Leaders of Belarus and Armenia are sure that they overpay for Russian gas

107

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan held a telephone conversation on March 31. Her initiative came from the Armenian side.

A brief report on the conversation between the leaders of the two states appeared on the official website of the President of Belarus.



One of the main topics of discussion among the leaders was the cost of hydrocarbons purchased in Russia. Lukashenko and Pashinyan agreed that the price of Russian gas offered to Armenia and Belarus is clearly overstated. It does not at all correspond to either the world average level or the current situation on the hydrocarbon market.

The annual volume of gas purchased by Minsk in Russia is approximately 20 billion cubic meters. Last year, its price for Belarus was 127 dollars per thousand cubic meters. This year, by agreement of the parties, Russia did not give Minsk a discount and continues to supply fuel at the previous price.

In addition to the energy issue, Alexander Lukashenko and Nikol Pashinyan discussed other economic problems that have arisen recently. Among other things, they discussed the initiative of the Belarusian president, in which he proposed organizing a meeting of the heads of state of the EAEU.

The parties also touched upon healthcare in the conversation, in particular, the fight against the spread of viral infections.

          Oil prices by formulas in Russia began to correspond to negative values. Experts called this situation paradoxical.
          So, the quotation of Argus fip Western Siberia on Monday was equal to minus 1007 rubles, and on Tuesday it amounted to minus 1200 rubles per ton. This quote applies when the seller is obligated to deliver the goods to the Western Siberia pipeline at his own expense. The unprecedented drop in oil prices has led to the fact that now the cost of transportation for the seller exceeded the cost of the oil itself.

            For us (Bulgaria), the price of Russian gas fell to $ 126 if I do not confuse. And because it is already tied not to the contract but to the exchange, it continues to fall. But gas appeared at our internal exchange at an even lower price.

            By the way - since yesterday in my city the bills for central heating and warm water fell by 27% and will compensate me for money from August 2019.

              Everything will be the other way around here, I'm sure of that. For when the price of oil falls by more than 2 times, and the dollar grows by only 20%, but the price of gasoline does not decrease, this can only be explained by the desire of monopolies cherished by the state to compensate for their lost profits (but not losses!) At the expense of their population ... Here it is, the true face of "our" power.

            The price depends on the volume of purchases.

          Insolent! Maybe they also pay extra?

          Well, for example, for oil, it seems, thanks to the next HSP, we will also "pay extra":

          Belneftekhim is negotiating the supply of 2 million tons of oil in April. This was announced by Prime Minister of Belarus Sergei Rumas.

          - Today, I think, Belneftekhim will finish negotiations with Russian companies on the supply of Russian oil in April. We expect to get 2 million tons of oil. As for the prize, I can repeat what I said two weeks ago: Russian oil will be delivered without a prize. This tough and consistent set by the head of state to buy oil without a premium to the price is maintained by the government. The result of this position is the price at which we will buy oil in April - about $ 4 per barrel, the Prime Minister said.

          As TUT.BY reported, almost the entire first quarter, Belarus and Russia could not agree on oil supplies to Belarus. The refineries worked at half load using alternative supplies, own raw materials (Belarus exported its oil in previous years) and supplies through Mikhail Gutseriev’s companies. On March 21, the press service of the Russian Cabinet announced that the prime ministers of Belarus and Russia agreed to supply oil to Belarusian refineries “in full and on agreed terms.” [Nextl]

          - All Russian companies will be able to supply oil without a premium. Of this premium, $ 11,7 per tonne, $ 7 are reduced by companies, the remaining $ 4,7 will be settled by inter-budget settlements. That is, the Russian government will take these 4,7 dollars on itself, ”Rumas explained.

            Apparently, some here, not quite yet, understood what happened and is happening on the oil and gas market:
            Estimated prices for Russian oil, which serve as the main reference point for pricing in the domestic market, have reached negative values. This was reported by Argus.

            According to the agency, the Argus fip Western Siberia quote on March 30 was minus 1007 rubles per ton, and on March 31 - already minus 1200 rubles per ton. That is, transportation costs, payment of export duties and other expenses exceeded the cost of selling Urals brand oil in Europe.

            Since prices are calculated on the basis of the formula for many participants in the domestic market, this situation took them by surprise. In particular, suppliers are worried about the likelihood that commodity prices will remain low for quite some time. And this can make the profitability of oil sales in Russia zero or even negative, the agency notes.

            The day before it was reported that the Russian brand Urals, the value of which is associated with the Brent brand, dropped to $ 13. The last time it was at such values ​​was in the last century. In turn, the value of Brent during the auction on April 1 lost more than four percent.

        That's what Ukrainians did and received several billion from you. That's what we did, and we got 750 million compensation, so the Poles did it and yesterday announced that they would receive 1,5 billion from Gazprom.

      Due to the fact that after a very mild winter European underground storage facilities remained at record volumes, as well as under the pressure of growing deliveries of liquefied natural gas (LNG), spot gas prices in Europe fell to the level of domestic prices, at $ 82 per thousand cubic meters .

      So they want the same thing.

      Luka the blackmailer could not single-handedly "tilt" Russia, now he decided to become also a conspirator in the CSTO. Pashinyan has already bowed down. Something where he climbs. Oh, yes, he has an alternative, to buy from Turkey or Azeibarjan. They will be very happy to sell him everything for cheap.
      The whole world is fighting the virus problem, and Luka doesn't care. His goal is to "bend Russia." It is ridiculous and disgusting to look at his stubborn stubbornness in an offended position. There is an old saying, "they carry water to the offended."

          Documents to the studio! I wouldn’t be a tyrant; Belarus would have long been a part of Russia. And that would strengthen both economies. And he would gladly agree to the post of president of such a Russia, which he dreamed of back in 1996.
          He was ready to participate in the elections in Russia, since he had a crazy authority then. But the Yeltsin team did everything to prevent this from happening. Friendship and the union state were blocked. Since then, "dad" and fell into a mortal offense. Since then, he switched to blackmail, siphoning loans and handouts from Russia. This is not from the stories of historians, this is from real life before our eyes. Yes hi

      Among other things, they discussed the initiative of the Belarusian president, in which he proposed organizing a meeting of the heads of state of the EAEU.

      Well, what does the Arab League intend to "talk" about at the EAEU summit? About how, with his constant "ultimatums", he inclines the Russian Federation to lower energy prices. Or how he begged to join NATO exercises near his borders. Or about his admiration for Trump's experience, who offers to spit on quarantine and work, work for the good of America.

      An interesting discussion will turn out. It would be fine if this were the personal opinion of the Arab League (a), because he tunes the country - Belarus to these "Wishlist".

      One of the main topics of conversation among the leaders was the cost of hydrocarbons purchased in Russia. Lukashenko and Pashinyan agreed that the price of Russian gas offered to Armenia and Belarus is clearly overstated.

      I read somewhere that Belarus and Armenia are sovereign states. Having their own point of view on South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Crimea ... Nobody forbids them to buy resources where they can and want, at any price that suits them, even more expensive, even cheaper. Russia has offered a price, like it - take it, no, buy in other places. And it remains to wish them good luck in their business.

        They simply try not to mention the regular performances of the AHL in Belarus with reminders of sovereignty and a separate path from Russia in our media.
        “We have never intended and are not going to become a part of any state, even fraternal Russia,” the President said.
        "The main thing to remember: I am not a kid who has worked for 3-4-5 years as the President. And I do not want to cross out everything that I did together with you, the people, creating a sovereign independent state, in order to put it in some box with a cross at the top. And throw it away or transfer it somewhere. This will never happen with me. This is our country. We are sovereign and independent. We should be proud of this, "the Belarusian leader emphasized.
        © 05.12.2019
        But from 2020:
        We have our own country. We are sovereign and independent. With our brains and hands that we could, earned, we are building our country. And we cannot be part of any country. I can’t betray you and dissolve Belarus, even in our fraternal Russia.

      Such a debate was stirred up, as if you have some percentage from the sale of oil. Even if it costs at least two kopecks, it’s worthless, it’s been twenty years to jump on the spot and invest money in American bonds, why do we need our own production, it’s easier and cheaper to buy everything from the Chinese. The Chinese people are not stupid, the time will come when they will begin to break prices for goods, and we, like Belarusians and Armenians, will groan; "Don't you think BB that Xi Jinping is hurting our prices for goods." And you will not do anything, you will buy with a good face in a bad game.

      Russia borders on Belarus. Nothing can be done here.
      And Armenia has no common borders with Russia. It does not represent any economic or political interest for Russia. It is necessary to announce the closure of the Russian base in Gyumri. Proud but independent Armenia can deal with its "historical friends" - Turkey and Azerbaijan by itself.
      Well, when the rooster is sufficiently fried, then, according to the Polish model, require Armenia to pay for the maintenance of Russian troops on its territory. Then, maybe they will think about what to say and whether or not to spit in the well.

        This is not a discount. Everything is spelled out in the contracts. Market price, therefore "floating" for short intervals. Gazprom simply returned the previously overpaid money to the Bulgarians at the prices from the previous agreement. This was provided for in the new treaty. It is not known how they will agree with Belarus, and whether they will agree at all. In order for Gazprom to revise the contracts, Belarus should have a competitive alternative, but this is not yet visible.

      Belarus receives 127 dollars per cubic meter for 1000 dollars, Armenia for 165 dollars per cubic meter, 10% of them, and later 30 dollars for 1000 cubic meters of the Russian Federation paid Georgia for transit to Armenia. For Armenian citizens, the gas price is 290 dollars per 1000 cubic meters. This is not Pashinyan should ask about prices, but the Armenians themselves from Pashinyan for what an extra 125 bucks? The price of gas for citizens in Georgia is $ 152 per 1000 cubic meters (the most expensive, Sokar is cheaper than 140). The price of gas for gas in Azerbaijan is $ 58 per 1000 cubic meters for business, there is a different price.

      Ukrainians received a 3-fold decrease in supplies through Ukraine for XNUMX begging billions, i.e. the long-term, but not one-time, loss of huge amounts for transit, and the inability to dispute in the future none agreement on this topic.

      As for Poland, they can declare anything, meanwhile, the dispute has been going on for 5 years, and an interim arbitration decision was received in 2018, but Gazprom appealed against it. The latter decision does not mean immediate payments, but only the continuation of the trial.

      As for Bulgaria, specify what you mean. € 750 million is a lawsuit by Italian Saipem over the termination of the South Stream construction contract, and not Bulgaria’s compensation.

      So, the quotation of Argus fip Western Siberia on Monday was equal to minus 1007 rubles, and on Tuesday it amounted to minus 1200 rubles per ton. This quote applies when the seller is obligated to deliver the goods to the Western Siberia pipeline at his own expense. The unprecedented drop in oil prices has led to the fact that now the cost of transportation for the seller exceeded the cost of the oil itself.

      this is a sharp drop - one-time, then quotes rose, the state is bad - who can’t predict this !!!

      It is Russia that sells gas for Belarus at $ 127, and in Europe it already cost $ 90 in February. And there are still many, many examples that cannot be refuted by any nonsense about the fact that Russia contains someone.
