
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.Analytical series “The Fuel and Energy Complex of Russia”:
Oil and Gas Sector Regulation and Interim Results in 2024. Outlook for 2025
A new government was formed in Russia in spring 2024. Sergey Tsivilyov became Energy Minister. The first six months of the new government’s regulation of the fuel and energy sector are already past, which enables drawing the first analytical conclusions. Therefore, interim production results for 2024 have a special place in this research. We analyse the past year in two papers at once, as has become a tradition already. The gas industry is considered in a separate report. Meanwhile, we focus on oil here. The report’s special value lies in the data of our own oil export estimation model.Northern Logistics Route: Should One Expect a Breakthrough?
The Northern Sea Route and the Arctic in general were made a state priority even before the conflict in Ukraine. The key question is: can nice talk about the NSR as a profitable and strategic route and about Russia’s return to the Arctic be converted into actual breakthroughs making it possible to carry out at least the executive’s own plans? The strategic content concerning the NSR is relatively new, but many problems are old.Current Status of Russian Oil Exports
Getting over the 2022-2024 sanctions is the most important test for the Russian oil industry. After the US, United Kingdom, EU, and G7 introduced a ban on buying Russian oil and petroleum products (with some exceptions) and the price cap mechanism, Russia managed to find alternative sale options in countries that are now commonly called the “Global South”. However, it is important to consider exports in detail. This is what we do in the new NESF report.Green and Climate Agenda: Reset Attempt
In spite of dramatic worsening of relations with the West, the subject of climate has not vanished from Russian economic plans. Environmental issues have even topped the list of declared problems.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.All reports for: 2015 , 14 , 13 , 12 , 11 , 10 , 09 , 08 , 07
