Russian gas began to flow to Europe along a new route, “old” is also in operation

2020 began with large "gas" News. One of them was reported by the Ukrainian GTS Operator on Facebook.

We have already transported the first cubic meters of gas to the EU under a new transit contract and European rules at interstate points, the GTS is operating normally

- announced the company.

This information was also confirmed by the director of LLC GTS Operator of Ukraine Sergey Makogon.

At the end of December, Ukraine and Russia signed a gas transit agreement. The contract guarantees Kiev to pump through its territory up to 65 billion blue fuel in the first year of operation, and 40 billion in the next four.

At the same time, news on the pipeline topic came from the other side of Cherny. On January 1, natural gas arrived in Bulgaria from Russia via the Turkish Stream subsea gas pipeline. This is the first time that a country receives fuel without using the transit capacities of neighboring Romania, which, as noted by a number of media outlets, reduces financial costs.

The message on the supply of fuel by this route, the Russian and Bulgarian sides signed in December. The Turkish Stream project provides for the construction of two pipeline lines from Russia through the Black Sea to the European part of Turkey. The capacity of each string will be about 15,75 billion cubic meters. meters per year.

. The contract guarantees Kiev to pump through its territory up to 65 billion blue fuel in the first year of operation, and 40 billion in the next four.

Wrong spelling
Not “up to 65 billion” under the contract, but not less than 65 billion in the first year, and not less than 40 in the next
That is, more is possible, but not less

Quote: Avior

That is, more is possible, but not less

It is possible and less. But you have to pay, as for pumping 65 and further 40 billion a year.

[Avior]

Yes you are right
If less, then pay as for 65
But not until 65, as they wrote

[NKT]

But does “download or pay” correspond to the third energy package? We talked about booking capacities for each month, as much as needed, and now there is a commitment?

[Avior]

And what does not match?
The restrictions apply if the company is a monopolist, the producer and seller of gas, is the owner of the gas pipeline itself
In this case, the owners are different

Well, as it were, no.
OPAL, NEL and EUGAL also do not want to load Gazprom gas with more than 50%. And this is a VERY serious problem for Gazprom.

[Avior]

So the Ukrainian GTS load less than 50 percent like
And these are located in the EU, isn't that the problem?

. The throughput on the border of the Russian Federation with Ukraine is 288 billion m³ per year, on the borders of Ukraine with Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova - 178,5 billion m³ per year, including 142,5 billion m³ with the EU countries in year

Since the Soviet times, the Ukrainian GTS has a large throughput, significantly exceeding real deliveries
They are not very dependent on politics, in 2017 under Poroshenko transit was more than in 2012-13 under Yanukovych

One way or another, Gazprom will solve its problems, but what about the problems of pensioners and small civil servants, say, medical workers, because whoever can run to private clinics and who will stay?

How to fill up going?

[NKT]

Gazprom had to directly reserve volumes from the GTS, and now there was a gasket in the face of Naftogaz, which is the only buyer of volumes from the GTS and a kind of “guarantor”, before which Gazprom must comply with the download or pay rule, but who is not responsible for anything. By the way, you do not know Swedish law, as it were, more “flexible” and impartial than in the Netherlands?

[Avior]

In this case, it is necessary to compare point-by-point the requirements of this third energy package and this contract, for this you need texts of both, if you have a link to them, drop it, it will be interesting to see what is there and how
As far as I understand, the third energy package is designed to separate the producer, seller and company-owner of the gas pipeline

Bulgarian Prime Minister promised to send Putin photographs of the construction of the Balkan Stream January 3, 2020

Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov inspected the construction of the Balkan Stream. Boyko Borisov flew by helicopter over the construction of a 45-kilometer section in the Pleven region.

“Work was going on here for the New Year. They work both on Saturday and Sunday. I’ll send photos to Vladimir Putin, let the Russian president see what is working in Bulgaria “- said the Prime Minister.
“Since the start of the Balkan Stream, 18 pipes have been laid in Bulgaria. Two Greek and one Italian company work on the highway “- Borisov said, specifying that Italian and American equipment are working.
“I think that we will build the Balkan Stream on time, by the end of May”- said Boyko Borisov, stressing that Bulgaria is the gas strategic distribution center of the Balkans.

No! For transportation and its cost are specified in the contract according to Euro norms. If in a nutshell. Tg the smaller the volume of transit, the higher the price.

However, as well as the possibility of supplying gas to the Ukrainian market with sauce of all kinds of discounts.

As for the "guaranteed" volumes (65 and 40 in subsequent), the transit price, as it is believed, has not changed much

The parties do not disclose the tariff at which Russian gas will be pumped through Ukraine. But Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky wrote on his page on the American social network Facebook that Ukraine would receive “at least more than $ 7 billion” from this contract in five years. It's about the amount of $ 7,2 billion, Vitrenko specified. Based on these estimates, pumping 1 thousand cubic meters. m to Europe through the territory of Ukraine will cost Gazprom $ 31,25. This is slightly less than the current tariff for the transit of Russian gas between Sujah ​​on the border with Russia and Velke Kapushany on the border with Slovakia - $ 32,4 per 1 thousand cubic meters. m

Therefore, daily temporary agreements are required to transfer gas from Naftogaz to Slovaks. And so do not care - they have OPAL. And now the European Commissioners rushed to Bratislava.

There are generally subtleties in reverse

GTS operators of Ukraine and Slovakia concluded interconnect agreements

The new Ukrainian gas transmission operator LLC GTS Operator of Ukraine (OGTSU, Kiev) and the operator of the Slovak GTS Eustream have entered into an interconnection agreement, Vice President of the European Commission Maros Shefchovich said. "I welcome the interconnection agreement concluded between Ukraine and Slovakia and strongly supported by the European Commission. All parts for gas transit along the Ukrainian route are now in place. Great news for Europe's energy security!" - he tweeted on Tuesday.

The technical cooperation agreement (IA, interconnection agreement) signed in Brussels on Tuesday according to European rules from January 1, 2020 between the operators of the Ukrainian and Slovak GTSs opens up the possibility of virtual reversal, said the head of the NAC, Andrey Kobolev.

"The main element of victory here is the elimination of Gazprom between Uzhgorod and Velke Kapushany as a super operator," he said at a press conference in Kiev on Tuesday.

"This is what we have been fighting over the past five years, and only now we have managed to achieve this, because there were restrictions, including from our side. Now, when all issues on gas metering are resolved, this will be a rather serious breakthrough. mean that at all points of accession with the European Union, European rules will begin to operate, which, among other things, provide for, for example, a virtual reverse, "added the head of the NAC.

It’s admirable for this situation - using the conflict in Ukraine as an excuse, the Germans sold the resolution blocking the South Stream, so that in a few years they could realize the Nord Stream-2 project and take all this traffic under their own control.

This scheme would not work. The project was supposed to be joint anyway, the third energy package is nothing to do with it. There was a special resolution of the European Parliament. Objectively, the Bulgarians could not do anything with the Germans in that situation, the forces were too unequal. In short, you and we ultimately flew by.

Just such a scheme was proposed by the Bulgarian side to Gazprom. In my opinion, Gazprom and Ross. management made a huge mistake. In fact, the current Turkish / Balkan stream repeats this idea. And after all has passed! Only fraud less.
Gazprom flew by far, we are at a lower level. But in the hands of Erdogan, there were strong trump cards against the Russian Federation and the EU! By the way, Bulgaria acquired 20% of its assets from the LNG terminal in Alexandroupoli, in addition, they concluded an agreement with Azerbaijan for the supply of 1 billion sq. M. gas, so we won’t stay without gas.

Ideally, the flow through Bulgaria should be launched with one branch to Greece and Italy and the other to Serbia, Hungary and Austria. How would we so well compete with the Germans? What about bros?

There are branches from Bulgaria to Greece, even 2! A pipe from Alexandroupolis can work towards Greece on the reverse, and there is another one through southwestern Bulgaria. Ideally, the best solution, the pipe is direct from the Crimea to our northern Dobruzhd. Only 370 km. In 2016-17, Gazprom surveyed the western coast of Crimea! In addition, by passing the pipe under the Kerch bridge, they made it with "excess" power, just in case ... But until the Crimea receives internationally recognized status in the Russian Federation, this option is unacceptable for political reasons.

More precisely, it was the desire of the EU European Commissioners - Gazprom at its own expense (100%) builds UP, and then transfers it to the management of EU companies. And, of course, pays them for transit. The pressure on OPAL goes in the same direction - give it to us, without redemption, and use it, just count the money.
But NEL, which works for Germany, France, Holland, is not subjected to any pressure: 100% of Gazprom’s pipe pumps 100% of Gazprom’s gas, 100% of its capacity, but the European Commissioners have no complaints.
So Bulgaria was bent in vain - just the 2nd energy package was directed against it and Eastern Europe.

Hardly, because the EU itself is a profitable market and will not remain empty. Bigger money is stored in LNG terminals. It is very naive to believe that "only fools are sitting" in the EU.

The future is in them.

It is very naive to believe that "only fools are sitting" in the EU.

The EU is now unprofitable, for sellers, the market, in all respects. Stagnation in the economy, despite quotas - overproduction of food, negative interest rates. Only with very low costs of their own can one hold on there. Therefore, in the coming year, LNG will undress its traders into cowards.
Renewable sources, renewable energy sources, with the cessation of subsidies, lose their attractiveness. And RES is not suitable for industry.

[pytar]

LNG is certainly more expensive. But a monopole breaks through them. But renewable energy sources have no alternative if they want to be preserved as a biological species. Look, the atmosphere covers like a thin film of the Earth. And in it we burn billions of tons of hydrocarbons! There will be nothing to breathe soon!

At the same time, there are colossal inexhaustible sources of conditionally pure energy. Mankind, as it has mastered technology, has absorbed increasingly powerful sources. It is a matter of time before we move on to the next stage. Countries that have made a breakthrough in technology will have a total advantage. So it was, is and will be. This is a normal evolutionary process.

[Oyo Sarkazmi]

To put 1 ton of structures into orbit, it is necessary to burn 100 tons of kerosene.
To start one wind turbine, it takes 700 tons of cement, for the manufacture of which it is necessary to burn 490 tons (not cubic meters!) Of gas, plus a hundred tons of steel with a hundred tons of coke.
To make 1 square meter of solar panels, 5 kg of aluminum and 30 kg of steel are required per frame. This is approximately 60-90 watts. You can calculate how much will go only to your house, city.
As long as there is gas, coal, oil, we can have fun renewable energy. As soon as it ends - charcoal and swamp ore.
Bulgaria lost the chance to live the next 40 years in wealth and abundance - its own chemistry, its fertilizers, its cement, the heat in the winter in houses, its own electricity. Alas.

To finish off energy, you need cars. To make cars, you need energy. In one year, the Earth receives from the Sun 10 times more energy than all other energy reserves on Earth. For the system to work, the energy produced must be greater than the energy consumed by the machines. The same goes for controlled thermonuclear fusion. The sun is essentially a mega-thermonuclear central. So far, technology is more efficient in providing energy from hydrocarbons. But there is no doubt that very soon technological progress will bring handicap for renewable energy sources. Their effectiveness is constantly growing. After all, all nature functions in this way! Otherwise, the planet will suffocate. You have gas, oil, coal, and what will you breathe?

Bulgaria lost the chance to live the next 40 years in wealth and abundance ...

Sitting on an empty pipe? If the one to whom the pipe is directed does not want it, why do we need it? To go bankrupt?

Slovakia will adopt a law that OPAL - not a transit but a dead end gas pipeline - and OPAL will work at full capacity. On the territory of Bulgaria, UP was under the full jurisdiction of Bulgaria, and at the moment of the conclusion of the contract, it was fully consistent with the norms of Bulgarian laws. But the prime minister pulled because of pressure from the EC, demanding to change the laws of Bulgaria and the terms of the contract after its conclusion. What Bulgaria could not do, the precedent of NEL and SP-1, and now SP-2 - before our eyes. The only property of Gazprom under the restrictions of EP-2 and EP-3 is OPAL.

It is truth too. Another factor influenced was LNG. In Europe, gas prices fell 32% year on year. In 2019 to 2018, Gazprom's supplies to Bulgaria decreased by 15%. Gazprom retained its position as the largest supplier, but its share in Bulgaria decreased to 85,59%. In 2018, it was 99,2%.

On January 1, Bulgaria received natural gas from Russia via the Turkish Stream subsea gas pipeline. This is the first time that a country receives fuel without using the transit capacities of neighboring Romania, which, as noted by a number of media outlets, reduces financial costs.

I want to believe that the Bulgarians, nevertheless, compensate our costs because of them.

From what they wrote, we can conclude that SP2 will not work until the end of 2020, and not the middle of the year, as they wrote earlier
If this is so, then it turns out that Ukraine will pump the same volumes of gas this year as last year, something like 90 billion cubic meters, minus those 2-3 billion cubic meters that go directly to the Bulgarians.
Or am I misunderstood something?

The restrictions are on OPAL, and SP1 is here as a result.
As for your proposal, EUGAL may also be subject to restrictions. He is promised not to fail under the third package, but .......

There was infa on the internet, Gazprom is supposed to be soft and concessions to Ukraine due to Germany's promises to withdraw OPAL and EUGAL from the third energy package. From that, such volumes were announced after the first year - 40bn.m3, just that balance, with a full load of sp1 and sp2.

Restrictions on onshore European pipelines arrived when SP2 was already being built with might and main.
If we knew about this in advance, then the marine part of SP2 could not have been built. All 10 billion dollars would have remained in your pocket.
But now we need to finish building SP2. Suddenly, then the situation will somehow change.

[Avior]

The restriction has long been,
just the Germans were able to bring opal for a while
The third energy package was adopted in 2009
If the problem is only in the ground, then the most logical way to build the ground was to double the ground parts of sp1 and use half
Similarly, in SP2- with this logic, all ground extensions should have double bandwidth
At the same time, both SP1 and SP2 can, it turns out, work 100 percent
But in fact they don’t do it, it seems that the marine parts are also affected

It would be interesting to look at the NPV of this project.

Medvedev: firm guarantees from the EU are needed to extend the "Turkish Stream" through Bulgaria
Economics and business March 4, 0:26
According to the Russian Prime Minister, "the new branch should not repeat the sad fate of South Stream."

MOSCOW, March 4. / TASS /. The decision to extend the Turkish Stream gas pipeline through Bulgaria can only be made if firm guarantees are received that the European Union will not interfere with gas supplies along this route. This was stated by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in an interview with the Bulgarian newspaper Trud on the eve of his visit to Sofia.

"The new branch should not repeat the sad fate of South Stream. So the decision to extend the Turkish Stream through Bulgarian territory depends on whether Sofia can get firm guarantees that the EU will not obstruct plans for gas supplies through the new gas pipeline," - said Medvedev.

According to Medvedev, "the option of extending the second branch of the Turkish Stream to Bulgaria, Serbia and Hungary is now being worked out." "But the final decision depends not only on us. The choice between various options for continuing the Turkish Stream will largely depend on the readiness of the gas transportation infrastructure. This, in turn, depends on the interest and concrete actions of the governments of the respective countries," the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation stressed ...

In this regard, Medvedev noted that he sees Bulgaria's movement in this direction - the adoption by Bulgartransgaz of the final investment decision on the implementation of the project for the development and expansion of the gas transmission system, as well as the successful completion of the collection of applications for booking future gas transmission capacities. "The road is open for the start of construction work. But for such a large and expensive project as a gas pipeline, additional guarantees are needed," the head of the Russian Cabinet of Ministers stressed.

.

In turn, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation Sergei Prikhodko noted that the issue of obtaining guarantees from the EU when considering the option of laying the second string of the Turkish Stream with access to a gas distribution center in the Austrian Baumgarten concerns not only Bulgaria. “The final approval of the route for Russian gas supplies will, of course, take into account the position of the European Commission. We believe that the EU member states interested in Russian gas should receive firm guarantees from the European Union that the plans to build the second line of the Turkish Stream will not be violated by politically motivated by decision of Brussels, "Prikhodko told reporters on the eve of the visit of the Russian Prime Minister to Bulgaria.

[Brturin]

These words and why they were said is a separate question (there is an opinion so as not to draw attention to this project ahead of time), but there are things - the Bulgarian section is being built, the Serbian section has been built and no one has yet protested this, nor the Romanians, who are not so sensitive to These issues are the Poles, the above quote is about the proposal to the Hungarians to connect and again there are no special warnings either from the EU or from others ... By the way, the same Sergey Prikhodko about the Serbian section - "Interaction with Serbia is developing most actively. 402 km long, intended to receive gas from the Turkish Stream ... With the commissioning of the entire system of transit gas pipelines continuing the Turkish Stream, Serbia will reliably meet the domestic demand for gas, and will also transit the "blue fuel" to the countries Central Europe "- the truth is already in October 2019 and somehow without mentioning the EU ...
With regard to Serbia, they consider that this issue has been agreed with the European Energy Community, in accordance with 3 energy packages

According to him, the structure headed by him established the Transportgas Serbia company on October 1 this year and will continue the process of dividing the spheres of activity in accordance with the requirements of the EU and the European Energy Community. In the coming period, Serbiyagaz will begin to build an interconnector Nis - Dimitrovgrad - Sofia, for which European funds have been allocated in the amount of € 48 million, as well as an interconnector with Romania, which together with the gas supply from Baumgarten (Central European Gas Hub) and a gas pipeline from the Bulgarian to the Hungarian border as a continuation of the Turkish Stream will create conditions for the opening of the gas market in Serbia as early as October 1, 2020 in accordance with European rules and regulations, "the press service of the company he heads is quoted by Bayatovic. It is reported that the EU has allocated € 1,7 for the creation of SCADA software for managing Serbia's gas transmission system. XNUMX million

Medvedev: firm guarantees from the EU are needed to extend the "Turkish Stream" through Bulgaria

Doesn't it tell you that the TP has reached the Bulgarian border and the pipe is already connected? And also Gazprom has booked capacity. In general, the statements of VVP and Medvedev seemed "interesting" to me, since there were only 2 options for continuing the TP - through Bulgaria and Greece - the wallpaper of the EU country. They have the same EU regulations / laws. It's funny, the second line was built, reached the coast and began to "demand a guarantee"! And if you haven't received it?

With the border of the EU, this is a problem of the EU (and already in coastal waters). The fact is still little known: During pre-trial proceedings (2018-2019), the EC and Gazprom agreed that one of the entry points to the EU necessarily will be on the border of Bulgaria. Therefore, the "threats" from the Russian side looked very funny. authorities that may pass through Greece. They could have been (at least more expensive), but the branch to Bulgaria still remained in charge.

On April 15, 2019, the EU Council approved amendments to the EU Gas Directive, which is part of the EU’s Third Energy Package, on the extension of European standards to gas pipelines going to the EU from third countries. They will have to work according to the same rules as pipelines located on the territory of EU Member States.

There are four basic rules. The first stipulates that the same company that produces and sells gas (the so-called unbundling, or the separation of assets) cannot transport gas. The second is the access of third companies to the gas pipeline. The third requirement - competitive tariffs for gas transportation will be set by the regulator of the recipient country. Fourth, the gas pipeline should work transparently, in particular with regard to security of supply

from which alternative sources to Gazprom is the pipe replenished ..

I apologize for not saying that LNG is already being delivered in Bulgaria from the LNG terminal in Alexandroupolis / Greece /. According to the internal Bulgarian gas transmission network, it can be pumped to the Balkan stream, and in any direction. In 2019, we already bought 300 million square meters, and this year we gave a request for 450 million square meters. It turns out 30% cheaper than Gazprom. Until recently, Gazprom had been 100% monopolists in the Bulgarian market. Bulgaria received gas at inflated prices.

Bulgaria, as a member of the EU, has conducted tenders in accordance with the legislation of the Union. Moreover, the EU is funding this project. There are no problems.

Hmm, and why when I hear about the Bulgarians, I want to piss someone? Ridiculous. Bulgargaz EAD continues negotiations with Gazprom Export to reduce the price of natural gas supplies for the country, while the Bulgarian side insists that the delivery price for the Bulgarian consumer reflects the development of prices for the liquefied continental gas hub and current border prices for Germany / France / Italy.

The interest of both sides implies that the negotiations should be completed as soon as possible in early 2020. "

By the way, what is described in the contract in case the gas consumer pumps less than the required 65-40 cubic meters? They will say "well, we don't need more than 20", for example. This will lead to force majeure, or will there be any sanctions again?

[Gennady Fomkin]

It can’t. The capacities are reserved by Gazprom. The restriction by half was bypassed with the help of the Turks.

Transit and delivery are different things. So there is no choice. What we will actually find out after the New Year.

In principle, Bulgaria is trying to do the same as h..ly. As soon as transit appears, the demand for discounts begins.

Therefore, the direct channel is always better. And gas, except for Russian gas, is becoming less and less in the EU, 2023 billion cubic meters of gas are discharged from Norway until 25, + other suppliers are pretty small and become consumers themselves + we don’t forget the abandonment of nuclear power plants in Germany + Polyaks don’t forget will have to close their coal stations because of rising EU fines for greenbacks

"From January to September 2019, the Trans-Anatolian Gas Pipeline (TANAP) - the main part of the Southern Gas Corridor project - transported about 1,798 billion cubic meters of gas, said Azerbaijan's state oil company SOCAR."

At the same time, Azerbaijan purchased 999 million cubic meters from Russia and another 799,2 million cubic meters were imported from Iran. Total 1 billion 798,2 million cubic meters of gas. Amazingly matching digits to the point.

I’ll add, before the launch of TANAP, Azerbaijan purchased only 349 million cubic meters of gas

[Gennady Fomkin]

Realizing that, despite all the rejection of reality, there is no other alternative, a number of oil and gas TNCs are trying to "find" the missing gas on the other side of the Caspian - in Turkmenistan. Formally, any project there is impossible until the final demarcation of the water area, the process of which is underway, but is still far from completion. In practice, Western lawyers think that they have found a "gap" that will allow them to start designing a joint Azerbaijani-Turkmen project to lay the Trans-Caspian gas pipeline. Georgia enlisted the support of the European Commission and expressed its readiness to finance the start of the design work.

Turkmenistan's interest in "joining" the Southern Gas Corridor is simple. In 2016, Russia stopped the purchase of Turkmen gas, and in early 2017, Turkmenistan fell out with Iran, as a result of which it was deprived of exports there. As a result, the country is able to produce 75-80 billion cubic meters of gas per year, and sells only 29,6 billion to its only buyer - China, which takes advantage of Ashgabat's stalemate and pays little - only $ 185 per thousand cubic meters. The drop in export earnings hit the country's revenues hard and forced the Turkmen government to significantly cut social guarantees. The money received is only enough to service the loans received from China.

The implementation of the TAP will allow directing the "available surplus" through the Southern Corridor "to the West." They are preparing to go on the first line 12-15 billion, then another 15-16 billion on the second. The project is actively supported by EU banks and that part of the European elite, which actively does not like the forced rapprochement of the European Union with Russia.

Theoretically, Turkmen gas can provide both additional loading of TANAP and the needs of the Trans-Adriatic part of the Southern Gas Corridor. In the long term, even press Gazprom. And if you look very far away and take into account the very, very long-term plans (today they are rather just dreams, although not without reasonable grounds) of Turkmenistan to double its production with Western help, Europe can really get through the Southern Corridor (taking into account its expansion) up to about 90 billion cubic meters of gas, which is approximately 70-75% of the current supply of Gazprom to the EU. In theory.

Because in practice, for the next five years, 6 billion cubic meters is all that Turkmenistan is able to pass through the SGC. Consequently, they will not reach the European border of Turkey at all. At the same time, in the next three to four years, Nord Stream 2 and South Stream 2 will be commissioned, which will increase Russian gas exports to Europe from 155,9 (2017 data) to 226-227 billion cubes per year.

Against this background, even if Azerbaijan manages to increase production to at least 18 billion, and Turkmenistan manages to miraculously stretch the first branch along the bottom of the Caspian, then even in this case Europe will reach 22-24 billion cubic meters from the force, which will make up 10% of Russian volumes. They will certainly bring additional money to suppliers, but they will not be able to seriously affect the overall balance of supply and demand in the European gas market, especially given the drop in European production. The dominance of Russian gas in Europe has no alternative.

It's time to exclude this term "brothers" from the lexicon, so that the Russian younger generation treats the Bulgarians in the same way as, for example, Moroccans, Uruguayans, or Somalis ... Exactly and indifferent .. Ugh on them.

I look, you are very actively working in that direction! All your comments are in the same vein! It is unlikely to affect the thinking part of the population.

Well, yes. Thinking Russians just think so. Twisting the "brothers" a fig behind the back
