Kiev wanted to increase the volume of Russian gas transit to Europe

78

Kiev wanted to increase the transit of Russian gas through the Ukrainian GTS. Ukraine has already turned to Gazprom with a corresponding proposal.

Kiev quickly got their bearings and reacted to the statement of the Russian company about the upcoming "difficult season" of gas pumping into European UGS facilities this summer, immediately offering to use the Ukrainian GTS, significantly increasing transit volumes. The operator of the Ukrainian GTS offered Gazprom to allocate additional capacities.



As follows from the proposal, the Russian company only needs to apply with the appropriate application and book additional capacities. However, anticipating that Russia is unlikely to agree to this, Kiev also proposes another option, as long as the country's gas transportation system continues to participate in the pumping of Russian gas.

The second option, proposed by Kiev, involves the sale of gas to European traders on the border of Russia and Ukraine and further transportation of "European gas" to Europe. But even in this case, Ukraine is a winner, since gas goes through its GTS, and you have to pay money for this.

It is not known how Gazprom will react to these proposals, but earlier the company said that there would be no revisions of the contract concluded with Ukraine, and Russia also does not intend to increase the volume of transit gas above that provided for in the agreement. Currently, Gazprom is focused on completing the Nord Stream 2 project.

In turn, Kiev fears a decrease in the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine, since in this case the GTS will no longer generate income, but will start operating at a loss. And this means minus about $ 3 billion, which the "aggressor" pays.

          In fact, all deliveries of refined products from Russia to Ukraine have been stopped since April 1. Crude oil shipment was stopped even earlier. I don’t know if the daddy ships the solarium to Ukraine or not, but given their keen interest and participation in the attempt to "democratize" Belarus, I think that it is not either.

        Meanwhile, there is information about Gazprom's appeal to Ukraine:
        On April 19, Operator GTS of Ukraine held an auction on the Hungarian RBP platform for the sale of daily capacities for the coming month of May. The entire reservation of 15 million additional cubic meters was bought by Gazprom. In other words, the Russian holding will be forced to increase pumping over the contract, overpaying huge amounts to the Ukrainian budget.
        In general, according to the holding, only the first quarter of the export of "blue" fuel broke the record and amounted to a positive delta of 28% compared to last year's figures. Only such "records" are very expensive, since a very expensive, forced transit through the GTS of an unfriendly Ukraine costs an unreasonable amount, and the purchase of additional capacities makes it completely "golden"

          Meanwhile, there is information about Gazprom's appeal to Ukraine:

          So, unfortunately, this data has been already from the beginning of the year
          Now, taking into account the additional capacities booked by Gazprom for May 2021, the total transit volume through the Ukrainian GTS should be 124 million m3 / day. This is almost the same as in April 2021, since the beginning of which Gazprom has been pumping through the Ukrainian gas transportation system an average of 124 million m3 / day, completely choosing the booked volume. In January 2021, Gazprom pumped through the Ukrainian gas transportation system an average of 124,51 million m3 / day, in February - 104 million m3 / day, in March - 119,5 million m3 / day. https://neftegaz.ru/news/transport-and-storage/674352-ne-dopustit-zaversheniya-severnogo-potoka-2-operator-gts-ukrainy-zayavil-o-sokrashchenii-tranzita-ro/
          But this is still less - 65 billion m3 of gas in 2020 (178 million m3 / day); the fact that "the purchase of additional capacities makes it even" golden "" when booking additional capacities for a month to the price + $ 6 ($ 38 instead of 32)
          As a result, Ukrainian transit has sagged even more this year. It decreased by almost 650 million cubic meters - to 10,46 billion cubic meters. At the same time, the lost income of the Ukrainian GTS operator amounted to more than $ 120 million compared to the first quarter of last year.

      Well, you are so! Just shutting off the transit is to "turn off" the system, but leaving it to work at a minimum ... a real loss! European partners, having signed a contract for transport, will shake their whole souls out of Naftagazniki! The system then works "at full" (well, almost), the costs are correspondingly high, and the profit depends on the amount of pumping a penny ... Zrada, however!

And Germany is still struggling for our SP-2 precisely because we are reliable suppliers. Why make ill-considered proposals?

        Here the problem is slightly different. According to the current agreement, we must pump the established volume of gas in 5 years. In my opinion, 60 billion in the first year and 40 billion for the next four, only 200 billion cubic meters. The agreement is drawn up in such a way that even if we completely stop transit through Ukraine, we will still have to pay the amount of the contract, as for the entire pumped volume. It turns out that they will get their money anyway. Now they are trying to persuade Gazprom to pump gas in excess of the established volume and, having received additional babos, still make a "feint with the ears" ie pump gas oil into your UGS facilities for the next wintering. "reverse" is no longer so available. So yes, the only thing that can be achieved now by stopping transit is to hit your own reputation as a reliable supplier in the eyes of Europe. An interesting thing will begin after the SP-2 is put into operation.

I think that no one will undertake to restore it in the near future.

          To do this, someone needs to pay for this gas. Ukraine itself does not want to buy. European UGS facilities that belong to Europeans, they will fill for themselves during a period of low prices. There is nothing to say about Gazprom's. In general, it is difficult to discuss this topic without real agreements. So far, the network has only an agreement with Ukraine.

            So they didn't buy it laughing The turbines are pumped in one direction, and to organize the reverse, it is necessary to carry out additional work on the reverse gas supply outside the existing pipeline, i.e. laying the return pipe section. So they scooped dill directly from the transit pipe and called this action "reverse", and the "reverse" money was conscientiously shared with a participant in the scheme, who allegedly blew gas with an extra charge in the opposite direction. The extra charge went into your pocket, and the gas was driven at (conditionally) $ 200 per thousand cubic meters, and so it was driven.

            European, these are European, and UGS facilities in Ukraine are intended not only for their own supply, but also for pumping into the system during peak gas consumption in Europe, because Europe has paid for it and is simply stored in a Ukrainian UGS facility.

From pumping 1000 cubic meters per year with payment at the average European price, Gazprom will not become poorer :). And if for this 1000 Ukraine will put up lam bucks, then this is an iron reason to stop pumping altogether until the price is reduced.

        There is no dough - the agresor is evidently, the loot is there - the agresor is not visible.

    Literally the day before yesterday I read at the UE that Gazprom requested an increase in gas pumping volumes.

    This is how I see it: 1942, the battle for Stalingrad and Hitler offers Stalin to supply Germany with oil and coal. Well, what's in the heads in Ukraine? And where is the "aggressor"?

    Guys, look wider.
    This is an offer from the Ukrainians to buy the opportunity to seize Donbass by force.
    They say we give you money, and you do not bother us to carry out an offensive.

    Only now the deal offered by Ukraine is not profitable for the Russian Federation

      Why is it not profitable? In the current contract, the volume is indicated as not less than 40 million, if memory serves. The earlier this minimum is pumped, the earlier the contract will be executed.

    I don’t understand for 7 years whoever we were from “aggressors” to “dastardly murderers” and have heard enough of how poor and unhappy Ukraine single-handedly “saves” Europe, but that there is Europe the whole world from insidious Russia but deep. relations work, migrant workers are busy, trade goes through Belarus, gas is pumped (don’t try to stop it). So we have a war or where ??? Or do we have a war only where it is beneficial for Ukraine?

    So it seems like the principle of guaranteed payment for a certain volume, even if they actually pump less. They want to pump more and, accordingly, get money. And it looks like Ukrainian UGS facilities are empty - they also need to be filled, but whose gas will be in them is the question ...

    Kiev wanted to increase the volume of Russian gas transit to Europe


    It was too late, it was necessary to fuss before, we could drive almost the entire volume of European gas through ourselves, but they wanted to panic, so blame your health ...

    SBU of Ukraine has already hurried in advance, raids are going on in Kharkiv

    The SBU simply portrays the ebullient activity and catches "separatists, Russian spies, and FSB agents"; it does not smell of any people's republics.

    Now this is quite simple. A neighbor can call the SBU and say that it seems to him that his neighbor is a Russian spy. And that's all, the brigade is on the road. They will not be shot, but they can detain another for a year, and they will drink blood during this time notably. This, unfortunately, is not a horror story. This is at the level of legislation. 37 in all its glory.
