Danish Press: All Europe in Putin's Hands

76

In Europe, underground gas storage facilities are half-empty, gas prices are breaking records, and Russia fully controls the supply of blue fuel to the European market. On the eve of cold weather, all of Europe is in Putin's hands, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten believes.

The Russian state-owned company Gazprom is now the largest supplier of natural gas to Europe. Despite the accusations of some European politicians, Russia is fulfilling all its obligations and is supplying gas within the framework of the concluded contracts. However, in anticipation of the onset of cold weather, gas storage facilities in Europe remain half empty.



Russia traditionally supplies gas to Europe through Belarus, Poland, Ukraine, as well as pipelines running along the bottom of the Black and Baltic Seas. With the commissioning of the new Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, Russia will be able to supply natural gas to Europeans directly, bypassing intermediaries such as Ukraine or Poland. According to forecasts, the share of Russian gas in the European market may exceed 50%.

Currently, Gazprom's main supplies are made within the framework of long-term contracts, where all obligations are fulfilled. However, most of the gas in Europe they want to receive within the spot market, i.e. short-term contracts, but here Russia has no obligations. It would seem that the rise in gas prices should have pushed Gazprom to increase supplies and earn more money, but this did not happen.



In the opinion of the publication, the relationship between Russia and Europe is to blame. In the EU, I consider Russia a geopolitical adversary, while in Moscow they want the parties to become partners. If the attitude changes, Russia could supply even more gas. As an example, the publication cites Nord Stream 2, with the launch of which Russia could increase gas supplies.

The publication believes that it is about "open" political pressure and blackmail used by Russia to push its interests. But even if Brussels does not succumb to it, the gas crisis puts Europe in Putin's hands.

    Well, now, as they write in the press, GAZPROM supplies only 35% of the gas demanded by the European Union. Let the suppliers of the remaining 65% increase their supply volumes. They are clearly friends of Europeans. Why do they want something from "Mordor"? They themselves declared him an enemy ...

      The share of spot pricing in Gazprom's long-term contracts exceeds 80%. Fully fulfilling its contractual obligations, the Russian Federation receives excess profits. It will supply gas in excess of the contracts, i.e. will reduce the deficit, then spot prices will fall and is this necessary? laughing And winter is coming. And the storage facilities are not full. Winter will be fun.

          In the most direct way. Previously, gas prices in long-term contracts depended mainly on oil prices. Last year, Europe decided that it was not market-based and that spot prices should be taken into account. That is exactly what Gazprom did. Which is kind of the same as "putting the cart in front of the horse."

            Sasha, I'm sorry, but it's hard to understand with a technical education. Today, we signed a contract for 15 years at the price of XX units. You started receiving it tomorrow. A week later, the spot price became XXX units. You will pay XXX units
            1. +10
              20 October 2021 20: 54
              You will pay XXX units

              Of course not. But, in the contract, the specific price of XX is not indicated, a tricky formula for calculating the price is indicated, according to this formula, the price is recalculated once a quarter or something (just recently they had to recalculate again). And the most significant parameter in this formula now is the spot price, just not for yesterday, and not the peak price, but the average for a certain period, I'm afraid to be mistaken, either the last 3 quarters or 8 months.

              Thus, Gazprom in its budget at the beginning of the year counted on the average annual average European price of 170. For half a year, the price increased to an average of 240, but in October again they had to recalculate and count something in the region of 300-400 ... the average for Europe, because each consumer actually has a slightly different price, the formulas may even differ - the most successful, Serbs, for example, are still counted according to oil prices and not according to spot prices. And in my opinion, the Hungarians also have a link to oil in the recently concluded contract, which, in general, is logical.

                The Norwegians are cutting production due to the development of deposits. Poland can physically go over, but physically, again, there is no gas. And in the next five years, the volume will drop by a quarter.
                Again, drug addicts from Holland are shutting down deposits due to seismic activity. Well, they don't want to "gurgle" into the possession of Neptune ...

          Gazprom tied the price of gas in long-term contracts with European companies to the spot market at the request of the Stockholm Arbitration wassat The contract is for 10 years in terms of the volume of delivery, and the arbitration has forbidden to establish a fixed price and does not matter, as it is written in the contract. The guys just hoped that the prices would drop due to competition (there is American LNG), but they were like ... wassat The lawsuit was filed and won by the Polish company PGNiG (thanks to them), they say, to take market conditions into account in the contracts, and the court ordered this.

              Exactly. The Stockholm arbitration, consider, crossed out the price prescribed in the contracts, and obliged it to be tied to the spot. But even in contracts, as a rule, the price was not rigidly prescribed, but it was adjusted depending on oil prices.

        Dear Mr. Khrych!
        Did they fall from the upper shelf in the reserved seat once or several times? There are NO spot components in Gazprom's long-term supply contracts. Gas prices are linked to oil prices, with a time lag. The Internet, of course, broadcasts any nonsense, but I will stand up for VO, a fat minus to your stupid comment. Write some more crap, and we'll all laugh together. Not from 404 country?

      After all, the blame must be blamed on someone for the current situation in Europe, so "the green ones are trying. Several tasks are being solved at the same time. Green energy is justified by the fact that gas is expensive.
