Russian gas warning

According to the National Bank of Qatar, the proven reserves of natural gas in this country reach 25,06 trillion. cubic meters. Experts have calculated: such reserves allow a small state to produce gas in the current considerable volumes for as many 160 years.

As indicated correspondent ITAR-TASS Vitaly Makarchev, the main reserves of Qatari gas are located in the North Field offshore field. In 2012, Qatar produced 420 million cubic meters of gas. Since 2006, this country has been holding the world championship in the export of liquefied natural gas. Last year, Qatar supplied 77 million tons of blue fuel (almost all of the LNG produced by it) to foreign markets, which amounted to 31% of the global export of liquefied gas.

There are reports that the Arab state is considering the issue of building a strategic gas pipeline to the European Union. He will pass through Syria and Turkey.

An unnamed employee of the City of London noticed in an interview with a correspondent. ITAR-TASS:

“The events now taking place in Syria, Qatar’s wide and intensive support for the Syrian armed opposition, is largely determined by the fact that Qatar is seeking to enter the EU’s internal gas market and become a strategic supplier of fuel to the EU.”

Thus, it became clear yet another reason for the war in Syria, and at the same time the reason why Qatar is actively arming the Syrian militants and opposing Bashar al-Assad.

Journalists sounded the alarm: with Qatar gas competition in Europe, what will happen to Russia?

Yuri Levykin (Utro.ru) writes that the basis of the Russian economy - gas exports - may soon be under threat. Indeed, thanks to close cooperation with Exxon Mobil and BP, Qatar has the most advanced technologies in the field of gas production and liquefaction.

In addition, Qatar is able to lead in the export of LNG, which has its own transport fleet, consisting of ultra-modern gas tankers with a displacement of up to 270 thousand tons.

Finally, relatively easily recoverable gas reserves with a relatively small population of the country provides Qatar with annual economic growth in more than 10% (one of the best indicators in the world).

According to Yu. Levykina, Qatar, which is developing new gas markets, is already beginning to compete with Russia in Europe. Qatari LNG and the shale revolution are one of the main reasons for Russia's defeat in the liquefied gas market, the journalist writes.

Moreover, there are unfounded assumptions that Qatar is about to enter the European markets with natural pipeline gas. And such a circumstance can inflict a crushing blow on Russia's energy power.

“... Due to the lower cost of Qatari gas, the entire system of gas supplies to Europe, built by Gazprom for years, could collapse. And for this, Qatar does not need to completely squeeze it out of the European market. The appearance on it of even insignificant volumes at a lower price than that of Gazprom will force the Russian monopolist to lower the price tag and change the terms of the contracts. However, unlike Qatar, with its cheaper gas and modern extraction technologies, the possibility of a price war with a Russian supplier is seriously limited. ”

The coming attempt of Qatar to enter the European market with pipeline gas is indicated by the assumptions of many analysts who link the events in Syria with the desire of Qatar and its influential allies to build a gas pipeline to the Mediterranean Sea bypassing Iran. The latter, due to political reasons, is the main limiter of the Qatari gas expansion. Therefore, Qatar is interested in a bypass pipe passing through Syrian land.

In the case of the fall of Assad, the journalist writes, Qatar will have the opportunity to bring the gas pipe to the Mediterranean Sea, and then take it to Europe. And then there will come sad consequences for Russia.

But it cannot be said that the dangers of such a development of events were not realized in the Kremlin. This, the author of the material notes, and its rather tough position on Syria is substantiated.

Another Russian gas warning came from Skolkovo. Roman Markelov (Rossiyskaya Gazeta), referring to the research data of the energy center of the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo, writes that by 2020, Russia risks completely giving the LNG market to its competitors if it does not introduce new production facilities.

According to the report's authors, the prospects for the Russian LNG market for the next seven years are no more than 6% growth. Moreover, this indicator will be able to provide only the timely commissioning of Russian plants.

If this does not happen, then, as analysts say, Russia's share in the LNG market will be reduced to two percent. Meanwhile, following the results of 2012, the Russian Federation occupied the 8-place in the world with a market share of 4,5%. Recall in the first place - Qatar.

As for the demand for liquefied natural gas in the world, analysts predict its growth. The largest consumers of LNG are Japan and South Korea. Europe will not lag behind in gas purchases: in the Old World, the demand for LNG will more than double in 2020 year. Global demand for this time is estimated by experts at 400 million tons per year. And by the year 2030 - even in 500 million tons.

Competitors of Russia on the world stage are Australia and the United States. In the next six to seven years, these countries may increase production capacity to 580 million tons per year.

The researchers conclude that the main thing for LNG suppliers is to closely monitor the timeframes for the introduction of new production capacities and the timeframes for concluding gas supply contracts. The journalist quotes experts:

"Any projects that will not be able to provide a source of demand for the period 2016-2020 for some period of time may be outside the market."

Against this unfavorable background, the president of the Russian Gas Society, Valery Yazev, also singled out among others the Qatari factor. Alexey Tsypin and Denis Dubrovin talked with him (ITAR-TASS, Moscow - Brussels).

Skeptical about the “shale revolution,” Valery Yazev said that in terms of competition with Russian gas, Australian, Iranian and Qatari gas are significant on the market today.

He further noted:

“We are not afraid of competition. As you know, Gazprom in the European gas market is in a situation of tough competition between the largest suppliers of natural gas and at the same time occupies a leading position. These positions no one brought on a plate. This is the result of effective work ... "

In the article "Is Qatar waiting for a cloudless future?" ("Le Huffington Post", France; source of translation - "InoSMI") Benoit Margot, consultant and specialist in Middle Eastern geostrategy, writes that Qatar was lucky. But, proceeding precisely from this very luck, the achievements of Doha are prematurely called sustainable.

Extremely favorable conditions have been created for the dizzying takeoff of tiny Qatar. At the disposal of this state are: 1) gas; 2) Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, who for years 20 embodies his country's international ambitions; 3) is a deep economic crisis of the Western capitalist world that originated in the USA in 2007 year. Qatar’s hand and the current absence of a regional leader is due to the “Arab Spring”.

Since the beginning of the global financial crisis, the volume of Qatari investment in Europe has steeped upward. The influence of Doha in the Maghreb and in the Middle East reached its apogee from 2011.

“At the moment, the traditional Atlantic powers are losing ground in the Persian Gulf. Egypt was in a state of permanent revolution. Saudi Arabia and Algeria are gerontocracies under general anesthesia. Libya can’t find the way to the future. An explosion is brewing in Iraq, and Syria is heading for the abyss of self-destruction.

In such conditions, smart Qatar decided to take an empty place ... "

Today, Qatar is trying to prepare the ground for the future in order to secure a solid place in the international arena. In 2008, the Qatar-2030 program was launched. The emirate intends to circumvent foreign countries in the field of technology through the development of new sectors of the economy. Qatari also closely monitor the market for raw materials.

What is the weakness of the plans of Qatar?

The emirate, the expert writes, may lose its trump cards, as well as pay a high price due to a change in trends in the international arena. Gas market prices can go down. The shale gas boom will affect the competitiveness of Qatari gas, especially considering the weak diversification of its customers. Asian consumers can reorient themselves to Australia, which has every chance of ousting Qatar from the first place.

As for Europe, local customers may consider the recently discovered deposits in the eastern Mediterranean as well as future projects in Russia to be preferable.

Another risk factor: the Emir of Qatar, apparently intends to soon leave power. His health deteriorated, and he was about to hand over the throne to Crown Prince Tamim. A son can not boast of charisma or political vision of his father, the journalist writes. In addition, there is also the “gray cardinal”, the rival of the emir - his cousin Hamad bin Jaber Al Thani, who is now combining the posts of prime minister and minister of foreign affairs.

But the main thing is the geographical location of the country. This small and arid country, reminds the author of the material, almost completely relies on other states in ensuring their security, food needs and even labor.

The tiny Emirate is dependent on the favor of foreign patrons: in exchange for security, Qatar may turn out to be a US-Saudi protectorate. The Emir, according to Benoit Margot, must think about the precedent of neighboring Kuwait, which was never able to recover from the Iraqi invasion of 1990.

Let's sum up. Qatar turned out to be both an economic and geopolitical rival of Russia. In the gas issue, he ambitiously aimed at ousting Gazprom from Europe, and politically - at shifting Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Both targets have a gas background. And what about Russia? By not letting the West and the monarchies of the Gulf tear apart Syria, it takes care of its own economic security.

In any case, Qatar will become a bargaining chip. Life is not constant, everything goes, everything changes. As soon as the warrior leaves the borders of Syria, all Qatar's ambitions will be covered with a copper basin, together with Qatar itself.

Finally, the Americans turned on the brain and launched an advertising campaign:
Get your natural wealth! Fight each other to reduce their cost! Sell ​​them for nothing! And you won’t have time, and we won’t buy your wealth from you, but buy from others! You won’t have time to market!

Pipeline gas is cheaper. LNG and shale are more expensive. Russia already sells a huge amount of gas. There is nothing to worry about.
And yet, the remark is off topic, Russia should sell gas for Russian rubles, and not for American candy wrappers.

[fartfraer]

"Pipeline gas is cheaper. LNG and shale gas are more expensive. Russia already sells a huge amount of gas. There is nothing to worry about." Ataman, the topic of gas wars is not new and I had a chance to talk with understanding people at one time (let's say economists from the field of gas production). And so, transportation through the pipe is undoubtedly cheaper, but production itself is more expensive in our country.
a simple example is oil (not gas, but I think that the order of the numbers is not very different there. The numbers are not accurate, I say right away, just approximate.) Let's say the world oil price is $ 100 per barrel, production in the Russian Federation (prime cost) -14 (only production , without transportation), and in the United Arab Emirates - $ 4-6. Thus, it can be assumed that in the event of an increase in oil production by trusteeship countries (well, gas, respectively), the price reduction will hit us harder, and given the possibility of (financial) assistance to the Arabs from the states a year and a half, the UAE can live on "debt", while in the Russian Federation there will be a terrible crisis, not only economic, but also political.
it is simply one of the options for the development of further "gas and oil wars".
"Russia is already selling a huge amount of gas. There is nothing to worry about." - sells to Europe and China (mainly). If Europe jumps off the Russian pipeline (and the price of gas falls), then one should not hope that China will take at higher prices - the Chinese will start dictating their prices and the losses will only increase, so there is always something to worry about)

[optimist]

It is high time! I mean, get off ... Oil and gas for Russia now, is all the same as a free heroin for a drug addict. So a sharp drop in prices is the only option for changing the political and social system in the country. Otherwise, putinoids will be eternal ...

[Joker]

I would only be glad if Qatar had pressed Gazprom, and the more serious, the better. Maybe then the government will understand that it is necessary to develop the economy, and not to engage in the sale of resources for green candy wrappers. Although as usual the people will suffer, the baryg always have all the same.

Unfortunately, this is nonsense. In fact, our "oil needle" is the greatest blessing that has helped pass us through the collapse of our old system.
The only source of escape from the "needle" is the initiative of our citizens and their entrepreneurial spirit, and oil and gas revenues are an excellent stimulator of growth in other sectors of the economy. If the country does not have an excess amount of money, then modern infrastructure, the necessary conditions for the development of the economy, will never be modernized and built. And there will be no demand for the services of all sectors of the economy, at least effective demand. We must not wait for it to fall from the sky, but simply build our own business today, while oil and gas give a respite to our country.

You, dear, do not seem to know the realities of life in Russia. And the reality is this: until a fried bird pecks in one place, a man will not scratch oneself.

And then on one (not perfect) day, prices fall: the plebs goes out onto the street with a pitchfork and plunges their authorities into the loin.

You are naively reasoning and embittered in your words. But you are not angry with those people and not the events that made you so.
What plebs pleases is all the social guarantees in our country, pensions and benefits, without which the lives of most of our citizens could simply end. Oil and gas are sold for a reason and to extract these resources geologists and drillers. Builders and engineers work in seven pots, all this is given for a reason. And not for sale for comedies. Each ton of oil that leaves the borders of our state brings to the budget $ 411, plus the company that produces it pays MET and all social taxes for workers. It gives jobs to millions of people and all these people get the money they spend. And already their spending creates around them several rings of economic cycles, which in turn allow tens of millions to earn and create new industries to meet the needs of the whole people.

And when the plebs comes out with a pitchfork, only every third person returns home alive and the guys from the other side are always happy to watch such events in our country.

So do not write nonsense and do not play along with the enemies of your country.

[optimist]

At the expense of anger, you correctly noted. But I’m not embittered because I don’t share the oil and gas pie, or because I am deprived of something. But because I do not want my descendants to live in the land of thieves and bandits. You can tell me for a long time and in detail about the movement of money and resources, but I know one thing for sure: today all this wealth is the curse of Russia. And we have become like the Papuans, who at one time sold themselves and their freedom for cheap trinkets. Clever people in the West have long understood that the worst enemies of the Russians are the Russians themselves. And about "every third" is also not necessary: ​​in the current state of affairs, the Russians themselves will die out in 2-3 decades. So this is another question - who plays along with the enemies ...

Someone has resources and he sells them. Someone has no nichrome, and so he comes up with machine tools and rivets pots from them from resources. These pans are bought by someone who has the resources. Why should Russia become Japan? When can we buy Japan with its pots for our resources? Do not succumb to liberal nonsense about the raw material needle. Russia has been trading resources all its history and there is nothing wrong with that.

Well, you’re more mistaken than you think correctly.
The cost of gas in Russia is much lower than in the whole world. In Russia, there are many already developed fields. Accordingly, and the cost of production is low. Some of the new projects were frozen when gas demand in Europe began to fall.
In Qatar, production is cheaper than in Russia, but the LNG production process and its subsequent degassing cost today about $ 40 per 1000 cubic meters. Of course, all this can be done only on special terminals, of which there are certainly not a few, but still very few, and they themselves are very expensive. In addition, gas must also be delivered somehow, the cost of a gas carrier freight per day reaches from 110t to 350t dollars, depending on the class of the ship.
Of course, there is such a thing as maritime traffic. And to ensure at least 30% of the needs in Europe, a colossal fleet of gas carriers will be needed, which are not yet enough and mainly work for the Asian region. If it is possible to double the fleet of gas carriers, then decades will take to build, then in this case, shipping in the ports of LNG reception will turn into a hellish sight. And if a catastrophe or terrorist attack occurs? What about piracy? The capacity of Suez will not withstand such traffic, there and now ordinary container ships wait for days. There are many drawbacks to the idea of ​​supplying Europe with LNG, and there is only one declared plus. Namely, the price of such gas.
However, just 2 months ago, the spot price for LNG was at $ 450 per 1000 cubic meters, which is much higher than the price of Russian gas.
So this is the picture. Moreover, the orgom share in the cost of Russian gas is severance taxes and duties, rather than technical issues, as is the case with LNG. Therefore, to increase competitiveness, the Cabinet of Ministers can reduce duties and get gas significantly cheaper than competitors in a week. And to reduce LNG, you need to invest billions in terminals and the fleet and wait for returns for decades. So LNG is not a competitor to Russian pipeline gas and will never be able to become such.
However, Qatari LNG is a competitor to Russian LNG, and there are indeed problems here, although this market is not so important for the Russian Federation. The fact is that some gas projects, mainly the Arctic shelf, are very expensive if they are connected to the Russian pipeline system, and the remoteness of some is economically unjustified by distilling such gas thousands of kilometers away and only to the Russian border. For such projects, the creation of LNG plants directly "near the well" is economically justified.

So Russia has something to worry about, however, if it succeeds in reaching an agreement with the DPRK and laying a pipeline to South Korea, and from there to Japan ... then, itself, the other LNG itself will die as an economic failure.

[matross]

I try to avoid thank-you posts, just so as not to mess up the forum. But here, sorry, could not resist. Thank you for the competent, detailed and intelligible justification of your position. By the way, I agree with her. You plus

[fartfraer]

I agree, I may be wrong. By the way, since you are so in the subject do not tell how much it costs to separate oil from "foreign" products (water, etc.)
I was just on watch at the Nizhniy Tarskoye field, there is not very "black gold" running through the pipes, rather dirty water. Well, the costs for shift camps, transport, etc. will be more likely, I think. Although I do not argue with you.

[NOBODY EXCEPT US]

Judging by the comments, you are special ....... only in your calculations did you miss the cost of laying this very pipe and it’s many, many km ..... for some reason you didn’t take this into account and did not take into account that the pipe lies on foreign land who are the friends today tomorrow, there are examples .... we will think that they did this not intentionally due to a misunderstanding .... but in general there were people in the government who said that LNG plants should be done ten years ago, but there are no prophets in our own country ... and the future for LNG .. no one denies this, not even Mueller ....

[Egen]

Quote: NOBODY BUT US

for LNG the future .. no one denies this, not even Mueller

:)) Well, when the Germans LNG was not there :))
LNG should not be seen as a new product, but as a means of logistics. In some cases, the cheaper pipe, in some - LNG. For example, from Australia to Japan you can’t extend a pipe :)
Logistically, LNG is more universal than a pipe - wherever you went there :) But if Europe already has a network of pipelines, anyone will count more than once when it will pay off to build new LNG terminals to replace the pipe.
Gazprom, on the other hand, scratches turnips where to get gas - this is evidenced by the acceleration of regional gasification programs. It is clear that it’s easier to sell on your market, and at the prices set by the state (whatever it wants). IMHO this is good: on the 1 side, we may lose revenue from gas exports, but we may lose it anyway; and with 2, the domestic market is developing: at least someone is investing something in the country, and not FROM.

Quote: fartfraer

if Europe jumps off the Russian pipeline (and the price falls on gas)

So you are led to bourgeois propaganda.
The first one. It does not come off, and every year more and more it sticks.
The second one. OPEC is not interested in lowering prices and the influence of America on it is not unlimited.
The third. This is Russia laying pipelines to China so as not to depend on one buyer.
Fourth. Oil production in Russia is really more expensive and it is of lower quality. But, if desired, Russia can easily plug Qatar into LNG. Cooling the gas to -160 degrees is much more profitable at -30, but not at +50.

[fartfraer]

Until they are profitable, they will not jump off, I agree. But they are looking for other ways of supply, exports will fall.
China is certainly good, I do not argue, but China will take at world prices, not more expensive. Once again, dependence on European markets, etc.
in one I agree, as long as there is no branch of the gas pipeline from Qatar, etc., the competitors in the Russian Federation will not completely lose the market.
and it’s not a matter of propaganda, it’s the loss of monopoly on supplies. let’s not now, in a year, two or three. but this time is very short

And about the "tales" about "cheap" LNG and the "shale revolution" being born, everyone has already understood and realized. And the mega-deposits of any deposits Troll, Leviathan, etc. Only the result is always the same, we need more deposits and more and more and more.

And imagine that peace has come everywhere on earth, stability everywhere, oil and gas supplies to the market have increased accordingly, it is easy to guess that oil and gas prices will collapse. Even the guardianship organization will not be able to restrain the fall, and since the Russian economy is largely supported by the export of oil and gas, in the event of a fall in prices, our economy will face collapse. So no matter how blasphemous it may sound, at the moment we are interested in instability in the oil-producing regions of the world to maintain high oil and gas prices.

[Setrac]

Quote from astra

Imagine that peace has come everywhere on the earth, stability everywhere, the supply of oil and gas to the market has increased accordingly, it is easy to guess that the price of oil and gas will fall down.

It is easy to guess that if world peace comes, the developing and backward countries will begin to catch up with the developed ones, which will cause a sharp increase in energy demand. In addition, the golden billion will lose its colonies - it will lose all markets it controls, which will cause a collapse in the stagnation in the economy of precisely developed countries, which will balance the demand for energy.

[astra]

Setrac
This is also true, but it is in the long run. Wait until the developing countries develop to such an extent that they will allow raising the price of oil and gas for a long time. Our economy at the moment is highly dependent on the price of gas and oil, even the rapidly developing China cannot provide a high oil price with its demand for oil.

So let's develop your thought further, due to the fact that Russia needs much less funds to support its interests, this price difference may not be so terrible for our economy. Saving is the same as making money.

Under their own howling europid.ory would continue to buy Gazprom’s gas, the Americans would not rock the boat for fear of unleashing the 3 World, but their further policy would be based on the lessons learned. Syria would be saved. The authority of Russia throughout the world would increase significantly. As friends, they would take a queue to us, and enemies would dig refuge in the courtyards, as in 80. The world in one day could return to a sustainable balance of power.
Minuses. I do not see them. The possibility of a large-scale war, I think, is negligible. Eurointegration will be covered by the nth - who will cry for it?

How many days pass from the minute when a barrel of oil is pumped out of the ground in Kuwait and delivered to an oil refinery, say in the USA?
I will answer you: From the borehole to the oil tankers to the port 1-3 days (depending on the distance from the port) the average speed of the supertanker = 11 knots (one knot equals 1,852 km / h or 0,514 m / s) up to 500 km per day .From the "bay", which is to the "western", which to the "eastern" coast of the United States, the distance is almost the same 11900-11200 km. Let's add the waiting time for unloading-loading (queue) 1-3 days and loading-unloading time (varies greatly from weather conditions) TOTAL WE HAVE A MONTH on the way !!!
And now the question is: do prices change with the same "tail" or immediately after the "open bazaar" of OPEC members and non-members?

but on the subject, the world market is not regulated by the Russian Federation. and even Gazprom is not in a position to dictate gas prices now. The Russian Federation is not ready for an economic and raw material war. This is my main idea. Most likely, others are not ready for it yet. " players, "however they are preparing.
Well, a personal-small Qatar can possibly afford to live on resources, a big Russia cannot, but it still lives.

Either shale gas, or the omnipotent Qatar with its reserves and pipe to Europe. Of course, there are threats to one degree or another, but IMHO is greatly exaggerated. If Qatar was just to stretch a thread to Europe, then he would have done it a long time ago, but now in the light of Middle Eastern events and the instability of the region, this is generally a very distant prospect. Well, nothing can be predicted about shale gas.

[GELEZNII_KAPUT]

shale gas in this case has nothing to do with it. Qatar is already unfolding in Europe, the threat is not just real, it is practically an open "gas war".
"But now, in the light of the Middle East events and the instability of the region, this is generally a very distant prospect." This just shows that the Russian Federation has very little time left.

It’s easier to put a raw materials appendage in place, so it’s time for a long time to move away from raw materials dependence.

I mean that in a pinch, it would be possible to announce that there was a need to strike at the militant camps in Qatar. And there + \ - miss knock on the fields. well, somehow the Russian Federation could react.
I’ll clarify right away that this is not hatred, just my opinion is, because. I think that the war has been going on for a long time (not only against the Russian Federation, against China, for example, too), and it’s time to use the OVs things in politics (no-fly zones, the struggle for democracy) against themselves, otherwise state agents (Qatar, UAE) will simply be destroyed our economy by order of the Washington Regional Committee at any time

Guys like all the adults here, let's keep normal and not garbage. Where Russia will strike at Qatar and who will let them do it, all these presidian monarchies under the protectorate of the USA and the West, and with it in real, and not as in the case with Georgia, there are huge oil and gas reserves, these countries are leaders in deliveries to Asia. Of course, this blow can bring down the global economy, because a half of the world's supplies will be destroyed, but it’s utopia.
Enough to engage in childishness, but really need to look at things.

[Tektor]

"...From where Russia will strike at Qatar and who will let them do it, all these presidian monarchies under the protectorate of the USA and the West, and with it in real, and not as in the case with Georgia..."
Qatar finances squads of thugs to overthrow the legitimate government of the country in whose territory the base of the Russian Navy is located. - This is a short-sighted step, I would say, Lochovsky, because allows us to openly strike back on the territory of Qatar, despite the fact that there are state bases, with all due respect to them A strike can be struck in three ways: a nuclear mine of 5–50 megatons, previously laid on some vessel passing near Doha, from a submarine, for example, Granite, without entering the bay, from Syria, using a long-range missile, for example, x-32 with Mig 25/31.

[Sirius-2]

This is so straightforward you can’t do. First: Qatar has a military alliance with Saudi Arabia. A missile attack on Qatar automatically means a war with the Saudis and other abominations, such as the United States. Secondly: the top of Qatar are Sunnis, and 90% of the population of Qatar are Shiites. That is what they need to be raised to fight against usurpers. That is, to do it completely since they are arming the Wahhabis in Syria.

[Tektor]

The Saudi monarch is at the stage of clinical death - there is now his own troubles - no-in-turn. The war against the usurpers by the method of financing terrorist fighters is a consequence of the lack of other opportunities, i.e. a sign of weakness. In addition, the decisiveness in the use of force can cool "hotheads" like McCain's.

[fartfraer]

Dear, the use of nuclear weapons is considered frivolous by you, I think. Have you thought about the retaliatory actions of the "allies of Qatar"? It may not even be a nuclear strike, they will simply distribute "dirty" bombs to freaks-terrorists, poison the water in the water supply (say, in Moscow or St. And that's all. Let's try to think more pragmatically, the strike may be without the use of nuclear weapons, but first we need to conduct powerful ideological training both in the Russian Federation and in other countries, otherwise we will look like aggressors. If you noticed, then even states always do this kind of preparation before striking.
the most optimal would be the use of the Libyan-Syrian variant in Qatar. The "opposition" armed with Iran (for example) arranges terror attacks and "popular unrest" there, sabotage at the fields, etc.
nowadays one has to look at things "shirshe", the ethical side of the issue is another matter

[Tektor]

Everything that you have listed is from weakness. Why should we engage in masochism, if everything in the world will be clear anyway? - Idiocy. Well, without the use of nuclear weapons, the states will just think that we will not be able to give them an adequate answer in the "faq" way. In fact, I would simultaneously send similar gifts to Tel Aviv, Ankara and London ... But what, in fact, wait? By the way, the Jews have already understood that they are fighting not with Assad, but with Russia. So let's not "disappoint" them ...

There are half the oil transportation, this gulf feeds gas and non-oil not only Europe well a substantial part of Asia. And the whole world will watch Russia stupidly destroying these reserves undermine the entire world economy and become a monopolist in this area ???

I could not find the phrase right here and now, but I remember its discussion, the meaning or summary of which I set out above. Subsequently, Churkin stated that he was misunderstood ... Diplomat. But the meaning is exactly that.
And I would like to add that glazing Doha and destroying Qatar are two big differences. In one case, something like Hiroshima, and in the other, a coordinated detonation of 3 to 10 charges is required, and so that a nuclear storm, such as a sandstorm, is formed only from a million-degree plasma, which should converge in a place with maximum desired destruction. And for the complete destruction of Turkey it is necessary from 50 such charges, approximately along the perimeter, but at a certain distance inland.

Let them pull to Europe what they want! It’s time for Gazprom to curtail its grandiose plans to squander Russian gas around the world. We have one third of the country’s gas supply, and we are worried about Europe. It is necessary to develop the real sector of the economy and begin full-scale replacement of the share of oil and gas in the export structure with high-tech products, even weapons. And why not, if it really competes in the global market?

[Nayhas]

I fully support! In our village in Siberia, villages are still heated with firewood! The administration of the NSO still has a plan for harvesting firewood for the region for the winter! And the price of connecting gas is generally ..... c! For ten meters of pipe to a private house, 80 thousand rubles, and this is at reduced prices for pensioners!
And there are cities that are heated only by coal, where in winter it is simply impossible to breathe! Abakan and Minusinsk for example, this is damn Siberia too ...

[Ziksura]

Quote: fartfraer

No wonder they climb into the shelves of the Arctic Ocean

Now, if this phrase were not a statement, but a question, then it could be called the first common phrase in this entire forum. Think: Why is there such a fight for the northern shelves? Etc? For example, to get to the resource base of Russia? (The statement that we are already selling them for "candy wrappers" is not entirely correct - the dollar is not disgusting, but even so while the main means of payment, and we use it, even in the West they admit that it is effective). If all these resources, according to "experts" all over the world, are about to be well, just heaps and everything is so cheap. AND???? The future of humanity is a big fight for resources. And not only hydrocarbons. And not stories that soon all and heaps. And there will be "gas wars". There are two defenses: a financial cushion to survive the attack, which a priori cannot be too protracted (it was created, and it is not in vain for this that the entire white-swamp "opposition" shouts, and not for nothing: "We must urgently spend! One life! saving up! "), getting off the oil and gas needle (and this is a strategic, main direction of Russia's economic policy. Yes, this is not very noticeable yet, but this could only be broken with Yeltsin-Gaidar's zeal quickly). And another important point. About "experts". I hope no one will argue that if you want to have good knowledge in any area, you need specialized education and many years of experience in your specialty? And where in Russia do these specialists work in the bulk? That's right at Gazprom. Where do we have the most knowledgeable specialists on the state of affairs in the gas industry? That's right at Gazprom. It’s even curious whether there are any arguments against it. What is Gazprom doing in this situation? Gazprom is increasing its production capacity (I have something to do with this).

[Parabelum]

Qatar has recently begun to feel like ruler of the world, along with the Saudis. This country has an area equal to one TU160 missile load, imagines itself to be the navel of the world. It's time to pull them already.

[knn54]

Parabelum: It's time to pull them already.
Over the past decade, Qatari GDP growth averages 13% annually. Even during the crisis, Qatar's economic growth did not fall below 9%!
Finding an unoccupied niche in the gas industry - the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG), Qatar confidently and very quickly created an impressive infrastructure for its production, liquefaction, transportation and regasification at points of sale. Under the leadership of Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah, Qatar made a significant breakthrough, increasing gas sales from 13 million tons in 2003 to 75 million in 2012. But the fee for the rapid breakthrough of the country is high. Qatar's public debt grew at a no less rapid pace - from $ 10 billion in 2000 to 71 billion in 2011. Ambitious plans also require grandiose investments - Qatar is the first in the world in per capita investment. But even they are not enough - and you have to borrow. The rapid growth of the Qatar economy has turned it into an extremely attractive speculative market - the value of shares of Qatari companies in just three years - from 2006 to 2009 grew from 61,5 to 88 billion dollars. And the presence of a very large share of speculative capital creates a danger - a slowdown in growth will cause a landslide of capital flight. (1)
The economic breakthrough is not supported by adequate military power. The United States is able to protect (and not without problems) the territory of Qatar itself. And there is no one to defend his interests around the world. From a snickering Qatari soldier, that of Mr. ... and a bullet. Special forces are very small in number. Mercenaries from PMCs are able to protect only the most vulnerable spots of a branched transport infrastructure (ports, regasification facilities, tankers, pipelines), which over time becomes more vulnerable to point attacks around the world. (2)
The disloyalty of a large group of the indigenous population and the presence of a huge army of migrant workers. Immigrants from Iran, which make up almost 15% of the indigenous population, are in a very politically constrained situation. They are forbidden to serve in the army in command positions, political activity, significantly limited economic rights. (3)
Here are at least 3 points on which you can beat Qatar, weakening its expansion, and in the case of a serious approach to the problem, it is even possible to bring down its economy.
Under the upcoming agreements with Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, Qatar will create recruiting structures that will select guest workers for work. not only builders and cleaners, and specialists of SPECIAL PROFILES. The latter will undergo “advanced training courses”: including career guidance. These bastards have already shown themselves in the North Caucasus. That is, Qatar destabilizes the situation in the Russian Federation and Russia has a moral right to conduct preparations (SYNCHRONOUS with Iran) for conducting riots in Qatar - we did not start the war. Moreover, the interests of the Russian nomenclature, in which the Qatari sheikhs openly take away a piece of bread, spread with oil and gas, NOW coincide with the state interests of the Russian Federation!
PS It’s good to negotiate with Pakistan Kazakhstan (where Qatar is also sticking its nose) - the supply of the NATO group in Afghanistan STRONGLY depends on the northern route, which is still controlled by Russia, and the route through Pakistan.
A joint speech will make the US think about the zealous defense of Qatar ...

[Piterkras]

Not the people, but the state treasury. Right now, not communism, for the people, but capitalism. This money is not yours. The lip was rolled out.

and comrade Gazprom, is it a private person with a 13% tax? :)

[JonnyT]

Gazprom is OJSC

count:
Gazprom’s revenue in 2011 amounted to 4,736 trillion rubles. This is the official data, but how much more is in the shade?
He paid taxes in 2011 year - 967,2 billion rubles

[fisherman]

... and how many more national projects? ..

[JonnyT]

..... and how much more top managers left)))

But seriously

The number of employees 404,4 thousand people
State controls 50,002% of shares
Dividends (recommended) for 2011 year 8,97 rub per share
Plus Gazprom employs a bunch of related companies, for example, construction.
And the contractors and him do nothing a dime a dozen!
All this money is in the economy of the Russian Federation and naturally, a fall in Gazprom’s income will result in a drop in the economy sector occupied by it!

People do not need to convince! He himself will gladly do it. He will build new plants, research institutes, innovation centers. It is only necessary to say, to allocate resources for this and strictly control the execution.
Only now no one sets goals to get off the needle and no one controls it! They are afraid of losing their influence. All the money allocated for the modernization and creation of new industries are not used by krainge effectively!
Here is a striking example that I myself have encountered.
The state allocated to the MICRON factory that Zelenograd money for new equipment. Our office (and not only ours) prepared a proposal for com on favorable terms with service and support. And the MICRON Management bought everything from the contractor who purchased everything from another contractor who purchased 3 of his contractor !!!! As a result, the cost of equipment increased 4 times compared to our offer. Without service and commissioning !! The equipment stands and doesn’t participate in the production process.
It turned out that the micron’s leadership was clearly told from the ministry to work only according to such a scheme ..... and ..... about surprisingly the owners of the contractor firms were relatives from the ministry !!!
Ordinary people (the level of the beginning of the department) made every effort to modernize as cheaply and efficiently as possible, but they were not given!
Here is a modernization)

But seriously

The number of employees 404,4 thousand people
State controls 50,002% of shares
Dividends (recommended) for 2011 year 8,97 rub per share
Plus Gazprom employs a bunch of related companies, for example, construction.
And the contractors and him do nothing a dime a dozen!
All this money is in the economy of the Russian Federation and naturally, a fall in Gazprom’s income will result in a drop in the economy sector occupied by it!
As for me, it’s neither warm nor hot for me from Gazprom, like most of the Russian population

Kindergarten. By God. I don't even want to comment. Do you want to work at Gazprom? I can arrange it. There are vacancies. Only then do not run away from such a "freebie". Although if you really love to work, are patient by nature, then "wellcome". Only about salaries .... You will be very disappointed.
The main profit of the state from Gazprom according to the "Subsoil Law":
Article 39. Payment system for the use of subsoil
The use of subsoil is paid, with the exception of cases provided for in Section 40 of this Law.
When using subsoil, the following types of payments are made:
fee for participation in the tender (auction) and the issuance of licenses;
subsoil use payments;
deductions for the reproduction of the mineral resource base;
excise taxes.
In addition, subsoil users pay taxes, fees and make other payments stipulated by law, including payments for land or for the water area and a section of the bottom of the territorial sea, as well as payments for geological information about the subsoil. "
To be continued.

Article 41. Payments for the use of subsoil
Subsoil users are charged payments for prospecting, exploration of mineral deposits, their extraction and use of subsoil for other purposes. "
"These payments are collected in the form of one-time and (or) regular contributions per unit of the used subsoil plot or area. The size of regular contributions, as a rule, increases depending on the duration of the work."
The size of payments for mining is determined taking into account the type of mineral, the quantity and quality of its reserves, natural - geographical, mining - technical and economic conditions for the development and development of the deposit, the degree of risk.
Payments for the extraction of minerals are charged in the forms of one-time, as well as subsequent regular payments after the start of production. Their sizes are included in the cost of mining and are determined as a fraction of the cost of extracted minerals and production losses that exceed the standards established by annual mining plans agreed with the state mining supervision authorities. At the same time, payments for the extraction of minerals from the amount of excess losses are charged in double amount.
Payments for the exploration of a mineral within the boundaries of a mining allotment provided to the user of subsoil for the extraction of this mineral are not charged. "

"Article 42. Distribution of payments for the use of subsoil
Payments for the use of subsoil are received in the federal budget, the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and the corresponding local budgets.
Local budgets receive:
payments for the search and exploration of deposits of all mineral resources and payments for the extraction of common mineral resources in the territories of the respective regions and cities;
payments for the use of subsoil for purposes not related to mining;
part of the amount of payments for mining, except for common.
The budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the federal budget receive a portion of the amount of payments for mining operations, with the exception of those for which payment is received only to local budgets.
Payments for hydrocarbon production are distributed in the following order:
local budget - 30%;
the budget of the subject of the Russian Federation - 30%;
federal budget - 40%.
Payments for the extraction of other minerals are distributed in the following order:
local budget - 50%;
the budget of the subject of the Russian Federation - 25%;
federal budget - 25%.
The distribution of payments for the extraction of minerals from unique deposits and groups of deposits of federal significance between budgets of different levels can be set in different proportions. Proportions are established by agreement of all interested parties. In controversial cases, the decision on this issue is taken by the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
Payments for the use of the subsoil of the territorial sea are distributed in the following order:
the budget of the subject of the Russian Federation - 60%;
federal budget - 40%.
Payments for the use of subsoil resources on the continental shelf of the Russian Federation go to the federal budget. "

"When using subsoil in areas where small peoples and ethnic groups live, part of the payments received by the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is used for the socio - economic development of these peoples and groups."

The salary of the master of the drilling rig 120t.r, watch method 1-1, 2-2. Since 2010, there has been a reduction and recruitment of new employees, already "leaner" and the social sector has been cut down. Those who managed to issue a pension now receive a separate Gazprom's pension up to 60000 rubles, plus the usual one. Now you can also earn money, but not like a couple of years ago. And of course you need to work hard in the cold and during the winter.

Let them pull to Europe what they want! It’s time for Gazprom to curtail its grandiose plans to squander Russian gas around the world. We have one third of the country’s gas supply, and we are worried about Europe.

Gold words! And add gas engine fuel. And China is not covered. And also in Asia there are plenty of people who need Russian gas. Well, someone will, and Gazprom will be fine. Maybe not great, but good - for sure. There are far-oooh not fools sitting. But Europe will not jump off one thing from Gazprom gas. There are no fools there either.

[OLDTODD]

I completely disagree with you. Gzprom has long had time to think deeper about what is happening. Europe may not get off Gazprom’s gas, but at the price it will blow. This is what the Chinese are doing now and I think they will succeed. They will bring down prices - the feeder will become poor, and who will replenish? Look at the latest attempts by the government to transfer vehicles to gas, and for the population, the price of gas and the connection to it? You can recall the patterns of equal profitability between exports and domestic consumption. I get the impression that this office is not all happy. But more worried about the supply of gas within the country, geopolitical calculations are certainly good, but we live in Russia!

[pensioner]

Well, attempts with gas engine fuel have just begun. Even if they lead to at least 10% transfer of a / t to gas, Gazprom will need to more carefully consider the gas balance in order to satisfy all demands ...

[pinecone]

In order to pull a gas pipe from Qatar to Europe, it is not necessary to bring down Assad, it would be possible to agree with him. This is a question of ideology. For the Wahhabis and the entire world pedo-community as a whole, the very name of the ruling party in Syria is a sharp knife. "Party of Arab Socialist Renaissance", no more, no less.
A similar party was in power in Iraq under Saddam Hussein.

In fact, if !!! and there are plans to build a gas pipeline from CA and Qatar through Turkey to Europe, then Syria is stopping them, just look at the map.
But something else made fun - LNG supplies to Japan and Korea. Again, we look at the map and go nuts from the distance - Persian Gulf - Japan vs. Japan - Sakhalin (where, incidentally, there is a liquefaction plant, recently bought by Gazprom from Western partners) The Sakhalin - 2 project was presented to foreigners by our beloved first president. The question arises about the feasibility of buying gas from wild e..ey, when Sakhalin and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk are nearby. The imposed contracts are evident in the US allies - the Yap and Koreans. Yapy, by the way, are interested in Russian hydrocarbons, they have repeatedly stated this.
Therefore, the conflict in Syria, if Assad wins, could result in a nice bonus for Gazprom and Rosneft in the form of new contracts for Asians.

Yes, they are not imposed. Firstly, the distance is greater, but the cost of producing Qatari gas is lower. Secondly, it’s stupid to depend on one supplier, the Japs and Koreans are not fools to buy gas only from the Russian Federation, therefore they buy from several, it’s advisable in state security.

[Micex]

This is what the Chinese do - they try to take 10-20% of the required volume from different suppliers. at the same time, China is independent and has its own fields (we are talking not only about hydrocarbons, but in general) to take gas from the Persian Gulf taking into account the geopolitical and geographical characteristics (Iran and the Strait of Hormuz) with a large volume - a minimum is not thought out, and the decision is imposed under pressure.
As for the cost, I agree, but, nevertheless, the primary presence of foreigners in the Sakhalin projects suggests that gas and oil are also cheap there, otherwise they would not have insisted on signing agreements on predatory terms in the 90s

You know there are such things called forced ??? It is clear that if there were closer deposits they would take from there, but the trick is that a lot of the world's reserves are located in the Persian Gulf and it’s clear that many take from there, especially in the case of Korea and Japan these are their allies strategic ally and take from there it
a.
b.this is diversification of supplies.
That is, if I weren’t it right for American influence, the Japanese and Koreans would buy Russian gas one hundred percent ?? Is it stupid and anyone can understand that dependence on one supplier can only be in the case of fraternal relations and it is unlikely that diversification of supplies is reasonable and a pragmatic move. And to say that they say it because of amers is at least naive and stupid.

[Micex]

Regarding the Russian Federation - well, damn it, if there is a huge reservoir of gas nearby - is there any sense to shove it over thousands of kilometers voluntarily, just for the sake of "diversification". There is also vietnam, australia, indonesia and a bunch of other countries that can provide resources and make it possible not to depend on a single supplier. But about the ally of their strategic ally - that's the answer.
I originally led the speech that if the West and their friends settle in Syria, the Far Eastern region of the Russian Federation will benefit from this.

In the interests of the state, they’ll trample even from the moon. Japan is in the top 5 major economies of the world and its consumption is huge. The closest neighbors are not able to provide, especially in Qatar, the largest gas fleet in the world. That is, the thousands of kilometers of piercing are reduced due to low cost.
In short, I propose that the discussion is a cool thing, especially a healthy one, tomorrow I’ll try to find the prices for Qatari and Russian gas for Japan and the volumes of extraction from my neighbors. Then we put a bullet

Qatar turned out to be both an economic and a geopolitical rival to Russia. On the gas issue, he ambitiously aimed at ousting Gazprom from Europe, and on the political one, on ...

It’s okay, the loss of the oil and gas market in Europe will not lead to disaster, on the contrary, it will force the state to focus on science and industry and receive stable profits from them.
It would be logical in general, caring for future generations, to legally ban the sale of natural resources.

[Averias]

And why, gentlemen, Western experts, have you forgotten what is happening in the B.Vostok. The "fire" that is burning there not without the participation of the West cannot be extinguished just like that. What did all these Saudi Arivias, Cathars and others think and think, to whom the idea of ​​a "Great Caliphate" was beautifully "blown" into their ears, Western strategists. The same Qatar (let's fantasize a little), crushing Syria under itself, and indeed B.Vostok, what will it do with the crowds of thugs armed to the teeth? They will not be able to control them, and in fact they are in charge of these scumbags, people are by no means stupid. And won't they really pass by such a tasty morsel as hydrocarbon reserves? If the sheikhs think that they are in control of them because they give money, this is ridiculous. There are a lot of examples when the barrels were turned against the customer. And a new war will begin, only among themselves, a war for the pipe, for the bowels. The gangs will try to control every centimeter of the pipeline, every barrel produced. They don't want to miss out on such a profit. The weapons that they have are more than enough to arrange a bloodbath. And the very idea of ​​a "Great Caliphate" is initially utopian. Well, sheikhs will not walk under one padishah, emir, sultan or whatever. Ambition won't allow. And the West will rub its hands, sell weapons, and gradually tidy up B.Vostok. The agreement that now exists between the sheiks and the West is only a temporary phenomenon. The West will never accept them as equals, never (the same ambitions). Flooding of Europe with migrants, inciting national hatred and so on, all this in order to:
1. Replace US (white) - IMI (cheap slave power, can be manipulated through religion, the ability to survive and be content with little, fanaticism, they are used to living under the master, not literacy).
2. If paragraph 1 fails, then nothing will prevent B. Vostok from becoming a threat to the civilized world (hence the proliferated sects, religious movements, teachings, etc.), the atrocities of migrants in Europe (England, for example, although I doubt it, there is clearly not without special services). We form an opinion - that they are all enemies and animals. That would then calmly start a full-scale war in B. Vostok, and this will not cause condemnation. And then the reservation, B. Vostok will become one colony of the European world.
But this scenario doesn’t want to work - neither in the 1st, nor in the 2nd case. Too many uncontrollable factors. Only one thing is clear - It will all end badly.

[Standard Oil]

I’ll say a hackneyed phrase for a long time that Russia needs to get off the gas and oil needles this time, and secondly, do you seriously think that a cowardly geyropa will reorient from Russia to some Qatar? Qatar is in a too dangerous and unstable region, but it’s not represents no military or political force, and no one can be sure for its future, and the geyropeytsy are afraid to suddenly be without gas in the winter due to a coup or someone invaded its territory. as an additional source, it’s suitable, but it’ll never replace.

[fartfraer]

I think the question is somewhat different — with the help of Qatar, to bring down the price, and oil production in the same Libya does not stop, although there is a crisis and war. It’s just that this oil does not belong to Libyans. What prevents it from following the same pattern in case of a collapse? nothing

[My address]

It means to supply Syria with another Troika battalion of divisions and coastal defense forces with volunteer advisers and the provision of necessary security. Close to Syria to keep a group of ships. It’s nice to mark a couple of generals who distinguished themselves in the war with Georgia. You still have to show your teeth, regardless of the tricks of Qatar, so it is better to do this not clamped in the corner.

In politics, as in chess, any action causes a retaliatory move, in other words, an action - a reaction, until the participant surrenders and does not respond to the opponent’s action. What only the forum participants do not want to send to Syria - right up to special forces, nuclear submarines and nuclear weapons, but not a word about the response ...

[Mr.M]

Um ..
Are my thoughts correct that the full route of the Qatari gas pipeline will look something like this?
Qatar - Saudi Arabia - section of the Red Sea - Israel - Syria - Turkey - EU

[fisherman]

why not directly through Iraq and Turkey (Kurdish areas)?

[Mr.M]

It is also an option. But then what is the need for Syria? The gas pipeline will turn out and bypass it.

Maybe Qatar is interested in the security of the gas pipeline, and therefore confuses the political instability of Iraq? But, again, on the other hand, if (God forbid) Syria falls into the hands of the West, there is no need to talk about stability on its territory either.

Yeah, some thoughts out loud, more questions than answers :)

[Micex]

next to Iran, there’s no need for long-range missiles in order to break up everything if necessary.

[fisherman]

exactly...

missiles are not even needed, but just Kurds are needed,

this is both cheaper and more durable (in the sense that none of Assad's opponents is in a hurry to form Kurdistan) and the Syrian Kurds, as it turned out, are not at all loyal to the "third force" - that is, they are simply fighting for Assad ...

so, most likely, this direct option was already on paper, but ......

when we walked along ravines, the future of the pipeline was covered with copper fog :)

this is an option if the economic component was in the first place ...

if the so-called political factor ruled everything, then the puppeteers still have to calculate, since the project of transferring pipeline gas to European markets, it seems, was only later attributed to political hotties (that is, someone promised Qatar his gas in Europe through the pipe, with the condition pay "geographic costs"))

perhaps

[Nayhas]

Qatar wants to overthrow Assad to pull a pipeline to Europe? What kind of nonsense? It is one thing to agree with a secular regime, albeit another thing, trying to negotiate with it is not clear with whom in a country torn by civil war? And the pipeline through Iraq is easier to pull to Turkey, it turns out closer. Assad’s theme was clearly pulled to the ears by the gas ...

[Mhpv]

How Qatar arose, it will also disappear. It was created to once again bring down the Russian economy, as the USSR economy once collapsed with oil. Now many of those countries themselves are blazing on fire, and Qatar, as soon as it fulfills its mission, one small revolution and all the joy of life will be in the hands of the Anglo-Americans. If Syria falls, Qatar is unlikely to be able to lay the pipeline so easily, because there will begin a struggle of tribes and everyone will tear the other for a piece of cake, you will ensure terror on the pipeline. Yes, Alexander Roman correctly noted. in-all flows, everything changes, and the cubs grow up, too, want to become leaders of the pack.

There will be no bandit formations. On a command from the White House, the military from the El Udeid base will "democratize" Qatar within XNUMX hours, and the sheikhs understand this very well, therefore "they sit straight and do not show off."

But there are a lot of millionaires in Russia, and they all operate exactly the same way.

30 May. Ashgabat concluded a framework agreement on cooperation in the supply of natural gas from Turkmenistan to Turkey. The document was signed following talks between the presidents of Turkmenistan and Turkey, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and Abdullah Gul, who is in Ashgabat on a state visit.

To supply Turkmen resources in the European direction, it is planned to lay a pipeline along the bottom of the Caspian Sea to the Azerbaijani shore about 300 km long, from where fuel can reach Turkey, which borders on European countries. The Trans-Caspian project could become part of several large-scale projects, such as Nabucco, AGRI, Tanap, of which Ankara is an active participant, Trend reports.
Official Ashgabat believes that for laying a pipe along the bottom of the Caspian Sea, whose legal status has not yet been determined, the consent of those parties (Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan) whose territory the project covers is sufficient.
Meanwhile, Russia and Iran believe that the issues of laying pipelines along the bottom of the Caspian Sea should be resolved with the consent of all the littoral countries.

As stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the RF-EU summit in early June 2012, Moscow will not consider legitimate decisions on the Caspian taken without consensus.

One of Gazprom’s problems is that it allowed itself to be drawn into the role of a political club with respect to the attitude of the former Soviet republics.

I read the other day that Ukraine pokvpat Russian gas from Germany to 38 dollars. cheaper than getting from Russia. That is - it is clear that the price of gas for Ukraine is a method of punishment. Such use of the business has led to the loss of Gazprom’s face and the same West will tolerate this until the alternative appears. Remember, not so many litters ago, the United States imported gas - and how it began to produce shale gas - it stopped importing, even if the cost of its gas is more expensive.
