Gazprom refused to book additional capacities for pumping gas through the Ukrainian gas transportation system

104

Gas price in Europe has beaten historical record, exceeding 585 dollars per thousand cubic meters. The reason for this was the actions of the Russian Gazprom.

The Russian company refused to book additional capacities for pumping gas through the Ukrainian gas transportation system for September, thereby raising gas prices by an average of 2,5%.



According to the Hungarian trading platform RBP, Gazprom has booked only 4% of the additional transit capacity, called "hard" or "guaranteed volume", put up for auction by Ukraine for September. Beginning in May, the Russian company bought out the entire volume of guaranteed capacities of 15 million cubic meters of gas per day, but at the same time giving up the non-guaranteed additional capacities that Ukraine is putting up for auction.

Now, instead of 15 million cubic meters, the company ordered only 600-650 cubic meters of gas per day to be pumped through the Ukrainian GTS. This led to a jump in the cost of gas in the European market. If at the beginning of today's trading the cost of the September futures was $ 550 per 1 cubic meters, then after the announcement of the results of the auction the price soared to $ 586,3.

Europe has already accused Gazprom of unwillingness to increase gas supplies amid the approaching cold weather. It is possible that this will lead to a gas shortage before the autumn-winter period. There is also a point of view that Gazprom artificially reduces gas pumping in an effort to show Europe that it cannot do without Nord Stream 2.

      What horror is what is happening with this world, to imagine only gas for 600 euros ... Oh, I accidentally predicted the future, so not cleverly.

        A gas station country ... namely, the United States (right words of Korotchenko), having high prices for LNG, everything is sent to the Asia-Pacific region and there is simply nothing superfluous for the EU. Therefore, the Merkel-Biden deal was a compromise, where ... they did not care much about the young, Ukrainian democracy. LNG prices are multiples of pipe prices, only even higher and that's it ... Asia eats everything up. Usually at this time, the EU, using seasonal cheapness, fills the storage facilities for the winter. And here they do not just fill, but take away the leftovers. Gazprom started repairing SP-1, let's not blame it, but there was an accident at the Gazprom plant "in time". For some reason, Yamal-Europe is not going to increase the capacity, and now the Ukrainian gas transportation system ... Why pump too much when you can pump less but for the same price and also not spend money on transit. There was such a nuclear blackmail, now we see gas blackmail, and even profitable.

                      I saw this in Germany thirty years ago - there were large gas cylinders in the private sector, and it was very profitable, because one gas filling was enough for a long time. I think that in America a similar picture is not a new idea in itself, especially for remote settlements and taking into account the price of electricity.

                        I don’t know how in Germany, but in Russia it is more expensive to heat with liquefied gas than with electricity. I had a 3 kW gas convector from a cylinder powered, 4,5 cylinders per 20m2 burst a month. Refueling one 1000 rub. Total 4500 per month. I went to Leroy, bought a 3,3 kW electric gun, connected it through a thermostat, total less than 2000 rubles per month.

                          Because of the small volume of the balloon, this is ineffective. And when the cylinder is made of a pipe of 1420 mm and a length of 2-3 meters and is installed in the yard, then one charge will be enough there for a long time.

                        Well, this is possible in the USA. There is no stove, but electricity is more needed for the air conditioner. But in Norway, even a millionaire cannot afford to bask in electricity. Burn gas at a power plant, get 50-55 percent efficiency. Transfer it by wire, convert it and turn it back into heat ... Hmm .... It's easier to heat boiling water on gas and deliver it in pots - there are less losses. Therefore, wealthy Scandinavians on the ranch have personal boilers on waste engine oils, rags and sawdust .... Losses in a pipe from a thermal power plant do not exceed 30% even on soaring, hissing pipes from the times of the USSR. Which, moreover, usefully warm dogs, homeless people and basements with entrances for free.

                      Efficiency with gas heating is 2 (or even more) times LOWER than with electric heating. Only to obtain this electricity, you need to use steam turbines (both at thermal power plants, at nuclear power plants), and they have an efficiency of about 40%.
                      For the price, gas and electric heating are approximately equal. I speak with professional knowledge of this matter.
                      The United States is supplied with gas one and a half times less than Russia. And the EU countries lag behind Russia by 4 times in gasification.

                        A low-power boiler loses a maximum of 20% of its heat with flue gases. That is, 80% of the heat of combustion of the fuel goes to heating the house.
                        An energy boiler has the same losses somewhere at the level of 5%, which is 15% more profitable, right? Alas, at least 40% of heat is lost during the production of electricity. In total, 45% of the heat is lost in the production of electricity. To heat a house with gas means to lose at least 25% less heat.
                        It is more profitable to heat with gas by a quarter) This is something like a principle PROFESSIONAL calculation. The actual calculation will also take into account the accompanying losses of the energy redistribution, which will add, roughly, another 10 percent, so it is generally more profitable to heat gas by 35 percent.
                        Everything else goes beyond the energy sector, and already depends on the gas tariffs set for power plants and private consumers, as well as electricity tariffs for private traders. This is a different calculation, here you need the profession of an accountant. Something I do not observe in your answers either an engineering approach or an accounting one))

          Where did you see the gas blackmail? It is Europe that presses on us, demanding compulsory pumping through Ukraine, which is not at all profitable for us, since Ukraine has hammered the price for pumping to the maximum. It is much easier and cheaper for us to supply directly to the consumer, without intermediaries. But Europe has come up with rules for itself, according to which the volume of gas pumped through the Nord Stream is limited. Now the noose, which they invented for themselves, made, and hung around the neck slightly tightened. And where is our blackmail here? I don’t like to take gas from us, take it from Scandinavians or from Asia, Africa. We did not arrange blockades for anyone, the choice is up to the consumer.

In August a day, Gazprom pumped 124 million cubic meters a day through Ukraine, in September it will be 110 million a day. And no violations of the contract for Ukraine 40 billion a year. Germans and Norgi analysts saw the light of gas. Europe, for its indulgence of Russophobia, sits on a kukan at Gazprom, and everything is legal. And winter is getting closer every day. Gazprom has increased the pumping through the Turkish stream 2 times, and fills its storage facilities in Russia. This price is not yet the limit.
