NATURAL GAS

Natural gas: translation

Russia is the world’s leader in natural gas production, easily outstripping its closest competitors, theUnited StatesandCanada. Each year, the country produces 654 billion cubic meters of natural gas, or more than 20 percent of global output. Of this, 173 billion cubic meters are sold abroad, making Russia the leading exporter of the product. The country also leads the world in proven reserves, with 44.6 trillion cubic meters (one-quarter of world totals). In recent years, the Kremlin has pushed for the creation of an OPEC-like cartel for natural gas, bringing together the countries with the largest reserves (Russia,Iran, and Qatar); accounting for more than half of the world’s reserves, these countries regularly meet to discuss pricing and supply-related issues.
Gazpromholds a monopoly on extraction of natural gas.In Russia, major fields are found in easternSiberia, the East Siberian Sea andSakha, around the southernUrals, and in the Barents and Kara seas in theFar North; the Shtokman Field in theBarents Seapromises to generate 3.8 trillion cubic meters of gas in the future. In theRussian Far East, Sakhalin-II, a major liquefied natural gas project, has just been initiated. With theEuropean Unionfunctioning as the primary market for exports, the principal pipelines (Yamal-Europe and Blue Stream) cross European Russia, including transmission routes bringing gas fromTurkmenistanto Europe. This transshipment bottleneck, combined with Gazprom’s desire to charge market prices to countries in thenear abroad, has led to severe disputes withBelarusandUkrainein recent years, occasionally resulting in gas shortages to customers farther west, which are highly dependent on Russian exports. As a result, new routes are planned or currently in development, including aBaltic Searoute (Nord Stream) and aBlack Seapipeline (South Stream). A new route from the Kovykta field in eastern Siberia toChinaand other East Asian markets is also under consideration.
