What happened to Russian gas supplies to Europe in 2017?

Russian gas supplies to Europe reached record levels for the entire history. It is reported by the press service of the European Commission. According to the latest data, growth in 2017 was 12%, as evidenced by the monitoring of the European gas market.

Despite numerous anti-Russian attacks, Europeans are interested in a stable supply of "blue fuel" and are well aware that the "pipe" gas from Russia today cannot be replaced by any other, especially American liquefied.

To date, the share of Russian gas in the European market has reached 43%. At the same time, more than a third of gas from Russia to Europe in the 4 quarter of 2017 of the year was delivered via the Nord Stream gas pipeline (approximately 34%). The increase in the supply of "SP" amounted to about 30% compared to 2016 year, which is associated with a decrease in gas transit volumes through the Ukrainian gas transportation system in the same 4 quarter of 2017 year.

If we talk about the percentage distribution in the logistics of gas transit from the Russian Federation to Europe, then at the end of 2017, it looks like this:
44% - “Ukrainian” transit, 30% - via “Nord Stream, the rest is transit through the Republic of Belarus.

The growth here is of course connected with weather conditions. Let's see what will happen next year ... What will the Ukrainian GTS do?

Not only is there an increase in industrial gas consumption, there is a purchase for future use for injection into gas storages because in the West they also understand that Square is stable in what, so in shocks ...

[antivirus]

there are min and max temperatures.
Perhaps we are going through the warmest period in 40 years.
further will be fresher.
Normal people for 3-5 years "before .." think and prepare, but not jump

[rocket757]

There are no endless vaults! They will buy, it’s just a business!
And with the weather ???? Yes, there are such fortunetelling .... sometimes it turns out to throw a coin, or rather it will.
The zealous owner will think for the future anyway, over there, the Bundes grandmother thinks! A few more senior "captains of the Geyropei ship" thought about the same thing!
They will take!

The weather pinned them already in 2018 (February-March), when the shaves were freezing, and here is the data for 2017. Last year, the winter was warmer. It will be interesting to see data for this year.

[23424636]

growth is associated with the replenishment of transit volumes. which was agreed upon with the Tymoshenko-Putin agreement. by which the Swedes sentenced the forfeit.

[gippernano]

Yes, Santa Claus is the eternal enemy of Europe, who argues that?

[Prapor-527]

It is necessary to taste the gas with "skripals", suddenly the "Novice" will be allowed to go. Russians are so insidious ...

[Herculesic]

So, it is necessary that our gas does not go through ukroin at all! To cut pipes going through ukroinu next year, and the gas flow also steadily went past the empire of horses. And Europe is megalicemeres, they bark at us, and they buy more gas every year!

[Dezinto]

And Europe is megalicemeres, they bark at us, and they buy more gas every year!

Well, what? They also have a bark at Russia. More nagavkal got more, they seem to be essentially sideways the main thing is barking in the indicated direction.

[Deck]

And Europe is megalicemeres, they bark at us, and they buy more gas every year!

And we bark at Europe, but we sell gas. And let’s not sell them nasty. We cut the budget by half and disperse everyone who feeds on the budget. In uniform including.

[For example]

You, sir, are only barking. Other people are selling gas. And other people are involved in the budget. Not you. So speak for yourself. This is your personal decision to bark. Who studied what.

Their screams are screams and they are doing things. Germany, even in the person of Shmerkel, puffs on Russia and hugs a pipe from Russia and barks at members of the European family.
He understands .... that in five years, the European family will stick to the German nipple and the Poles and others .... will finally -
other Poles.

[gippernano]

what is so categorical? through our pipes, maybe, but not ours, it’s not possible; let them let their gas in, 45 million all-gas supply chains

[ul_vitalii]

As long as the Ukrainian pipe exists, problems will grow in our snowball; you cannot agree to link the existence of SP-2 with this appendix. A principled and uncompromising stance will cool many hot heads, especially during the period of maximum natural gas consumption.

[KVU-NSVD]

Good afternoon Well, so far everything fits into this vector, but in the light of incessant hysteria, you can wait for anything. The construction of SP-2 is unlikely to stop, but may require any concessions from us at other sites. I hope that in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Gazprom the negotiators are cunning and will not behave different garbage ...

[ul_vitalii]

Hello victor so I’m leading to no concessions. Just give a reason. If there are concessions, then on the noble rights, it’s like throwing a bone, and not dictating to those freezing.

[rocket757]

Vitaly, Victor, we will be healthy
I really want to see the victory of state interests. We are part of the state, this will be our victory.
They certainly need our gas, but they will fight for concessions! In principle, it’s understandable, they are the leaders of the whole “progressive” mankind, the beacon of the world.
I hope business interests will not overpower in our case, the need for this step. We do not need to feed banderlogy at our borders, that's for sure.

[KVU-NSVD]

I really want to see the victory of state interests. We are part of the state, this will be our victory.

Well, the launch of SP-2 will be precisely the victory of Russia and a strategic victory. And that is why it causes such a hysterical opposition. The one I hope is the namesake . there will be an occasion to note this matter and neighing over the futile efforts of various virgins ...

[assa67]

we’ll complete the “Power of Siberia”, “Turkish Stream". on the way .... and what can partners do?

Well, what negotiators and lawyers in Gazprom have already seen, only the Foreign Ministry and the Defense Ministry can essentially explain to the Tolerasts what they will feel better and how much better they would do, especially in light of recent events

[Vard]

Flies separately ... cutlets separately ... Europe spoils not childishly, while squealing that gas is a weapon of Russian influence ... so it may not be necessary to disappoint the old woman ... We cannot shut off supplies ... contract and so on ... but to increase it in case of cold weather ... as I understand it, at our discretion ... let them feel the difference ... and more ... What was the price for deliveries?

[Vadim237]

Politics separately - you can declare anything, the economy separately - there is a demand and a supply.

[Nyrobsky]

Quote: Vard

Over-planned deliveries at what price did they go?

Gas is contracted, the volume delivered under the contract, just ahead of schedule. So the price is the same as stated in the contract.

[Vard]

And they are selling it with a significant increase in price ...

[Nyrobsky]

Quote: Vard

And they are selling it with a significant increase in price ...

When they bought gas from us, it is their gas already))) And therefore, they do not heap a weak% on it and sell it to the most “smart” Young Europeans, with a good amount of it for themselves.

[Mountain shooter]

Ominous signs ... "Nord Stream-2" will obviously take upon itself "Ukrainian transit" ... But can Belarusian (Polish) ... Poles, too, is it time to "get ready"?

[Vadim237]

And there is Yamal LNG and they are building a second similar terminal.

[Vard]

Of course it will be so ... judging by the quotation of Gazprom shares ... all the money goes into the creation of pumping capacities ... That is, the banquet, as always, is at our expense ...

[Nyrobsky]

Quote: Vadim237

And there is Yamal LNG and they are building a second similar terminal.

Here we may not know to whom our gas will be delivered at all, since it can be bought by an intermediary with a gas carrier. And to whom he will remove gas, it is his will. Thus, the United States bought our Yamal LNG this winter, through an intermediary and in the absence of a direct gas supply agreement from Russia to the United States, by which Europe was brought in a little tetanus because they promise to replace Russian gas with its own shale gas and at the same time buy Russian gas. This circumstance, in turn, did not add optimism to the Europeans and forced them to the fact that Nord Stream-2 is still more expedient to build than to freeze.

[Alex Nevs]

Well, stock up on gas for REVERSE (business is business). And why not weld :-)

[gippernano]

yes, I understand, and even welcome, because in the coming years, it will either be very expensive, or rush about on its own cob

[voyaka uh]

There is no need to flatter oneself.
In the USA, 2 LNG terminal plants are currently operating.
And 4 more are being built.
In Europe, almost every landlocked country builds
LNG terminal. When the infrastructure is on both banks
Atlantic will be untwisted, a sharp change may occur
gas supply patterns to Europe.

By that time, we will feel like if not by drum, then almost by vegetable, as other gas pipelines will be built in other directions. Europe, of course, can hang out in terms of price, but it will not be able to refuse Russian gas for the simple reason that failure will entail a sharp increase in the final price for the European citizen and an increase in the price of products. If Russian is 300 bucks per thousand cubic meters, and American LNG is 500, then adding these two indicators and dividing by 2, you get a price of 400 American rubles per thousand cubic meters. What do you agree - not 500. And yet yes, Gazprom will certainly have to squeeze exactly on the volume of gas that will be supplied from the USA, but this is not 43%. Losses in the European market will be offset by volumes directed to China.

[Lev Bronsch]

You are not seduced by ours, so in Europe there are already 250 billion cubic meters of regasification capacities built, where else ?? These do not reach a third of the load. No, Europeans are rich people, let them build ... Actually LNG from the Russian Federation and cheaper than American / Qatari and the quality will be higher. All is not at a loss to us, then good !!
Seriously - Portugal, Spain, Italy, the south, the south of France, England - this is where LNG is purchased and it is economically viable. BUT Gazprom never popped in and never delivered. So we are not cold, not hot. But the terminal in Poland, Lithuania, tell me how busy, at what price gas is released to consumers ?? Here I am about what they want dear - their right! Only then there is no need to cry - over the ocean all claims)))

[Vard]

Overhead costs, if they change, are not much, that is, gas will be significantly more expensive ...

[NF68]

Since the beginning of 2018, the temperature in almost all countries of Western Europe has been lower than usual. And as far as I know in many EU countries, even before the start of this winter, they tried to store gas in storage facilities as much as possible in order to avoid problems with gas supply.

[razved]

It’s all healthy, but what about Gazprom’s situation with the implementation of its country's gasification program, i.e. Russia?
