Will there be European gas for Ukraine now?


November 2013 will be remembered for Ukraine’s hard decision making process: either comply with the conditions of the European Union and sign an association agreement with the European community, or take steps to come closer to Russia.

21 November 2013, the Ukrainian parliament did not pass a bill allowing Yulia Tymoshenko to travel to Germany for treatment. Thus, Kiev has not fulfilled the key conditions of the EU. There was a real threat of the EU refusing to sign an association agreement with Ukraine. And most importantly, the result of the Parliament’s loud discussion of the adoption of EU requirements was the announcement by the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers of a decision to suspend preparations for signing an integration agreement with the EU, as well as to continue the process of developing mutually beneficial economic relations with the CIS countries and Russia.

But, despite these changes in the position of the Ukrainian authorities, problems with the supply of Russian gas to Ukraine still remain a stumbling block between the two countries.

In one of the editions of The Wall Street Journal it is said about the consent of the Brussels officials to issue the necessary documents allowing Kiev to receive natural gas from Europe. It is assumed that the supply will be carried out on the territory of Slovakia by the gas transmission company Eustream. Europeans believe that this step can serve as a rapprochement between Ukraine and the European Union.

And although Europe does not have Russian sources of supply of natural gas, now it’s about sending gas to Ukraine obtained by European customers under contracts with Russian Gazprom. Considering the difference in prices for the supply of Russian gas to Ukraine and Europe, it is possible that the price of such re-exported gas from Slovakia will be less than the cost of natural gas supplied by Gazprom to Ukrainian consumers.

The situation with the supply of natural gas to Ukraine by Europeans is quite plausible. First, lately, gas consumption by Europeans has been decreasing, and European countries can “share” part of natural gas with their, possibly, future strategic partner. Secondly, the Europeans do not want to pay penalties to Gazprom for the gas that has not been extracted, since the principle of the existing agreements with Gazprom is “take or pay”. It turns out that, helping Kiev with supplies of relatively cheap gas, Europe also helps itself.

The publication of The Wall Street Journal claims that the documents regulating the re-export of Russian gas to Ukrtransgaz are ready for signing, and Slovak operators are preparing to accept applications from Ukrainian consumers. Despite the fact that the first applications may be received in December of this year, the delivery itself will begin no earlier than the autumn of 2014.

It is possible that, in anticipation of these supplies, Ukraine may use the existing supply of its underground gas storage facilities to reduce losses from the lack of natural gas.

According to Ukrainian Energy Minister E. Stavitsky, it is planned that from Europe through the territory of Hungary and Poland, Ukrainian consumers will be able to receive about 7 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year, and through Slovakia more than 10 billion cubic meters annually - and these supplies will fully cover the country's needs in the import of blue fuel. These words are hard to believe, because, for example, in 2011, Ukraine needed to purchase 40 billion cubic meters of gas, which allowed it to provide only 60% of its need for the country. As far as the official is right, considering it possible to significantly reduce gas imports to 18 billion cubic meters. without damaging the country's economy, time will tell.

Currently, the Ukrainian authorities are already taking measures to increase their own production of natural gas.

Interestingly, in the pre-war years 87% of gas produced in the USSR came from the Carpathian region. But subsequently, gas production in Ukraine began to decline due to the development of new fields in the eastern and central part of the Soviet Union. Experts believe that Ukraine has considerable potential reserves of hydrocarbon fuel, but most of which are not yet available for production for economic and technical reasons.

It can be considered that the establishment of natural gas re-export from Europe to Ukraine will bring Kiev closer to joining the EU. But it is also possible that such a step is a way of pressure on Russia in the matter of reducing the cost of Russian gas supply.

      It turns out that Europeans do not see prospects in this matter in their own court. And what is Ukraine counting on? It seems that Ukraine does not at all recognize the contractual penalty for the shortfall as a debt.

            On the eve, it became known about an unscheduled meeting between the main leaders of the fate of the Ukrainian people (without representatives of the latter) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the head of the EU and Vladimir Putin.
            If we discard verbal husk, then this is probably the most important event of the year: Putin’s and Georgy’s old geopolitical dream comes true to discuss the fate of Ukraine (and its interests in Ukraine) without the participation of Kiev and Brussels.
            Alternatively, the association of Ukraine will take place, but with changes in the text of the agreement (preventing rapprochement with the CU, but without joining) and, importantly, the association will take place with Putin's consent.

              If you make changes to the text of the association document that will not harm Russia, then the whole meaning of the association is lost (if you look at it from the European Union). After all, their goal is not to trade with Ukraine even on equal terms, their goal is to destroy and enslave Russia's closest ally.
              Yes, even if we assume that the document will be signed with the participation of Putin, then in any case it will harm Russia, both in terms of image and in economic terms.
              But Ukraine will now win in any situation, with the exception of joining the European Union on the same terms, but this is apparently no longer possible

            I think it was Putin who broke up the EU. Remember the topic on Topvar "Putin's Ukrainian calmness"? Then all of us here expressed the assumption that the GDP has everything calculated, seized and decided. I will assume that the result of European integration (at least in the near future) was a foregone conclusion. We were just playing to the audience.

    Re-export to Ukraine will not help. It will end sooner or later. Then either turn to Russia again, or get it by ourselves. Ukrainian politicians say all the time that Ukraine is full of gas. So let them get it. By this time, Gazprom will deploy gas transportation to Asia.

They will store gas there that is profitable for them and which is cheaper. And how can German storage facilities be tied to the South Stream.

                According to the old gas transportation system, yes, it has been so technologically laid down since the times of the USSR as a unified transport system, well, the North and South Stream will work quite without Ukraine, here the Serbs are already scurrying around, so it's a matter of time to build. Russia doesn’t work with liquefied gas with Spanish ski instructors.

      And the most important question that no one asked - why is the price of gas for Slavic, Orthodox, non-aligned Ukraine, where the largest number of Russians live abroad, is higher than for the NATO, Catholic and other hostile faiths, the Anglo-Saxon and with them "Geyrope" ...

      This price was requested by Tymoshennitsa ... She then screamed at every angle about the next overpower and turned the figs towards Russia. Now you are eating the fruits of this overpower.

          And Yanukovych has been asking for a reduction for many years. Even he signed the Kharkiv agreements, but they threw him banally. By the way, his words.

            Now Russia is actively drowning Yanukovych. Do they really not understand that if oranoids seize power, then no one will recognize the legitimacy of the Kharkov agreements.
            And the Kumu / Medvedchuk / presidency shines only if the Russian military stands at all polling stations.

      And what were you thinking about when you signed the contract? Oh yes, then the oil prices were lower. As I remember, one of your leaders said that a price of $ 120 should be fair
      And still tell me why at a gas price more expensive than in Europe, do you personally pay less than in Russia? Does Naftogaz work at a loss?

        “And now, tell me why, when the price of gas is more expensive than in Europe, do you personally pay less than in Russia?” - everything is simple, for the needs of housing and communal services, gas is produced of its own.

      Brotherly love - it is worth a lot.
      Sometimes it seems that Gazprom is not serving Russia, but Russia, headed by Putin, is serving Gazprom.
      How else can one explain that for the sake of Gazprom’s short-lived superprofits, Russia so lost its position in Ukraine?

    A bit on the gas topic >>

    MP Zatulin calculated the benefits of Kiev from joining the CU
    State Duma deputy Konstantin Zatulin is confident that if Ukraine joins the Customs Union, the price of gas will be reduced to $ 169 per 1 cubic meters. m. This Zatulin said in Simferopol.
    "We say that we will sell gas to Ukraine at the price at which we sell to Belarus. Now the price of gas for Belarus is 169 dollars per thousand cubic meters. m At the same time, for Ukraine - $ 400. According to economists' estimates, taking into account the gas consumed by Ukraine, it turns out 6 billion a year, "Zatulin said.
    Another point of preference for Ukraine, Zatulin called the abolition of import duties on oil products

      But if you look, then why the state should deal with the supply of gas for privately owned enterprises. These are the problems of the enterprises themselves. It’s just that some people don’t benefit from this option, another blackmail tool will disappear, and it’s easier with debts. a private company, there are two big differences. And if the gas price is reduced to $ 169, which I doubt very much, I don’t see any direct benefit for Ukraine here. Prices for housing and communal services, in stores, tickets will definitely not go down. But Akhmetov and K, now instead of $ 100 per ton of metal, fertilizers will have 100+ (400-169) = 331, the calculation is rough of course, because you need to take into account the share of gas in the process. But all the gains from this will certainly settle in their pockets.

    I’m reading it here ... They wrote all kinds of garbage! And then the problem of the whole huge and rich Ukraine is only in gas prices! And there are no other problems anymore ... ridiculously by golly!
    Doesn't production get up?
    Unemployment not growing?
    Is the economy not in debt?
    Are citizens satisfied?
    Of all the achievements, only that Julia Telegin was imprisoned for theft ...
    EU Prospects:
    Full end of production!
    The collapse of the economy!
    Massive unemployment!
    Ruined ecology (with shale gas then)
    And many many others...
    ... And Russia, as always, is to blame for the price of Russian gas!
    PS And if in the European Union it will be really bad, Russia will be guilty of one hell!
    Badly invited to the customs union ...

      "Of all the achievements, only that Yulia Telegin was imprisoned for theft ..." - firstly, Tymoshenko, I think this is about her, was not imprisoned for theft. Don't write nonsense. And secondly, you have the first part, how Today it is bad in Ukraine, it does not differ from the second, how bad it will be in association with the EU. So it hinders to try to change something, because it will not be worse. After all, he just sits and does nothing.

    The Russian domestic gas price has long been announced as soon as Ukraine enters the CU. Ukraine’s profit has long been calculated in this case - $ 7,5 billion per year. It is only on gas. According to the Western approach, if this money were promised personally to Yanukovych and Azarov at least for one year, Ukraine would already be in the TS.

    Like we post them! This Boval generally super popular became a VO - then he writes all sorts of things and expresses his opinion. Sometimes I don’t want to comment at all.
    It seems they wrote about who this character is.
    Excuse me to end up with "Ukrainians" The rules of the BO are written for whom? You can't insult other visitors of the resource like that! So we've heard a lot of good and new things!
    About the topic itself. Gas sore extremely nervous and old, bearded topic.
    This is really a problem! Russia is blamed for the price (the price is really higher, even the discount for the Base in Sevastopol is $ 100, still higher than the European one with a smaller shoulder) Russians blame Tymoshenko. It is strange that if both compromised (both governments) Tymoshenko’s deal could not be canceled? It seems that the Kharkov agreements began this process. But in vain. However, the comment above is that cheap gas will not save the father of Ukrainian democracy either. But he’ll stuff someone’s pocket.
    But products will compete
    The price of housing and communal services gas will not decrease for Ukrainians anyway - because it is Ukrainian (gas) Purchased for production (chemistry and metallurgy). The discount affects competitiveness, and this will probably harm Russia itself. So if I were Russian - the price of gas would make Ukraine higher than just a second (competition) But that would be a different story. And I'm not Russian. Born in the USSR.
    In general, you guys would end up with mutual grievances in the topics! Conduct a more constructive conversation without insults and others. Over the months of such articles, you have lost a lot of "brotherly" in my eyes (we are talking about everyone - both Ukrainians and Russians and others)

      So for the sake of it all is started!
      Not for oil and gas, to which none of the members of the forum HAS ANY RELATIONSHIP, but for the fact that as soon as the discussion of relations between Russia and Ukraine begins, a wild shit immediately begins on the topic of "do it yourself" and "we will not admit, we will not give "! Who will give something? Which of those marked here is related to the gas trade? - with oil? - shale gas production? - distribution of financial flows ???
      They are already winning us, they all have us so that we are ready to cling to each other's throats, thank God that so far only on the Internet, but for how long?
      Are we humans or mongrels on leashes? Are there really no brains ?!
