Gazprom Eyes Move Into Belgian Market

The Associated Press
BRUSSELS -- Energy giant Gazprom has spoken to the Belgian government about moving into the country's gas market as it opens up to competition, Belgium's energy minister said Friday.

Energy Minister Marc Verwilghen said that Gazprom was attracted by the country's gas transport links through Belgium's Zeebrugge port, which would allow it to export to other countries.

Eight or nine European energy firms have expressed interest in the Belgian gas and electricity markets, he said.

Belgium has to open its energy markets by July 2007 and is likely to face EU criticism in the coming months for not doing enough to meet that deadline because the country's energy sector is still controlled by a few major players.

The planned merger between two of those players, Suez and Gaz de France, worsens the situation.

Belgium Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt warned last week that the companies should sell off part of their business to avoid controlling Belgium's electricity market and becoming the country's major gas supplier.

The Suez-Gaz de France tie-up would create a major new European player in energy, water and waste services with a market capitalization of $86 billion. The deal is likely to face tough scrutiny from EU antitrust regulators.

Russia, China Sign Business Cooperation Agreements
Created: 21.03.2006 13:35 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 13:35 MSK, 1 hour 10 minutes ago


MosNews


Documents on Russian-Chinese business cooperation were signed as part of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s state visit to China, which began on Tuesday, March 21. A total of 15 documents were signed.

President of state-owned Rosneft Oil Company Sergei Bogdanchikov and president of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) Chen Geng signed an agreement to regulate the establishment of joint ventures in both countries to broaden bilateral cooperation in the oil sector, Interfax-China reported. Putin and his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao attended the signing ceremony.

Among other projects, the document envisions Rosneft-CNPC joint ventures to refine crude oil and sell oil products, a Chinese source told the agency.

Chen and Simon Vainshtok, president of Russia’s oil pipeline monopoly Transneft, signed a protocol confirming the two companies’ agreement to carry out a feasibility study for a Chinese branch of the East Siberia-Pacific Ocean oil pipeline.

The CNPC head and Russian gas giant Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller signed a memorandum on the delivery of Russian natural gas to China, paving the way for negotiations on commercial issues related to such shipments.

Among other documents, Anatoly Chubais, CEO of Russia’s power grid monopoly UES and State Grid Corporation of China Director General Liu Zhenya signed an agreement on a feasibility study for sales of Russian electricity to China.

Russia’s Space Communications company acting General Director Yuri Izmailov and China Network (Group) Company Ltd. Vice President Zhao Jidong signed a memorandum on mutual understanding as part of plans to arrange international satellites broadcasts of the 2008 Olympic Games in China.

Russian Railways President Vladimir Yakunin and Chinese Railways Minister Liu Zhijun signed a contract on the mutual use of large-tonnage containers in export-import operations.

Chechen President Alu Alkhanov, head of the state-owned Vnesheconombank (Foreign Economy Bank) Vladimir Dmitriyev and State Development Bank of China manager Chen Yuan signed an agreement on investment cooperation.

St. Petersburg Governor Valentina Matviyenko, China Eximbank President Li Ruo Gu and Shanghai United Foreign Investment Company Cai Laixing signed an agreement on strategic cooperation as part of the Baltic Pearl project, a $1-billion neighborhood in St. Petersburg which is supposed to be built by Chinese companies.

In addition to this, the Russian President Vladimir Putin said that cooperation in nuclear power generation will continue between Russia and China. Apart from energy supplies, “our cooperation [in the energy sector] also involves the delivery of related equipment and nuclear projects, including our contribution to the creation of new nuclear power generation capacities in China,” he said.

Wirtschaft lobt Russlands Reformkurs

 
06.04.06 10:04

BERLIN (dpa-AFX) - Die Wirtschaft hat die Reformanstrengungen Russlands gelobt und vor ungerechtfertigter Kritik an der Energiepolitik des wichtigsten deutschen Gaslieferanten gewarnt. Die durch die Lieferkrise mit der Ukraine ausgelöste Debatte über die Vertragstreue Moskaus habe die "russische Befindlichkeit getroffen", sagte der Vorsitzende des Ost-Ausschusses der deutschen Wirtschaft, Klaus Mangold, am Mittwochabend in Berlin. Die Reformen bei Steuern, Zöllen, im Finanzmarkt und beim Eigentumsrecht würden nicht ausreichend gewürdigt. Der Warenaustausch mit Russland werde 2006 die Marke von 40 Milliarden Euro überspringen. Die deutschen Maschinenbauer könnten in den nächsten Jahren weiterhin zweistellige Zuwachsraten erzielen.

Der Chef des Versorgers E.ON Ruhrgas, Burckhard Bergmann, befürchtet nicht, dass Deutschland bei den Energie-Importen "in eine einseitige Abhängigkeit" von Russland gerate. Die russische Seite werde nicht leichtfertig die guten Geschäftsbeziehungen aufs Spiel setzen. Bergmann forderte den halbstaatlichen Energiekonzern Gasprom aber auf, mehr in die Transportinfrastruktur zu investieren. Dies sei in der Vergangenheit vernachlässigt worden. In den Verhandlungen mit Gasprom über die Beteiligung von E.ON Ruhrgas an einem großen Gasvorkommen in Westsibirien seien Fortschritte erzielt worden. Die Russen wollen als Tauschgeschäft in anderen Ländern Anteile des deutschen Konzerns erhalten. Ob Ruhrgas das Gasgeschäft in Ungarn abgeben werde, wollte Bergmann nicht kommentieren.

In der Diskussion um die umstrittene Kredit-Bürgschaftszusage des Bundes für Gasprom bezeichneten die Vertreter der Wirtschaft den Wechsel von Altbundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder (SPD) auf den Aufsichtsratschefposten der Ostsee-Pipeline-Betreibergesellschaft als normalen Vorgang. "Mir ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Bundeskanzler lieber als ein Schweizer Anwalt oder jemand aus Timbuktu oder Liechtenstein", sagte Mangold. Unglücklich sei aber der von Schröder gewählte Zeitpunkt kurz nach dem Ende von Rot-Grün gewesen. Deutsche-Bank-Vorstandsmitglied Tessen von Heydebreck betonte, das Geldinstitut habe bei dem geplanten Gasprom-Kredit weder bei Schröder noch bei einem anderen Mitglied der alten Bundesregierung um Intervention gebeten.

Die Deutsche Bank hatte gemeinsam mit der staatlichen KfW Gasprom einen Milliardenkredit für einen Zubringer der Ostsee-Pipeline angeboten, für den der Bund bürgen wollte. Schröder betont, er sei an der damaligen Entscheidung nicht beteiligt gewesen. Einen Zusammenhang mit seinem Pipeline-Job gebe es nicht. Zwischenzeitlich hat Gasprom Abstand von dem Kredit genommen. Allerdings hätten die Deutsche Bank und die KfW offiziell noch keine Absage von dem Konzern erhalten, sagte von Heydebreck. Die "erfreulichen Geschäftsbeziehungen" mit Gasprom würden fortgesetzt./tb/sk

Gusinsky Against Gazprom

 
07.04.06 11:29

Head of Media-MOST Vladimir Gusinsky who is under house arrest in Spain at present will not allow Gazprom to replace the management of the NTV television. The media tycoon is going to prevent Gazprom from any attempts to replace the NTV management at the next regular meeting of shareholders with the help of his stake in the company. According to Gusinsky, the management of NTV decided to hold a meeting of shareholders on March 12 in Gibraltar. This step is the last turn in the struggle for control over NTV, which Gusinsky calls a struggle for the freedom of speech. Last month Gazprom stated that it acquired control over a blocking share of NTV when a Moscow court froze 19 per cent of shares, which secures Gazprom’s control over 46 per cent of shares of NTV. That is why Gazprom summoned an emergency meeting of shareholders to replace the management and Gusinsky. Though according to Gusinsky, 19 per cent of shares in Media Most Capital&Management, a company registered in Gibraltar, were frozen by a decision of a court in Gibraltar according to Gusinsky’s demand, and as a result, he (Gusinsky) has the right to vote with these shares. If these shares are taken into account the media tycoon and his partners have 49 per cent of shares in NTV. Another 4.6 per cent of the blocking parcel belong to the American Capital Research Fund. Gusinsky has also appealed against the Moscow court that had seized the stocks and he hoped to win the case.

While Gusinsky is trying to save his empire, Rem Vyachirev expresses his disillusion at Gusinsky’s having abused his confidence, Gazprom’s investments failed to achieve the expected result, and Media-MOST has become bankrupt. He mentioned that Gazprom decided to make every effort to gain immediate control over Media-MOST’s subsidiaries. Vyachirev suggested that the shareholders in Media-MOST and its subsidiaries should unite their efforts to improve the management of the holding. Those who are dissatisfied with the current state of the company and unwilling to take part in the restoration of business may sell them.
The head of Gazprom is sure that “the current management of the company is not concerned about the financial prosperity of the company, receiving profits and reaching agreements with creditors. It is neither interested in meeting shareholders’ interest and continues using the company for its own political purposes.

Gazprom says Russia needs to build gas refineries in the east



IRKUTSK, March 7 (RIA Novosti) - Russia should build a series of gas refineries in its east to produce and sell highly profitable natural gas derivatives including helium, a senior Gazprom official said Friday.

"We should not simply develop gas deposits and sell gas to domestic and foreign consumers," said Gazprom deputy board chairman Alexander Ananenkov, adding that development of large deposits of natural gas with high helium concentration located in eastern Siberia and Yakutia just to raise production of fuel gas was unacceptable.

Ananenkov said development of methane deposits should include production of other valuable gas components, including helium, ethanol and heavier hydrocarbon derivatives, to make more effective use of oil-dissolved gas contained in largest deposits in eastern Russia.

The Kovyktinsky field in the Irkutsk Region and the Chayandinsk field in Yakutia contain 80% of Russia's helium reserves, but full-scale development could start only from 2015, Ananenkov said. Demand for helium is expected to rise in the near future as the nuclear power and defense industries expand.

Ananenkov said 25% of Russia's gas reserves, or more than 59 trillion cubic meters, is concentrated in the eastern part of the country, where four large gas production centers could be formed in the future: in the Irkutsk Region, the Krasnoyarsk Region, on Sakhalin and in Yakutia. All four centers will be connected by a unified gas transportation system, as part of the national gas transportation network.

Gazprom may name its choice of partners to take an equity stake in the huge Shtokman project at the end of next week, deputy CEO Alexander Ryazanov said Tuesday, declining to give more details.

Shtokman is a Barents Sea field that has reserves of around 3.7 trillion cubic meters of gas, which Gazprom plans to develop and sell to the United States as liquefied natural gas.

Analysts estimate the total costs of the project at more than $20 billion.

Gazprom has named a shortlist of five potential partners: French oil major Total, Norway's Statoil and Hydro, and U.S. majors ConocoPhillips and Chevron.

RIA NOVOSTI. May 2, 2006, 3:55 PM

MOSCOW, May 2 (RIA Novosti) - Gazprom (RTS: GAZP) will announce partners for development of its vast Shtokman gas field in the next few days, the energy giant's official spokesman said Tuesday.
Sergei Kupriyanov said in an interview with Ekho Moskvy (Echo of Moscow) radio station that the selection process, which Gazprom had hoped to complete in April, had been extended because each of the five bidding proposals was highly distinctive and detailed.
"The bids submitted are all very different ... in terms of structure," he said, adding that there were "a large number of points" to each.
Unveiled last September, the shortlist of companies to work with Gazprom on the Shtokman project comprises Norway's Statoil and Norsk Hydro, France's Total, and U.S. giants Chevron and ConocoPhillips.
The deposit, off Russia's Arctic coast, holds an estimated 3.2 trillion cubic meters of natural gas and 31 million metric tons of gas condensate.
Deputy Chair Alexander Ryazanov earlier said some $12-14 billion would be invested in the project's first phase and that production would start in 2011.

The joint Russian-German NEGP Company was formed for the construction of the underwater stretch of the North European Gas Pipeline project.
Construction under the 4.7-billion euro project, which is managed by Gazprom, began last year. The pipeline, which is to include two parallel legs measuring 750 miles each, will connect the Baltic seashore near the Russian city of Vyborg with the Greifswald region on the German coast.
The first leg of the pipeline is expected to have an estimated capacity of 27.5 billion cubic meters, and the second will double the NEGP capacity to 55 billion cu m annually

Gazprom: No Israeli Deals

By Valeria Korchagina
Staff Writer

Gazprom on Thursday denied reports that it had recruited former senior Israeli defense official Amos Yaron for an advisory position in the gas monopoly but acknowledged that the company had been in contact with the influential figure as part of its expansion plans to that country.

Israel's Ma'ariv daily on Thursday reported that Gazprom appointed the former director general of Israel's Defense Ministry as an adviser to Gazprom for negotiations to supply natural gas to Israel, Bloomberg reported.

Benny Steinmetz, an Israeli diamond magnate whose business interests also span real estate, energy and engineering sectors, is also being considered by Gazprom as a potential partner within Israel, Ma'ariv said, Bloomberg reported.

Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov denied that Yaron was given a job at Gazprom. However, Kupriyanov acknowledged that Yaron had been among the participants in negotiations to provide Israel with Russian gas. Yaron, dubbed the architect of the wall dividing Israel and the Palestinian territories, was a close ally of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon,

Kupriyanov also confirmed that the talks with Steinmetz have taken place, but he did not elaborate. "We haven't named strategic or any other kind of partners. But we have talked to him," Kupriyanov said.

Gazprom has been in talks with Israel over gas supplies to the country via the Blue Stream pipeline, which currently links Russia to Turkey. Turkey and Israel are planning to construct up to four underwater pipelines to extend the Blue Stream pipeline and carry Russian gas further on to Israel, the Palestinian territories, Jordan and Lebanon.

The volumes, the prices for gas and the time frame for the project are yet to be defined, Kupriyanov said.

The talks with Israel, apart from serving the commercial purposes, also represent a political move likely aimed at counterbalancing Russia's earlier controversial move to invite Hamas leaders to Moscow, said Chris Weafer, chief strategist at Alfa Bank.

Caspian Great Game Back On

 
05.05.06 07:56
Friday, May 5, 2006.
 


By Catherine Belton
Staff Writer  


 
The U.S. government appears to be stepping up its drive to secure energy supplies from Central Asia in a bid to counter Gazprom's growing clout and thwart a mounting challenge from China, as analysts signal the start of a tense new Great Game.

U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney is expected to push in Kazakhstan on Friday for a major new gas pipeline from the country to bypass Russia and take Kazakh gas westward through Azerbaijan and on to Turkey. Kazakhstan on Thursday gave an early signal it was interested in the project following talks between Kazakh officials and EU Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs.

The new push comes as consumer nations grow increasingly nervous about future supplies, with energy prices soaring to all-time highs, and concerns mount about dependence on Gazprom. The gas giant has locked in a monopoly hold on gas supplies out of Central Asia and Russia, while it supplies Europe with 25 percent of its gas needs.

In a sign of the growing pressure, Cheney lashed out at Russia in a speech in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, on Thursday for using its energy resources as "tools of intimidation or blackmail." In the strongest statement yet by a senior U.S. official, he said Russia was throwing its weight around "either by supply manipulation or attempts to monopolize transportation."

 

Washington's latest attempt to secure additional Caspian energy supplies comes after several years of wavering U.S. policy in the region due to concerns over increasing authoritarianism there. The administration of U.S. President George W. Bush offered an olive branch to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev just last week, granting him his first visit to the White House since he succeeded his father as president in October 2003. Energy cooperation was one of the main issues on the agenda, as was democracy reform, a U.S. State Department official said.

"Cheney ... has decided that this is getting ridiculous," said Zeyno Baran, director of the Eurasian Policy Center at the Washington-based Hudson Institute, referring to the U.S. administration's previous balking over democracy concerns at high-level meetings with regional leaders . "Soon there won't be any more democracies in the region to participate with."

"You can say all you want about how we will not take part in these great games, but Russia and China are taking part in them and there is a risk that the United States is losing out," Baran said by telephone from Vilnius, where she was taking part in the Cheney trip.

Gazprom has been signing off on a string of major new supply agreements with Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. While President Vladimir Putin last week threatened to send more Russian energy east, China has been stepping up its activities in Central Asia as it seeks to secure supplies from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.

China's CNPC last year bought Kazakh oil producer PetroKazakhstan, and the first oil from Kazakhstan reached China last week via a major new pipeline. Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov last month paid a six-day visit to Beijing, where he signed off on a plan to send 30 billion cubic meters of gas annually by a new pipeline to China beginning in 2009. Not satisfied, China is in talks with Kazakhstan over a gas pipeline from that country, too.

"The Chinese are now waving their checkbooks," said Alfa Bank chief strategist Chris Weafer, who is also an expert on OPEC politics. "The whole historic Great Game is back, and the Caspian is very much front and center as the main region for energy security."

When Putin named energy security as a priority during Russia's presidency of the Group of Eight nations this year, the expectation was that Russia could use its growing might as an energy supplier to leverage its interests and gain an increasingly important seat at the top table of global politics, Weafer said.

But Russia's standoff with Ukraine over the New Year, in which it briefly cut off gas supplies, led to growing fears Russia was using its energy might as a political weapon. As a result, G7 nations have begun discussing energy security on a much broader level and have stepped up efforts to diversify supplies.

Gazprom's increasing wealth at a time of sky-high energy prices is also sparking new worries, said Matt Sagers, director for energy economics at Cambridge Energy Research Associates. "Nothing in terms of strategy is different. What is different ... is that Gazprom now has muscle."

The Caspian is becoming a focal point in the search for new supplies because of its vast energy reserves and the fact that Caspian nations may be easier to reach than those in regions such as war-torn North Africa, Weafer said.

A State Department official said Thursday that the U.S. foray into Central Asia was more of an attempt to ensure diversity of supplies than a direct response to Gazprom's increasing clout.

"We have to help the European gas market function more efficiently," the official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said from Washington. Gazprom's ability to buy gas from Central Asia for as low as $55 per 1,000 cubic meters and sell it for $240 or more to Europe thanks to its monopoly on all pipelines running west out of the region was "a perverse situation," he said.

"This generates enormous rents that are distributed in nontransparent ways," he said, adding this was not in line with the U.S. reform agenda. "We can address that by increasing competition and diversifying pipeline routes."

Russia should adhere to the principles of the Energy Charter and allow third-party access to pipelines, he said, adding that Russia had called on Ukraine to do exactly that during the price standoff. "What's good for the goose is good for the gander," he said.

The official played down Putin's threats last week that Russia could send energy east if the West did not lift obstacles to its expansion in markets there. It is clear "there's bargaining going on here," he said, adding that Russia was not going to give up on its most prestigious market, Europe. "The Russian government has decided that energy could be the most influential tool to influence Europe. ... It has clearly established revenues there."

Weafer said, however, that Putin's saber-rattling last week had sent shivers down Europe's spine, even if it would take a decade to build the infrastructure necessary to take Russian energy eastward.

"In 10 years' time, Europe is facing its greatest crunch," he said. "There will be a real energy crisis in Europe if it has not secured major new energy supplies by then."

Russia is "taking into account the fact that China and India have a huge appetite for energy and will give favorable terms," Weafer said.

Baran said that even though U.S. officials would not openly admit they were concerned by any threat from Chinese deals, privately they were expressing increasing concern. "There's a sense that it's going to be impossible to compete with them. It's becoming increasingly difficult to win any open tender because the prices are just incredible," she said.

Weafer said the extended period of high oil prices had changed the entire dynamic between consumer and producer countries, as producers, buoyed by windfall revenues, become increasingly independent. "The United States has finally woken up to the fact that it is not going to be able to secure energy supplies based on political relationships," he said. "The Chinese have already changed the rules of the game with their checkbooks."

Other analysts disagreed, however.

Kazakhstan is unlikely to antagonize Russia by moving fast on a new gas pipeline westward, while the low quality of gas in Kazakh fields would also make any such project extremely costly, said Valery Nesterov, oil and gas analyst at Troika Dialog. Proposals to hook Turkmen gas up to a Kazakh pipeline westward would likely serve to push up prices for Russia rather than win the United States and Europe easier access to the gas, he said.

Another big problem for any direct Kazakh route to the West is that it would have to go under the Caspian Sea, the demarcation of which has yet to be agreed on by its littoral states, including Iran, Baran said. "Iran would be a threat to any pipeline project," she said.

With obstacles like these, any discussion of a Kazakh pipeline by Cheney would just be "the start of a long process," she said.

KIEV -- Russian oil firms denied on Friday they were seeking to bypass gas giant Gazprom with gas supplies to Ukraine after Kiev said it was in talks with them to boost its energy security.

The head of Ukraine's Security Council, Anatoly Kinakh, said earlier on Friday that Kiev was talking to oil majors LUKoil and TNK-BP and that they could replace Gazprom with supplies of tens of billions of cubic meters per year.

"There are a lot of companies which want to supply us with gas at reasonable prices. … One of the aspects in our strategy of talks [with Russia] will be free access of independent suppliers to our transport system," he told Ukrainian business daily Economic Izvestia. (Reuters)

Duma Passes Gas Export Bill

 
19.06.06 12:55
Monday, June 19, 2006.

By Dmitry Zhdannikov
Reuters  
 
The State Duma gave a first reading Friday to a bill granting gas monopoly Gazprom the exclusive right to export gas, despite Moscow's pledge to the European Union to gradually liberalize markets.

The bill, which passed by a vote of 386-6 with eight abstentions, stipulates that gas must be considered a strategic material and therefore should be exported only by Gazprom or its export arm, Gazexport, to protect national interests.

"Export regulations via a sole operator will ensure efficiency of export operations for the state and Russian gas producers," reads an annex to the bill.

Valery Yazev, head of the Duma's Energy, Transportation and Communications Committee and an author of the legislation, said the bill was crucial to helping Russia avoid ratifying the Energy Charter, which could force the country to open up gas pipelines to competition.

"There are fears that during Russia's accession to the WTO we might be forced to ratify the Energy Charter," Yazev said. Russia expects to join the World Trade Organization before the end of this year.

"It is crystal-clear that Western countries are stepping up the pressure on Russia as they want access to our energy resources and gas transportation system to pump out all of our gas and help gas prices plunge in Europe," Yazev said.

 
The required second and third readings of the bill are scheduled for June 28. The bill would become law after being approved by the Federation Council and signed by President Vladimir Putin.

The Kremlin, which is regaining control over strategic energy industries, has declined to comment on the bill, and it remains unclear whether Putin will support it.

The EU has repeatedly called on Russia to open its gas market to boost competition and potentially bring down prices.

The EU says liberalizing the Russian market would prevent major supply disruptions like those of early this year after Gazprom reduced flows to Europe during a pricing dispute with Ukraine.

Moscow argues it has to defend its security and plans to restrict foreign firms' access. It also accuses the EU of blocking Gazprom's expansion abroad, in countries such as Britain.

Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said earlier this year that Russia might gradually open up its gas market to competition, but said later that he meant only competition between domestic suppliers, and not the export monopoly.

The law says there will be only two exceptions to Gazprom's monopoly -- production sharing agreements on Sakhalin by ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell -- as their terms cannot be changed.

Russian independent gas producers and oil firms have long lost any hope of exporting gas independently and say they only want Gazprom, which controls all trunk pipelines in Russia, to give them easier access to domestic users.

Italian energy group Eni will offer to help Russian companies, including Gazprom, expand in Italy in return for access to production and exploration resources in Russia, including heavy oil assets, Eni CEO Paolo Scaroni said Tuesday at a conference in Moscow.

Scaroni said Eni could help ease Russian firms' access to European gas and electricity markets and would discuss three or four projects of mutual interest with Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller in talks later Tuesday.

"We're interested in a partnership in exploration and development of heavy fields and deposits,'' Scaroni said.

"We're talking about investment we can provide in terms of technology to make it possible to fully process and refine heavy oil.''

Eni wants to take a stake in Gazprom's Yuzhno-Russkoye gas field. In return for a stake, Gazprom is expected to ask for a piece of Eni's Italian gas distribution business. Eni and Gazprom have been in talks since October, when they scrapped an accord that would have given Gazprom direct access to Italian clients for the first time.

In its discussions with Gazprom on Tuesday, Eni also wanted to upgrade Russian pipelines, Scaroni said. Gazprom was a "very reliable" supplier of natural gas, he said.

"We could open the Italian gas and electricity markets for Russian companies and could also jointly enter the markets of other countries that are of interest to both sides, as already happened with Turkey," Scaroni said.

New Ukraine Gas Hike?

Natural-gas export monopoly Gazprom said Ukraine could expect to pay as much as 68 percent more for its gas by 2007, less than a year after the company interrupted supplies in a price dispute.

Ukraine, which pays $95 per 1,000 cubic meters of gas delivered through Russian pipelines, will pay between $150 and $160 by 2007, Gazprom chief executive officer Alexander Ryazanov told reporters in Moscow Tuesday.

Gazprom, which is cutting subsidies for all former Soviet republics, briefly cut off gas to Ukraine in January to enforce a price rise of almost 100 percent. Countries like Belarus, Georgia and Moldova will pay an average of $115 per 1,000 cubic meters this year, Ryazanov said, and can expect a price "close to $180'' in 2007. (Bloomberg)

Gazprom Enters British Gas Market by Buying 2 Firm

Friday, June 23, 2006.  

Reuters
LONDON -- Gazprom has entered the British industrial and commercial gas market after buying the supply businesses of the country's largest privately owned gas supplier, Gazprom said Thursday.

Gazprom, the world's biggest gas exporter, said it had also acquired the right to purchase Pennine Natural Gas outright and was concentrating on industrial and commercial gas customers for now, but would continue reviewing entry to the domestic and electricity markets.

Gazprom has previously said it was considering strategic partnerships in the British market, and has been linked to Britain's Centrica as well as agreeing in principle to take a share in a Dutch pipeline to Britain, bypassing possible British government objections.

Britain is turning into a net gas importer as its aging North Sea gas fields are quickly being depleted. British media have reported that the British government might oppose a Gazprom bid for Centrica.

The International Energy Agency has questioned whether Gazprom will be able to meet existing sales contracts and urged the firm to invest more in production. Earlier this month the gas monopoly said consolidated net profit, calculated to Russian accounting standards, had more than doubled in 2005 to 420.6 billion rubles ($15.6 billion).

Tymoshenko Seeks Gas Deal Review

 
23.06.06 07:15
Friday, June 23, 2006.
 
 
While she is not yet Ukraine's prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko on Thursday began outlining what she wanted to do once in office, beginning with revisiting a Russian gas deal forged after supplies were halted in January.

"I think all issues on gas supplies to Ukraine now require further deep revision and review," Tymoshenko told the parliament in Kiev.

Tymoshenko stressed that "all new relations with Russia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan should be built on a friendly basis."

But sources close to the Kremlin immediately homed in on Tymoshenko's remarks, warning of a wider energy conflict.

"It is another wake-up call for Europe," Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov said. "Realization of the threats voiced today is the path to a new gas crisis."

Political analyst Sergei Markov said: "If Tymoshenko does revise the gas agreements with Russia, this could lead to a widescale war that would engulf the whole of Europe."

Analyst Gleb Pavlovksy added that Tymoshenko was "trying to blackmail Russia and Europe. ... Taking advantage of its transit location, Ukraine wants to steal gas."

Tymoshenko personally announced the formation of the new government -- including her bloc, which is named after her; the Socialist Party; and President Viktor Yushchenko's Our Ukraine -- at the parliament's Thursday session.

 
The new government means Ukraine will stay on the pro-Western course it embarked on in late 2004 when hundreds of thousands of people descended on Kiev's Independence Square to protest rigged elections in the Orange Revolution.

Yushchenko was sworn in in January 2005. Tymoshenko served for eight months as his first prime minister but was fired after the two longtime rivals failed to set aside their differences.

The agreement struck this week between the three liberal parties dictates that Tymoshenko's bloc gets control of the Cabinet's fuel and energy posts and gets to nominate the head of Ukraine's Naftogaz.

Yushchenko's party is accorded the right to fill the parliamentary speaker's seat. Former Security Council secretary Petro Poroshenko or outgoing Prime Minister Yuriy Yekhanurov may be tapped for that post.

The Socialists get to nominate the deputy speaker.

The Party of the Regions, which won more seats than any other party in the March 26 parliamentary elections, now becomes the main opposition party.

Ukraine imports most of its gas from Russia. Some of this gas is bought by Russia's state-controlled Gazprom from Turkmenistan.

Ukraine also ships about 80 percent of the Russian gas that enters the country to Europe through its extensive network of Soviet-era pipelines.

The gas deal cobbled together earlier this year raised the price for 1,000 cubic meters to $95 from $50. It expires on July 1. Given Turkmenistan's demand that Gazprom pay more for gas, Ukraine almost certainly faces a hike.

Even before Tymoshenko reiterated her plans to revise the gas deal -- she has said as much many times before -- Gazprom had accused Ukraine of illegally channeling gas from its pipelines.

Ukraine's actions, Gazprom said, could lead to shortages in Western Europe. Many European leaders voiced concern about Russia's reliability as an energy supplier after the shutdown. Gazprom supplies one-quarter of Europe's gas.

Energy security and European Union membership are the top priorities of Ukraine's new government.

Other priorities include more cooperation with NATO. Unlike the outgoing government, which had a rosier view of the alliance, the new government supports holding a national referendum on membership instead of having the president launch a bid for membership.

Turning back to Russia, the agreement binding the coalition together calls for a free-trade zone between the two countries and for completion of the demarcation of the Ukrainian-Russian border.

Fighting corruption is also a concern of the new government.

Russian lawmakers, including Federation Council Speaker Sergei Mironov, said it was too early to make any predictions about what recent developments in Ukraine would mean for Moscow.

All the talk of unity in Kiev notwithstanding, Yushchenko and Tymoshenko are certain to clash on the same issues that drove them apart before Tymoshenko's dismissal, said Vadim Gustov, chairman of the Federation Council's Commonwealth of Independent States Affairs Committee. Tymoshenko has been accused by her rivals of using her post as prime minister to position herself for the 2009 presidential election.

But Gustov said Tymoshenko's tough talk about revising, or even abandoning, Ukraine's gas deal with Russia hardly meant she would take concrete steps to do so, given that a spat with Russia could undermine her presidential ambitions.

As prime minister in 2005, Tymoshenko threatened to review several privatizations of Ukrainian enterprises that had gone to Russian companies.

She also refused to visit Moscow, noting she was being investigated by Russian prosecutors for purportedly helping to defraud the Defense Ministry. The case against her was later dropped.

Kurt Bondarenko, director of the Institute of National Strategies in Kiev, said Thursday that Tymoshenko might emerge as "an agent of Russian influence" after she became prime minister.

After her ouster as prime minister, Bondarenko said, Tymoshenko mended fences with the Kremlin. He added that Tymoshenko's anti-Russian stance was largely a political ploy intended to stoke populist passions ahead of parliamentary elections.

Gazprom to Invest in Belgian Gas

 
28.06.06 13:12
Wednesday, June 28, 2006.


BRUSSELS -- Gazprom's export arm Gazexport and Belgian gas transport firm Fluxys said Tuesday they would work together to explore underground natural gas storage possibilities in northern Belgium.

Gasexport was interested in investing in a site in Poederlee where Fluxys holds an exploration permit, Fluxys said in a statement. Both companies will form a joint venture to explore the area, it said.

The site is geologically similar to Fluxys' 600-million-cubic-meter storage space in nearby Loenhout, where gas can be sealed into a natural aquifer.

Fluxys' other gas storage site in Belgium is in Zeebrugge, the main gas trading hub.

Belgium's energy minister Marc Verwilghen greeted the deal as an additional tool to help open up the country's gas market.

"Diversifying our energy sources and promoting our liquid natural gas, storage and transmission facilities are our main priorities," he said.

Verwilghen told reporters in March that Gazprom had spoken to the Belgian government about moving into the country's gas sector. He said Gazprom was attracted by Belgium's gas transport links through Zeebrugge port, which would allow it to export to other countries.

Highly flammable gas is usually transported by pipeline but recent technology allows it to be turned into a liquid that is easier to transport by road, rail or sea. This could also see more gas traded on the open market for spot prices instead of sold in long-term supply contracts.

Belgium has to open its energy markets by July 2007 and has faced EU criticism for not doing enough to meet that deadline because the country's energy sector is still controlled by a few major players.

Belgium wants to build gas capacity to become a European gas hub, importing the fuel and transporting it within Europe for consumption.

Belgium has enough storage capacity to supply the country for 30 days, Fluxys said last month.

MOSCOW, June 30 (RIA Novosti) - Gazprom [RTS: GAZP] wants to make domestic supplies of natural gas as profitable as supplies to Europe, the Russian energy giant's head said Friday.
A company official said Thursday the gas giant could lose 30 billion rubles ($1.1 bln) in 2006 and 14 billion rubles ($517.4 mln) in 2007 on domestic gas supplies, following losses of 8 billion rubles (almost $300 million) in 2005.
Speaking at an annual shareholders meeting Friday, Alexei Miller said: "Natural gas prices on the domestic market must make consumers increase the efficiency of its use, and facilitate the development of competition between alternative fuels and the establishment of optimal price ratios for natural gas, coal and fuel oil."
Miller said favorable conditions had developed to solve long-standing problems on the domestic market. "Gazprom is continuing work on solutions to liberalize the market for commercial consumers. Turning to stock-market technologies and long-term contracts for supplies to such consumers will help rectify the current price disproportions between natural gas and alternative fuels," he said.
Miller said the current regulated wholesale prices were fixed below an economically justified level and without consideration for market-based alternative fuel prices or the environmental and technological advantages of gas.
"A pricing system like this accounts for the disproportion of fuel prices, irrational structure of the fuel and energy balance and inefficiency of Gazprom's operations on the Russian market," Miller said.

MOSCOW, June 30 (RIA Novosti) - Gazprom [RTS: GAZP] has tripled the volume of investment in recent years to $10 billion to $11 billion a year, the energy giant's chief executive said Friday.
Alexei Miller said investment in transport was double that in production since development of transport infrastructure was the key to reliable supplies.
"An integrated gas supply system is a huge system with a single control center, capable of responding flexibly to industrial, market and environmental factors," he said.
At the same time, he said that Gazprom was continuing to expand the raw material and production base.
Claude Mandil, executive director of the International Energy Agency, said in May that Gazprom was not a reliable gas supplier to Europe in the long term. The Russian gas giant has been criticized for producing gas from old fields and investing too little in the development of new ones. There is also speculation that Gazprom's ability to honor new contracts hinges on its purchases of Central Asian gas, which is seen as a dubious guarantee of future gas supplies.
But Miller was robust in his defense of the company.
"In the past five years, Gazprom has increased production by 36 billion cu m of gas," he said, adding that was comparable to production volumes in a number of natural gas supplying countries.
"The company's reserves have been growing much faster than annual production levels. We are increasing them without dipping into the reserves," he said.

Gazprom Tries to Buy Yukos Stake

Thursday, July 20, 2006.


The Associated Press
State-controlled gas monopoly Gazprom has offered to buy out a 20 percent stake in its oil subsidiary, which is still owned by the shattered Yukos oil company, news reports said Wednesday.

The move comes on the eve of a Yukos creditors' meeting at which the company is to present its plan to pay off its remaining debts within 18 months.

Creditors are expected to consider whether the company can be saved or should be liquidated.

The stake in question is in Gazprom Neft, formerly Sibneft, 73 percent of which Gazprom bought from billionaire Roman Abramovich last year.

Yukos still owns 20 percent of the company after it paid $3 billion for the shares as part of a 2003 merger with Sibneft that unraveled as the government mounted a back tax campaign against the company.

That tax probe and the parallel jailing of Yukos founder Mikhail Khodorkovsky brought the company to it knees in an apparent drive to recapture state influence in the oil sector and punish Khodorkovsky's political ambitions.

Yukos' financial rehabilitation plan includes the sale of its stake in Gazprom Neft.

However, Interfax and RIA-Novosti reported that Gazprom was seeking a discount for the stake.

Yukos was placed in insolvency proceedings at the request of international banks that had lent to it.

They subsequently sold their nearly $500 million in debts to Rosneft, the state-controlled oil company, which is the company's single largest creditor after the tax service.

Gazprombank Tapped in Yukos Sell-Off

 
24.08.06 12:36
Thursday, August 24, 2006.

Yukos' court-appointed receiver, Eduard Rebgun said Wednesday that he had hired Gazprombank and Ernst & Young to help him prepare the sale of the company's assets. In a separate development, the Moscow Arbitration Court rejected an appeal by Yukos of a decision declaring the company bankrupt.

The court had declared Yukos bankrupt on Aug. 1, upholding an earlier vote by the company's creditors -- a group dominated by the tax authorities and state oil company Rosneft.

Court officials could not immediately be contacted to confirm the decision.

Rebgun has to sell off the firm's assets or refloat its subsidiaries to raise enough cash to pay off creditors' demands of at least 492 billion rubles ($18.4 billion), a process that may take a year.

"There were talks [with Gazprombank] about what we need to do to carry out all these procedures," Rebgun said. "We realized that they could offer what we needed, so we are going to transfer [Yukos'] accounts to them."

Gazprombank, not previously one of Yukos' bankers, is a unit of Gazprom, which tried to buy several Yukos assets on the eve of its bankruptcy.

Analysts say Rosneft, the only company to successfully challenge Gazprom in a corporate deal in the last few years, is likely to be the main beneficiary of Yukos' demise and win most of its assets.

 
Rosneft already bought Yukos' main production unit, Yuganskneftegaz, after mounting back tax demands that eventually topped $33 billion and forced Yukos to sell it in December 2004.

The sale left Yukos hollowed-out and Rosneft in dire need of Yukos' refining capacity to process Yugansk's output of around 1 million barrels of crude oil per day.

Rosneft has said it might take over capacity from Yukos, which has five refineries in Russia, but its claims on Yukos assets may enable it to take over an even bigger chunk of the firm.

Already the second-biggest creditor after the Federal Tax Service, Rosneft has asked the courts to approve a claim of $8.4 billion on top of its existing $2.8 billion demand. Gazprom has no claim as a creditor, but is keen to buy 20 percent of its oil unit, Gazprom Neft, held by Yukos, the remnant of an aborted merger three years ago between Yukos and what was then Sibneft.

In its 11th-hour bid, which foundered when Yukos creditors voted in favor of bankruptcy, Gazprom also expressed an interest in Yukos' ArcticGaz unit and the Angarsk refinery and made a $105 million offer for its 49 percent stake in Slovakian pipeline operator Transpetrol.

TNK-BP has also said it will always look at any assets put on the market.

Yukos' assets are now likely to go under the hammer, and Rebgun has hired Ernst & Young, one of the world's four largest accounting firms, to prepare terms for choosing a valuer.

"We asked them to do it quickly," Rebgun said, but added that there was no definite idea of when the sell-off might begin.

St. Pete Bank Acquires 3% Stake in Gazprom

 
24.08.06 12:38
Thursday, August 24, 2006.

A bank owned by close friends of President Vladimir Putin has bought Leader, the country's biggest asset management fund, which holds a 3 percent stake in Gazprom, Vedomosti reported Wednesday.

Bank Rossiya, which was set up in St. Petersburg by friends of Putin in the early 1990s, bought the fund for an undisclosed sum earlier this year, the newspaper said.

The Leader fund not only owns a 3 percent stake in Gazprom, currently worth some 217 billion rubles ($8.13 billion), but it also has the largest assets of any fund in the country, with the fund including more than 100 billion rubles in Gazprom's pension fund, Gazfund.

The fund also has shares in pension funds belonging to LUKoil, Russian Railways and Unified Energy Systems, the newspaper said.

Bank Rossiya bought an 81 percent stake in Gazprom's insurance arm, Sogaz, two years ago, the paper noted, giving it access to Gazprom's financial business.

Gazfund has been a client of the bank for the last three years, the newspaper said.

In 2003, Yury Shamalov, the son of Nikolai Shamalov, who owns a 9.7 percent stake in Bank Rossiya, became Gazfund's president, the newspaper added.

The bank's main shareholders are believed to include Yury Kovalchyuk, a St. Petersburg businessman considered close to Putin, said Vladimir Pribylovsky, head of the Panorama think tank.

Gazprom Eyes France, Belgium

 
31.08.06 10:26
Thursday, August 31, 2006.

Gazprom is looking at assets in France and Belgium as it continues its powerful push into the gas markets of Western Europe.

Deputy CEO Alexander Medvedev said Gazprom would consider buying up assets left out of a contentious merger between Paris-based utilities Gaz de France and Suez, French newspaper La Tribune reported Wednesday.

The companies may be forced to spin off the assets as a part of their pending merger, announced earlier this year, which has attracted the attention of European competition authorities.

Yet, Gazprom's interest in the assets is prompting concerns that the gas behemoth would exercise undue influence in France, where it is already the biggest gas supplier.

Gazprom has made no secret of its plans to expand in Western Europe, home to some of the world's biggest gas consumers. Target markets for gas delivery, investment, or acquisitions include Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy.

Meanwhile, this week Gazprom finalized a deal with German energy firm E.On to supply a total of 400 billion cubic meters of gas through 2035, as well as additional cooperation on the North European Gas Pipeline, which is planned to run under the Baltic Sea to northern Germany.

 
"They're very interested in picking up assets downstream in Europe to further consolidate their market," said Daniel Simmons, a gas supply expert with the Paris-based International Energy Agency. "Gazprom currently supplies France with gas, so there is some potential logic to a potential bid," he said, referring to the Suez and Gaz de France assets.

The French government is currently considering lowering its stake in state-controlled Gaz de France. Suez, a French-Dutch company, owns a stake in Belgium's Fluxys gas company through its Tractebel unit.

Gaz de France is in talks with Gazprom on the prolongation of a long-term supply contract.

Gazprom did not immediately reply to a request for comment on its Western European strategy.

Christel des Royeries, a Gaz de France spokeswoman, said it was "much too early" to talk about possible asset sales in the wake of the merger with Suez.

Des Royeries said the French parliament was working on legislation to allow the state's share in the gas company to fall to 33 percent. Currently, under French law the state has to own at least 70 percent of the utility, and the state now owns 80 percent.

The European Commission has listed its anti-monopoly concerns in a letter to Suez and Gaz de France, a preliminary step to granting approval to the merger, she said.

"The competition authorities have said they cannot own virtually the whole of the French and the whole Belgian gas monopoly," said Jonathan Stern, director of gas research at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies.

Stern said it was too early to say exactly what assets Suez and Gaz de France would spin off, but that attention had focused recently on the gas distribution and marketing network in Belgium. If the Belgian property were put up for sale, Gazprom would not be the only bidder.

"When we see the assets announced, you'll just see a huge number of very large utilities descend," Stern said. "Literally every one of the actors on the European gas scene will be in on it."

Stern said these wealthy European utilities could quite possibly outbid Gazprom, since a gas network in their backyard means more to them than to Russia. But Gazprom could acquire the network through an asset swap: trading the network for access to Gazprom's gas deliveries or upstream production.

Earlier this year, Gazprom agreed to swap stakes in its vast Yuzhno-Russkoye gas field near Tomsk in return for assets held by Germany's E.On and BASF, which with Wintershall are Gazprom's partners in building the Baltic pipeline.

E.On took a stake of 25 percent minus one share Yuzhno-Russkoye and gave Gazprom stakes of 50 percent minus one share in its Hungarian gas companies. BASF took a 35 percent minus one share in Yuzhno-Russkoye. In return, Gazprom increased its stake in BASF's gas distribution firm, Wingas, from 35 percent to 50 percent minus one share, and also won a stake in a BASF production subsidiary in Libya.

Stern said that with gas-related assets trading at sky-high prices, Gazprom would probably use swaps to get its hands on more European assets.

Outright purchases require spending cash or issuing debt. In 2005, Gazprom borrowed more money abroad than any other Russian company, with $4.3 billion issued in foreign-currency denominated debt, not including debt issued by Gazprombank, according to data from Dealogic. Trading assets helps Gazprom develop partners and integrate itself into Western energy markets, an important step for future deals, including liquefied natural gas, or LNG.

But Adam Landes, an oil and gas analyst at Renaissance Capital, said that because of the relatively small size of the Gaz de France and Suez assets compared with Gazprom, an outright acquisition might make more sense.

Recently, Gazprom has bartered for and purchased LNG for small shipments to Britain and the United States. Currently Gazprom cannot process its own gas into LNG, but starting 2010 it hopes to send LNG from its Shtokman fields to the United States and Western Europe.

Gazprom is in talks with the Netherlands on entering the Dutch energy market, and Dutch firm Gasunie in June agreed to take a stake in the North European Gas Pipeline, which may be extended to the Netherlands and on to Britain.

In Italy, Gazprom has approached Eni subsidiary Italgas about swapping some of its assets for a stake in Russian exploration and production. Medvedev has said Gazprom is considering supplying spot LNG deliveries to Spain through swap deals. Meanwhile, the Spanish gas company Repsol has expressed interest in Gazprom's LNG plant at the Baltic port of Ust-Luga.

Simmons said that if Gazprom acquired more assets in Western Europe, competition regulators might want to look at the consequences, since it already supplied more than one-quarter of the continent's gas.

"The worry has been in the past that if they're buying all these downstream assets, what are they doing upstream in order to make sure Europe is getting all the gas it needs in future?" Simmons said. "Whenever a company is diversifying, you worry about its core business."

European Utilities Eye Russian Power

 
12.09.06 11:14
Tuesday, September 12, 2006.

European utilities are ready to make strategic investments in Russian power firms if electricity prices rise, said Manfred Wiegand, head of global utilities at PricewaterhouseCoopers.

"The Russian market is certainly of interest to European utilities," Wiegand said Friday in an interview in Moscow.

The domestic electricity sector, known for its aging grid and generation facilities, could become a "shrewd investment" for European utilities as a host of domestic power firms line up to offer shares, he said.

On Thursday, Italy's Enel said it planned to invest $2.4 billion in acquiring Russian electricity and gas assets.

After a decade of lukewarm interest, Enel would become the first European utility after Finland's Fortum to put serious cash in Russian electricity.

Troika Dialog said it expected Enel to invest in a stake in one of the country's five wholesale retail firms.

State-controlled utility Unified Energy Systems plans to offer investors stakes in five wholesale and several of the country's territorial power generation companies in the next two to three years.

From a strategic investor viewpoint, European utilities would likely acquire "significant" stakes of more than 10 percent in Russian power firms to give them a say in the way they are run, said David Gray, a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Moscow working on energy, utilities and mining.

 
Gazprom is also likely to gain stakes in European utilities that sell electricity to the end consumer, Wiegand said. Despite political caution, "the legal structure is not there to stop Gazprom" buying stakes in European utilities, he said.

Half of Europe's utilities currently expect gas shortages or supply interruptions, according to PwC's 2006 annual survey of energy company CEOs. Given the supply uncertainty, European utilities are actively seeking to expand and diversify their fuel and country portfolio, Wiegand said.

"We are on the verge of making a lot of these investment decisions," Wiegand said. "Companies that are investing in gas and coal are also considering investing in nuclear power plants."

In Russia, the recent liberalization of wholesale electricity prices could "transform the economics" of power companies, Gray said. As prices for corporate consumers are freed up, higher prices for domestic users cannot be far behind, he said.

The risk with introducing market principles into the power sector is that Russia has few traders with knowledge of how to complete electricity contracts and work with a flexible price environment, Gray said. And yet, mistakes in trading would mean a collapse in profits, he said.

Independent experts noted that the possibility to build or invest in a power plant in Russia has existed for several years now, but drew little enthusiasm from foreign utilities due to fixed prices and the vast sums needed to modernize the country's generation and grid facilities.

Enel are either "bluffing or they are insane," said Gianguido Piani, an Italy-based expert on Russian electricity.

Piani noted that in 2002 Germany's E.On made a pre-feasibility study for a 900-Megawatt combined cycle gas turbine plant in the Tula region, but soon dropped their plans, seeing it as economically unviable.

"With the elections coming up, I can't see the price for consumers rising," said Derek Weaving, a London-based energy analyst.

In the electricity sector, "shareholders in Russia have not been getting a return on equity," Weaving said. While utility majors have circled Russia for over a decade, "the watershed year is when consumers start to pay real prices" for electricity, he said.

Shell Seeks Gazprom Deal by Jan. 1

 
18.10.06 15:04
Wednesday, October 18, 2006.

The head of Shell in Russia said Tuesday that he hoped to conclude talks by the end of the year for Gazprom to take a blocking stake in Sakhalin-2.

Chris Finlayson, president of Shell Exploration and Production Russia, also said the company was confident that a dispute with the Natural Resources Ministry, which is threatening to recall a key permit for Sakhalin-2 over environmental violations, would soon be resolved.

"We have agreed with the representatives of all the ministry to a rapid resolution of these issues, hopefully by the close of the year," Finlayson said on the sidelines of a ceremony to open Shell's first filling station in Moscow.

Natural Resources Minister Yury Trutnev is due to visit the far eastern island of Sakhalin next week to review whether Shell has implemented a series of environmental controls.

"We're confident that during the visit he will see that we've made progress," Finlyason said.

Asked whether he saw a link between the negotiations with Gazprom -- which will see the state-run company get a 25-plus-1 percent share in Sakhalin-2 in an asset swap with Shell -- and the environmental charges, Finlayson said: "We treat them as two separate issues."

Analysts say the increased pressure could be a means of pushing Shell into giving Gazprom a bigger stake.

 

Meanwhile, a Moscow court on Tuesday refused to hear a suit brought against the Natural Resource Ministry by its environmental regulator and seeking to revoke Sakhalin-2's environmental license. The regulator, run by Oleg Mitvol, had sued the ministry for the right to recall the license, which could halt work on the $20 billion project.

Finlayson said the accusations against Sakhalin-2 did not dampen the festivities for Shell's entry into Moscow. Russia "is one of our top retail growth markets in the world," he said. "This will be the first of many Shell stations in Moscow."

Balloons in Shell's trademark yellow and red adorned the new station on Leningradskoye Shosse as a brass band played to a group of journalists and Shell officials. "I'm quite sure that Russia is the right place for us to develop our retail network," said Lord John Kerr, a nonexecutive Shell official who used to head the company's Russia office.

Katya Atanasova, general director of Shell filling stations in Russia, acknowledged that the company had faced difficulty entering Moscow. "There are problems which are specific to Russia, particularly heavy administration, and related to getting permits and licenses," she said.

Yet Shell still hopes to open at least seven more filling stations in Moscow by year's end, and another 10 more by the end of 2007, she said.

The first Shell filling station in Russia opened in St. Petersburg in 1997 and the company now runs 18 stations there. It plans to open another 20 more in the city over the next three years.

BULLE & BÄR

Russland lockt

GERHARD MAUERER | MÜNCHEN Man wird sich an Gazprom gewöhnen müssen. Nicht nur als Sponsor des Fußballbundesligisten FC Schalke 04, sondern auch als Gaslieferant - und als mögliches Investment. Zwar ist die Scheu vor russischen Einzelwerten gerade bei Privatanlegern groß, doch könnte es durchaus lohnen, sich Aktien des weltgrößten Erdgasförderers ins Depot zu legen.

Gazprom, 1992 gegründet und 1998 in eine AG umgewandelt, ging aus dem Ministerium für Gasindustrie der Sowjetunion hervor. Noch heute übt die russische Regierung bedeutenden Einfluss auf das größte Unternehmen des Landes aus. Die russische Föderation hält gut die Hälfte der Aktien, Aufsichtsratschef ist der Putin-Vertraute und stellvertretende Ministerpräsident Dmitri Medwedew. Der Börsenwert des mit 330 000 Beschäftigten größten Arbeitgebers Russlands beträgt sagenhafte 206 Mrd. Euro - mehr als Eon, RWE, Deutsche Telekom und Volkswagen zusammen. Dabei ist das Kurs-Gewinn-Verhältnis für 2007 von gut elf im Branchenvergleich moderat.

Der hohe Börsenwert hat gute Gründe: Gazprom ist mit Abstand Weltmarktführer bei Gasexporten, fördert ein Fünftel der weltweiten Erdgasproduktion und verfügt über ein Sechstel der wirtschaftlich gewinnbaren Gasreserven der Welt. Hilfreich ist auch das Monopol auf Erdgasexporte aus Russland.

Dies gewährt Gazprom eine enorme Marktmacht - zu beobachten war dies erst kürzlich im Streit mit Weißrussland über Gaspreise. Die Weißrussen mussten klein beigeben und eine Preissteigerung um mehr als das Doppelte hinnehmen. Bereits im Vorjahr konnte Gazprom erhebliche Preiserhöhungen für Lieferungen unter anderem in die Ukraine durchsetzen. So verdoppelte sich das Nettoergebnis zur Hälfte des Geschäftsjahres 2006/07 zuletzt auf rund zwölf Mrd. Dollar. Die Analysten von Morgan Stanley errechneten kurz vor Weihnachten ein Aufwärtspotenzial für die Aktie von 36 Prozent und erwarten dank steigender Gaspreise eine positive Entwicklung des Papiers.

Der Einfluss der Regierung auf das Unternehmen erwies sich in der Vergangenheit trotz immer wiederkehrender Vorwürfe über Mauscheleien für Anleger als Vorteil. Während Gazprom selbst im Ausland stetig expandiert, hält Russland im Inland seine schützende Hand über den Konzern. Der Kreml weigert sich, die Europäische Energiecharta zu ratifizieren, die ausländischen Unternehmen mehr Zugang zu russischen Gasfeldern gewähren würde. Auf diese Weise genießt Gazprom daheim eine Quasi-Monopolstellung und kann im Ausland das erklärte Ziel verfolgen, der weltweit führende Energiekonzern zu werden. Dahin ist es ein weiter Weg. ExxonMobil bringt es auf eine Marktkapitalisierung von 325 Mrd. Euro. Doch viele Experten trauen der Aktie 2007 deutlich Kurssteigerungen zu. Morgan Stanley riefen das Papier zu einem ihrer Favoriten des Jahres aus. gastautor@handelsblatt.com

„Kommersant“: TNK-BP droht Lizenzentzug für Kowykta - Gasprom will einsteigen

Die russische Regierungsbehörde für Kontrolle über Naturnutzung (Rosprirodnadsor) hat am Mittwoch eine Prüfung des Lizenzabkommens über die Erschließung des Vorkommens Kowykta initiiert. Momentan wird das Vorkommen vom Ölunternehmen TNK-BP kontrolliert.

Die Prüfung soll bis zum 26. Januar abgeschlossen werden. Bis dahin wird das Unternehmen die vom Abkommen vorgesehene Jahresförderung von neun Milliarden Kubikmeter Gas nicht gewährleisten können, insofern droht ihm ein Lizenzentzug, schreibt die Tageszeitung „Kommersant“ am Donnerstag.

Branchenexperten sind der Ansicht, dass sich in Kowykta dasselbe Szenario abspielt, wie es bereits beim Projekt Sachalin-2 verwirklicht wurde: Die Beanstandungen der Naturschutzbehörden werden zurückgenommen, sobald der Konzern Gasprom ins Projekt einsteigt.

Die Lizenz für den Abbau des Vorkommens Kowykta, dessen Vorräte auf 2,1 Billionen Kubikmeter Gas geschätzt werden, gehört dem Unternehmen Russia Petroleum, in dem TNK-BP 62,4 Prozent gehören.

TNK-BP ist nicht berechtigt, Gas zu exportieren, weil dem Konzern Gasprom das Monopolrecht für den Export aus Russland gehört. Gegenwärtig verhandeln Gasprom und TNK-BP über ein Einstieg des Gasmonopolisten ins Projekt. Gasprom-Vorstandsmitglied Alexander Medwedew erklärte in einer Pressekonferenz am Mittwoch: „Es gibt Bedingungen eines Lizenzabkommens, die deren Inhaber erfüllen muss. Es gibt auch eine Einigung mit TNK-BP, dass die Erschließung des Vorkommens ein Teil des gesamten Programms über Ostsibirien und den Fernen Osten sein muss.“ Das Programm wird von Gasprom konzipiert. Der Monopolist besteht darauf, dass Kowykta nicht vor 2015 erschlossen werden soll.

„Die Situation kann die Russia-Petroleum-Aktionäre zwingen, den von Gasprom vorgeschlagenen Bedingungen zuzustimmen“, meint Alexander Blochin, Analyst des Unternehmens Ak Bars Finans. Nach Ansicht des MDM-Bank-Analysten Andrej Gromadin könnte TNK-BP den Lizenzentzug eventuell verhindern, wenn das Unternehmen einen Teil seiner Russia-Petroleum-Aktien an Gasprom abtritt.

Für Verhandlungen mit Gasprom stehen TNK-BP noch einige Monate zur Verfügung, die die Behörden der Gesellschaft Russia Petroleum zur Beseitigung der bei der Prüfung festgestellten Mängel bereitstellen müssen. Das Prozedere des Lizenzentzugs kann erst nach einer wiederholten Prüfung beginnen.

„Wedomosti“: Importzölle für ausländische Flugzeuge in Russland herabgesetzt

Die Einfuhrzölle für zivile Maschinen, die in Russland nicht gebaut werden können, sollen von 20 auf acht bis zehn Prozent herabgesetzt werden, berichtet die Tageszeitung „Wedomosti“ am Donnerstag.

Russische Fluggesellschaften hatten seit langem um eine Herabsetzung der Zölle gebeten, weil sie beim Kauf von Maschinen zusätzlich eine 18-prozentige Mehrwertsteuer zahlen müssen. Das Ministerium für Wirtschaftsentwicklung und Handel hatte im Frühjahr 2006 zwar vorgeschlagen, diese Steuer für die Fluggesellschaften abzuschaffen, doch das Finanzministerium stimmte dagegen. Das Ministerium für Verkehrswesen schlug nach mehreren Flugzeugunglücken vor, den Zoll abzuschaffen.

Am Mittwoch beschloss die behördenübergreifende Kommission für Marktschutzmaßnahmen, den Zoll für die Maschinen, die in Russland nicht gebaut werden können, auf acht Prozent herabzusetzen. Diese Maßnahme gilt allerdings nur für Flugzeuge, die maximal 50 Fluggäste befördern können. Für die Maschinen, die für 115 bis 160 Passagiere bestimmt sind, soll der Zoll zehn Prozent betragen. Der Zoll soll außerdem nur für die Maschinen herabgesetzt werden, die zu Leasing-Bedingungen eingeführt werden, wo die Zahlungsdauer maximal drei Jahre beträgt.

Lew Koschljakow, Vizegeneraldirektor der Fluggesellschaft Aeroflot, bewertete diesen Schritt als eine „Halbmaßnahme“. „Dort, wo es keine russischen Analogien gibt, hätte man den Zoll überhaupt abschaffen sollen“, sagte er. „Die Einschränkung der Leasingdauer auf drei Jahre verringert die wirtschaftliche Attraktivität: Danach wird man einen neuen Vertrag schließen müssen, was zusätzliche Ausgaben bedeutet.“

Die Gesellschaft Sky Express, die derzeit gerade Passagiermaschinen kauft, wird von der neuesten Entscheidung überhaupt nicht profitieren können, stellt ihre Generaldirektorin Marina Bukalowa fest. Die Fluggesellschaft setzt größere Maschinen vom Typ Boeing-737 ein, die für mindestens fünf Jahre geleast werden.

„Gazeta.Ru“: Ist russische OAK heißer Konkurrent im Kampf zwischen Boeing und Airbus?

Schon bald könne sich die russische Vereinigte Flugzeugbaugesellschaft OAK dem globalen Konkurrenzkampf der Giganten Boeing und Airbus anschließen, schreibt die Internetzeitung „Gazeta.Ru“.

Nach Ansicht des Analysten Gairat Salimow von der Investmentgesellschaft Troika-Dialog kann es zwei Varianten der weiteren Entwicklung geben: Entweder werden sich die beiden Giganten auf den Kampf gegen den Newcomer konzentrieren und diesen vom Markt verdrängen, oder Airbus wird sich mit dem neuen Spieler im Kampf gegen den alten Konkurrenten zusammenschließen.

„Jetzt, wo der Konzern Airbus seine Spitzenposition verloren hat, wird es immer wahrscheinlicher, dass gerade dieses Unternehmen mit OAK kooperieren wird“, meint Salimow.

Von Boeing wäre aber ein solcher Schritt nicht zu erwarten, sagt der Experte. Der amerikanische Konzern habe bisher nie mit ausländischen Unternehmen erfolgreich kooperiert.

Dennoch erhielt Russland Anfang Januar ein Angebot von Boeing über die Entwicklung einer gemeinsamen Produktion. Verkehrsminister Igor Lewitin wollte das Boeing-Angebot vorerst nicht bewerten und teilte mit, derzeit werde analysiert, wer und bei welchen Produktionstypen als ein OAK-Partner in Frage kommen könnte.

Bereits bekannt sind allerdings die gemeinsamen Pläne von OAK und EADS, die den Bau eines Transport-Großraumflugzeugs vorsehen.

Außerdem verhandelt Russland auch mit China über die Gründung eines Joint Ventures für die Entwicklung von Zivilflugzeugen.

„Nesawissimaja Gaseta“: Droht ein US-Angriff auf den Iran?

Schon im März könnte es laut einigen Angaben zu einem US-Schlag gegen den Iran kommen. Zwar bestreitet das offizielle Washington solche Absichten, dennoch nimmt die US-amerikanische Militärpräsenz im Golfraum zu, schreibt die Zeitung „Nesawissimaja Gaseta“ am Donnerstag.

Auch Teheran bereitet sich auf den möglichen Anschlag zu. Im Fall einer Aggression wird es unter anderem russische Raketenabwehrkomplexe vom Typ TOR-M1 einsetzen. Der russische Verteidigungsminister Sergej Iwanow teilte vor einigen Tagen mit, dass die Lieferung dieser Rüstungen gerade abgeschlossen wurde.

Für den Iran wird es Ende Februar kritisch, wenn die von der Resolution des UN-Sicherheitsrates vom 23. Dezember vorgesehene Frist abläuft, die die Einstellung jeglicher Urananreicherungsaktivitäten von Iran fordert. Vor der Annahme eines neuen Dokuments wird sich der Sicherheitsrat allerdings einen neuen IAEO-Bericht über den Stand des iranischen Nuklearprogramms anhören.

Zu diesem Zeitpunkt werden bereits zwei Flugzeugträgergruppen der US-Kriegsmarine im Golfraum präsent sein. Die zweite Gruppe wie auch ein Bataillon des Raketenabwehrsystems Patriot wurden am Dienstag entsandt. Außerdem begeben sich weitere 20 000 US-Soldaten in die Region, die zunächst in Kuwait stationiert werden.

Die kuwaitische Presse schrieb dieser Tage, dass der US-Schlag gegen Iran spätestens Ende März 2007 zu erwarten sei. Der Angriff wird von der See aus geführt, während die Patriot-Systeme alle Ölobjekte der Region vor möglichen Gegenschlägen schützen sollen.

Russland hatte sich verpflichtet, 29 Fla-Raketenkomplexe an Iran zu liefern. Wie Iwanow betonte, stellen diese Lieferungen keinen Verstoß gegen die Iran-Resolution des UN-Sicherheitsrates vom Dezember dar, weil diese nicht für die früher geschlossenen Verträge gilt.

Indessen will sich der Iran offenbar nicht nur mit russischen Waffen, sondern auch mit einem „lebendigen Schild“ schützen. Neben den 3 000 russischen Fachleuten, die beim Bau eines Kernkraftwerks in Bushehr im Einsatz sind, soll eine größere Gruppe von IAEO-Experten nach Iran kommen, die die iranischen Nuklearobjekte vor dem erwähnten Bericht der Atomenergiebehörde inspizieren sollen. Außerdem will Teheran selbst eine Gruppe von IAEO-Experten, vorwiegend aus paktfreien Staaten, im Februar beziehungsweise März einladen.

Russische Experten halten allerdings einen US-Schlag gegen Iran für wenig wahrscheinlich. Die Verstärkung der militärischen Präsenz im Golfraum führen sie auf den Versuch zurück, psychologischen Druck auf Teheran auszuüben.

„In nächster Zeit ist kein Schlag zu erwarten“, meint der Politologe Alexej Bogaturow. Dies ist aus politischen Gründen äußerst schwer umzusetzen, wenn man die inneren Widersprüche in der US-Regierungsspitze berücksichtigt.

„Da die USA im Irak und in Afghanistan steckengeblieben sind, wäre es wahnwitzig, zusätzlich noch eine militärische Gewaltanwendung gegen Iran zu planen“, stellt Pawel Solotarjow, Vizedirektor des USA- und Kanada-Instituts der Russischen Wissenschaftsakademie, fest.

„Kommersant“: Terrorwarnung in Russland - Großübung vom Kreml oder blinder Alarm?

Den ganzen Mittwoch hat Russland auf einen Terroranschlag auf den öffentlichen Nahverkehr gewartet. Auf Anweisung von FSB-Chef Nikolai Patruschew, der auch Leiter des nationalen Anti-Terror-Komitees ist, wurden die Anti-Terror-Einheiten im gesamten Land in erhöhte Bereitschaft versetzt.

Die Bürger wurden zur Wachsamkeit aufgerufen. Zur Neutralisierung der vermeintlichen Terroristen wurden in der Moskauer Metro sogar die Mobiltelefonnetze abgeschaltet, berichtet die Tageszeitung „Kommersant“ am Donnerstag.

Der Grund für diese einmaligen Aktionen waren angeblich Informationen, die das Komitee von „ausländischen Partnern“ bekommen hat. Es wurde nicht präzisiert, was für Angaben das sind. Wie sich herausstellte, handelte es sich um eine beziehungsweise mehrere Gruppen, die über 60 Kilogramm Sprengstoff verfügen sollen, und darum, dass der Terroranschlag für den gestrigen Mittwoch in Moskau, Sankt Petersburg, Jekaterinburg und Nowosibirsk geplant gewesen sei. Das ging jedenfalls aus einem Schreiben des Komitees an die Verwaltungen für Inneres der russischen Großstädte hervor.

Gegen Mittwochabend gab das Komitee allerdings eine Erklärung ab, es habe sich um einen blinden Alarm gehandelt. „Die Informationen, die von ausländischen Kollegen eingegangen sind, fanden keine Bestätigung“, sagte Nikolai Sinzow, der offizielle Sprecher des Komitees. Er bedankte sich bei der Bevölkerung für ihre Wachsamkeit und teilte mit, dass aufgrund der Anrufe von Einwohnern mehrere Kilogramm Sprengstoff im Gebiet Tjumen sowie Pakete mit suspektem Inhalt in einer Moskauer Metrostation sichergestellt wurden. Danach wurde klar, dass das nationale Anti-Terror-Komitee bloß eine Übung absolvierte, an der die gesamte russische Bevölkerung teilnahm. [ RIA Novosti  / russland "

Moskau 19.01.07 (RIA Novosti)
Der Energiekonzern Gasprom fordert seine neuen Partner beim Sachalin-2-Projekt - die Unternehmen Shell, Mitsui und Mitsubishi - auf, die noch nicht aufgeteilten Abschnitte im Sachalin-3-Projekt zu erschließen und an entsprechenden Auktionen teilzunehmen.Das erfuhr die Tageszeitung „Wedomosti“ aus zwei Quellen, die Aktionären des Unternehmens Sakhalin Energy (Betreiber des Sachalin-2-Projekts) nahe stehen.

Wie ein Mitsubishi-Sprecher mitteilte, gibt es zwischen den Seiten eine Vereinbarung, sich an gemeinsamen Projekten auf der Insel Sachalin zu beteiligen. Konkrete Projekte seien dabei allerdings noch nicht benannt worden. Shell-Vertreter Maxim Schub wollte zwar Möglichkeiten eines Lizenzerwerbs für Sachalin-3 nicht kommentieren, erklärte jedoch, dass der Konzern Gasprom und seine Partner nicht nur am Erwerb von Lizenzen für Sachalin, sondern auch am Kauf von Gas aus anderen Sachalin-Projekten für eine Flüssiggasfabrik interessiert seien. Zu diesem Zweck könnte Sakhalin Energy auch die Kapazitäten der Fabrik erhöhen.

Der Wert der noch nicht aufgeteilten Sachalin-3-Abschnitte könnte bei 1,4 bis 1,8 Milliarden Dollar liegen, stellt Denis Borissow, Analyst der Investment- und Finanzgesellschaft Solid, am Freitag in der „Wedomosti“ fest. Für ihre Erschließung könnten Investitionen in Höhe von mehreren Milliarden Dollar erforderlich sein.

Die förderbaren Ressourcen der vier Sachalin-3-Abschnitte werden auf mehr als 700 Millionen Tonnen Öl und 1,3 Billionen Kubikmeter Gas geschätzt.

"Ein paar Gedanken zum Öl
von Miriam Kraus
Ich stelle mir die Frage, was hinter der schwachen Tendenz des Ölpreises steckt. Denn um ganz ehrlich zu Ihnen zu sein, liebe Leser, ich frage mich wie lange die ständig wechselnde Wetterlage noch als Auslöser für jede Schwankung in den Ölpreisen herhalten muss.
Denn bei diesen Auswirkungen bekommt man ja den Eindruck die USA wechselten ihr Klima wie ihre Unterhosen. Von sibirischer Kälte zu tropischen Gefilden innerhalb von zwei Tagen … Ich werde Ihnen im Folgenden ein paar Gedankengänge vorstellen, bei welchen es Ihnen natürlich frei steht diese zu interpretieren oder auch nur in Erwägung zu ziehen.
Zunächst einmal sollten Sie erfahren, dass zwei der OPEC Mitglieder sich nicht an die beschlossenen Förderkürzungen halten. Ironischerweise sind es ausgerechnet die beiden Staaten, welche immer am lautesten nach Kürzungen schreien: Der Iran und Venezuela. Tatsächlich förderte Caracas im letzten Monat sogar noch 20 000 Barrel pro Tag mehr als vorher. Die Beweggründe der beiden Staaten liegen auf der Hand…auf der einen Seite soll die Androhung von Förderkürzungen den Preis stabil halten, auf der anderen Seite ist das Einkommen bei grösseren Verkäufen eben höher.
Aber jetzt werden Sie erst wirklich staunen: Saudi Arabien hat erst Anfang Januar die Preise für sein arabisches Light Crude gesenkt. Für asiatische Kunden wurde der Preis um 10 cent, für europäische um 20 cent, aber für US Amerikaner um ganze – halten Sie sich fest – 1,75 US Dollar gesenkt.
Was hat das zu bedeuten?

Betrachten wir zunächst einmal die politische Lage im Nahen Osten. Auf der einen Seite haben wir mit dem Iran den zweitgrössten OPEC Exporteur. Der Iran hält etwa 10 % der weltweiten Ölreserven. Auf der anderen Seite hält der Iran die zweigrössten Erdgasreserven der Welt. Etwa 85 % der Exporteinkünfte erhält der Iran durch Energieexporte. Der grösste Abnehmer ist China. Über 12 % der Erdölimporte Chinas stammen aus dem Iran.
Im Dezember erst unterzeichneten der Iran und die chinesische CNOOC ein Abkommen zur gemeinsamen Entwicklung des iranischen Pars Gasfeldes.
Dies bekommt den USA allerdings gar nicht gut. Die Amerikaner haben Peking bereits mit Sanktionen gedroht, wenn das Projekt tatsächlich starten sollte.
Tatsächlich hatte sich aufgrund des US –amerikanischen Drucks die japanische INPEX bereits im Oktober von dem Projekt zurückgezogen. Die Chinesen scheinen auf die amerikanischen Drohungen allerdings nicht so viel zu geben.

Russland bietet den USA in der Iran Frage die Stirn
von Miriam Kraus
Russlands Premier Putin hat offenbar keine Probleme mit seinem iranischen Pendant. Tatsächlich strebt der Iran eine Zusammenarbeit mit dem russischen Gaskonzern Gazprom an. So ist eine mögliche Zusammenarbeit bei der Ausbeutung der massiven, iranischen Ölfelder Azadegan und Yardavan geplant. Auch diese Freundschaft passt so gar nicht in das Konzept der Amerikaner.
Doch in dieser Freundschaft liegt eine grössere Bedeutung, dank – sie werden lachen- Israel. Über 60 % der israelischen Ölimporte stammen nämlich aus Russland. Überdies sind in den iranischen Kernkraftanlagen vor allem russische Techniker beschäftigt. Auch die Israelis wissen, dass Putin einen Angriff auf iranische Kernkraftanlagen und vermutlich auch die Abnehmer des russischen Urans, nicht gut heissen dürfte.
Das heisst also der Iran hat nicht nur Feinde, sondern auch mächtige Freunde. Kommen wir zu dem Punkt an welchem wiederum Saudi Arabien ins Spiel kommt. Man möchte meinen die OPEC Staaten sind eine verbündete Einheit. Doch weit gefehlt! Oft sind vor allem die religiösen Unterschiede zu stark. Mit anderen Worten, die sunnitisch regierten Staaten wie Saudi Arabien, Jordanien und Ägypten können die Schiiten im Iran, Syrien, sowie die Hisbollah im Libanon und die Hamas in Gaza wirklich nicht riechen (verzeihen Sie den Ausdruck) und umgekehrt.
Die momentane Befürchtung der Saudis ist, dass sich die Amerikaner zu schnell aus dem Irak zurückziehen könnten und damit der schiitischen Miliz, mit Unterstützung durch den Iran freie Hand lassen.
Dies würde die Position der Schiiten in der Region enorm verstärken.
Ich glaube, dass könnte die Frage nach dem Preisgeschenk der Saudis an die Amerikaner erklären. Aber es gilt noch einen weiteren Aspekt zu erläutern: Die iranische Regierung ist ganz besonders von hohen Ölpreisen abhängig, da die Ausgaben in den letzten 5 Jahren derartig gestiegen sind, dass sie 15 % des Bruttoinlandsproduktes verschlingen. Hier sind vor allem die Subventionen der Bürger beim Häuserbau und die Subventionen des Benzins zu nennen.
Teheran versucht mit dieser Strategie schon seit Längerem seine Leute gefügig zu halten. Mit anderen Worten kann der Iran sich also sinkende Preise, genauso wenig wie einen Förderrückgang leisten um sein Einkommen nicht zu gefährden. Denn ein Einkommensrückgang würde unweigerlich zur Streichung der Subventionen und damit zu Aufständen in der Bevölkerung führen.
Die Frage ist für mich nur noch wer wohl ein grösseres Interesse daran hat, die Wirtschaft des Iran zu schwächen und innenpolitische Krisen herbei zu führen? Saudi Arabien oder die USA? Liebe Leser, ich danke Ihnen für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit. Sollten Sie Fragen oder Anregungen zu meinen Thesen haben, steht es Ihnen frei mich zu kontaktieren.

"*** Bin gerade auf ganz interessante Zahlen gestoßen, Stichwort Demographie. Eine der weltweit höchsten Bevölkerungswachstumsraten hat die moslemische Bevölkerung in der Bundesrepublik: Das Wachstum dieser Gruppe liegt bei 6,6%.
Da die deutsche Gesamtbevölkerung stagniert bzw. leicht zurückgeht, bedeutet dies natürlich, dass der Anteil der muslimischen Bevölkerung stetig wächst. Diese Bevölkerungsgruppe wächst aus drei Gründen so stark: 1. hohe Geburtenquote, 2. weitere Zuwanderung bzw. Ehepartner werden aus muslimischen Ländern geholt, 3. Zunehmend steigende Zahl deutscher Christen bzw. Atheisten, die zum Islam konvertieren (z.B. Frauen, welche einen Moslem heiraten). Die letzte Gruppe ist die kleinste, aber sie wächst mit dreistelligen Wachstumsraten.
Eine Hochrechnung dieser Entwicklung ergibt, dass in Deutschland spätestens ab 2047 die Hälfte der Bevölkerung moslemischen Glaubens ist. (Quelle für die genanten Daten: Eine noch unveröffentlichte Studie des Islam-Archivs in Soest, zitiert nach der „BZ“).

2."Die Lizenz für den Abbau des Vorkommens Kowykta, dessen Vorräte auf 2,1 Billionen Kubikmeter Gas geschätzt werden, gehört dem Unternehmen Russia Petroleum, in dem TNK-BP 62,4 Prozent gehören.TNK-BP ist nicht berechtigt, Gas zu exportieren, weil dem Konzern Gasprom das Monopolrecht für den Export aus Russland gehört.

Die Nettoeinnahmen aus dem Gasverkauf stiegen um 39 % auf 1,008 Bio. Rubel, was, laut Gasprom, auf die gestiegenen Preise beim Gasexport zurückzuführen ist.

Die Betriebskosten des Unternehmens stiegen um 72 % auf 1,012 Bio. Rubel, was sich durch die Konsolidierung der Gasprom Neft ergibt.
Der Gewinn vor Steuer wurde um 91 % auf 622,559 Mrd. Rubel gesteigert, die Nettoschulden nahmen um 4 % auf 767,465 Mrd. Rubel ab. Das Unternehmen hat einen Teil seiner Langzeitschulden beglichen.

Gazprom reported mixed 3Q06 results yesterday. Revenue and EBITDA exceeded our and the consensus forecasts, driven primarily by better than expected gas exports to Europe. However, operating cash flow generation remained weak, and net debt increased by $3.5bn as a result.

The company’s revenue of $18.3bn was surprisingly strong – we had expected $17.2bn and the consensus was $17.6bn. The main reason we see for the better than expected revenue performance was higher than forecast deliveries to Europe (33.9bcm vs. 32.1bcm forecast) and the FSU (24.4bcm vs. 22.3bcm expected). The company’s domestic deliveries of 48.8bcm fell short of the 53.2bcm we expected and Gazprom reported in its 3Q06 RAS accounts. FSU prices were surprisingly strong: $84/mcm net of taxes, compared to $68/mcm in 2Q06 and forecast by us for 3Q06. As a result of the above factors, Gazprom’s 3Q06 gas revenue came to $10.7bn, $700mn more than we expected and down only 6% q-o-q. The stronger than expected revenues from the sale of gas condensate and products also helped Gazprom achieve total revenue of $18.3bn, just 2% down q-o-q and 6% above our forecast.

Most of the strong revenue showing flowed directly to the EBITDA line, although total cash opex of $10.7bn was higher than the $10.2bn we forecast. All the key cost categories, except purchased gas costs and other operating expenses, were 13%-30% higher than we forecast. The company’s EBITDA came in at $7.6bn, about 8% above our forecast of $7.1bn and the consensus estimate of $6.9bn.

Adjusted net income of $4.3bn (excluding FX gains and deferred taxes) was below our forecast of $4.55bn, while the consensus had expected $4.4bn. We ascribe the weak net income performance mainly to higher than forecast depreciation charges and lower gains from equity investments in subsidiaries.

As has become traditional with Gazprom, cash flow generation was very weak, with operating cash flow of just $1.72bn reported for 3Q06 despite the $7.6bn in EBITDA and the $4.3bn in adjusted net income. The weak performance was primarily due to rising receivables; we estimate working capital increased by $2.7bn in 3Q06 from end-2Q06. Unable to finance its rising capex needs ($5.2bn in 3Q06 vs. $3bn in 2Q06) from internal cash flows, Gazprom had to resort to borrowing. As a result, net debt increased by $3.5bn to $25bn; interestingly, most of the increase came from higher short-term debt.

To summarize, Gazprom’s 3Q06 results painted the familiar picture of a company capable of capitalizing on the strong demand for its products and favorable pricing environment, but unable to convert this into hard cash. The results reported for 9M06 look in line with our full-year projections for all main P&L lines. However, our operating cash flow estimate of $19.8bn for 2006F now seems unattainable, given only $10.2bn in OCF reported for 9M06. We thus leave our estimates and end-2007 fair value of $12.3 per share unchanged and continue to rate Gazprom Hold.

Moskau 03.04.2007 (www.emfis.com)
Der russische Gasmonopolist Gazprom will der größte Energiekonzern der Welt werden. Diese Pläne gibt es schon seit langem. Nun aber scheinen die Pläne konkreter zu werden.

Alexander Medwedew, der Generaldirektor bei Gazprom Export, sagte, dass das Prinzip der gleichen Preise dieses Ziel unterstützen werde. Das Unternehmen will bis dahin sein Gas überall zu gleichen Preisen verkaufen, im In- wie im Ausland. Medwedew:" Es reicht uns nicht, 25 % des globalen Gasbedarfs zu decken, wir wollen der größte Energiekonzern der Welt werden." Er sprach auf dem fünften russischen Forum zum Brennstoof- und Energiesektor des 21. Jahrhunderts.

Gazprom will sein Tätigkeitsfeld weiter diversifizieren und zusätzlich zur Gasproduktion auf Öl, die Ölraffinierung und Stromerzeugung setzen.

Medwedew gab noch einige Zahlen seines Unternehmens bekannt: Der Gasmonopolist exportierte im Jahr 2006 151,5 Mrd. m³ Gas in 22 Länder, der Gesamtabsatz konnte mit 37,2 Mrd. USD mehr als verdoppelt werden. Die Marktkapitalisierung des Unternehmens stieg im Jahr 2006 auf 270 Mrd. USD. Im Jahr 2001 waren es 9 Mrd. USD.

BP-Engagement bei Gazprom gefährdet

 
29.05.07 09:32
MOSCOW, May 28 — The Russian government continued Monday to press its strategy of securing for Gazprom, the state-owned natural gas company, a monopoly on exports to Asia.In doing so, it is threatening an important investment by a big British rival, BP, with methods similar to those used last fall to force Royal Dutch Shell to sell a controlling stake in another energy development in the Russian Far East, the Sakhalin II project. Gazprom was also the beneficiary in that case. In the latest move, BP, which operates through a Russian joint venture, TNK-BP, slipped closer on Monday to losing its license to the Kovykta gas field when a Siberian court declined to hear its arguments.

Kovykta is BP’s largest natural gas project in Russia and is valuable because of its proximity to the fast-growing gas markets in China. The project appears to be slipping out of BP’s grasp.

Gazprom Leads Firms In Cut in Gas Output

 
31.05.07 08:19
Thursday, May 31, 2007.

Reuters
Domestic oil and gas firms showed rare solidarity Wednesday by quickly responding to a call from Gazprom to cut output to help handle excess gas after an abnormally warm winter.

Gazprom head Alexei Miller met executives from oil majors LUKoil, TNK-BP and gas firms Novatek and Itera, which agreed to reduce production by 8 percent until the end of the third quarter.

Gazprom said it would be forced to trim its own output to 557 billion cubic meters from the previously planned 560 bcm this year following a dramatic drop in exports to Europe. Last year, Gazprom produced 556 bcm.

"Today we have come to an agreement that all producers, including independent firms, have to cut gas production so that Gazprom's system can work stably," LUKoil head Vagit Alekperov, told reporters.

"I don't think we are talking here about a long-term cut. These are extraordinary circumstances, which are linked to the unusually warm winter," he said after the meeting, also attended by Viktor Vekselberg from TNK-BP, Leonid Mikhelson from Novatek and Igor Makarov from Itera.

Alekperov said LUKoil would have to review its investment program for the year.

It was unclear whether Rosneft or private Surgutneftegaz, the country's two top gas producers among oil firms, agreed to join cuts.

Gazprom's exports outside the former Soviet Union fell in the first four months of 2007 by 21.7 percent year on year to 46.79 bcm due to a much warmer winter than in 2006, when temperatures plunged toward record lows.

Diktatur hin Demokratie her auch Rußland kann sich der Globalisierung nicht entziehen und wird dies auch nicht wollen. Dennoch werden die strategisch wichtigen Öl- und Gasunternehmen zu 50,1 % in russischer Staatshand bleiben.

Die Zeiten, in denen sich die westlichen Länder in Rußland billige Öl- und Gasvorkommen sichern konnten sind vorbei. Der Yukos-Chef Michael Chodorkowski wurde entmachtet, weil er große Firmananteile in die USA verkaufen wollte. Dem 20 Mrd. $ Projekt von BP wurde von einem sibirischen Provinzgericht wegen nicht erfüllter Förderauflagen die Lizenz entzogen. Vergangenes Jahr entzogen russische Behörden Royal Dutch Schell die Förderlizenzen für das Gasfeld Sakhalin 2, wegen Umweltverschmutzung.

Einen Teil der horrenden Einahmen benutzt Putin bereits seit 2004 für einen Stabilisierungsfond nach dem Vorbild Norwegens. Ende dieses Jahres sind Neuwahlen. Putins Mandat kann nicht verlängert werden. Veilleicht hat Putin diese rigide Lizenzpolitik deshalb betrieben, um seinen mit Sicherheit feststehenden Nachfolger eine gemäßigtere Amtsführung zu ermöglichen. Zu hoffen wäre es.

Gazprom ISIN: US3682872078

Börse: Frankfurt in Euro/ Kursstand 31,10 Euro

Kursverlauf vom 19.03.2004 bis 28.06.2007  (log. Kerzenchartdarstellung / 1 Kerze = 1 Woche)

Rückblick: Die GAZPROM Aktie erreichte im Mai 2006 ihr Allzeithoch bei 42,26 Euro. Danach fiel sie schnell auf das 38,2% Retracement bei 25,81 Euro zurück.  Nach einer Erholung bis 37,49 Euro fiel die Aktie erneut auf diese Retracement zurück. Dort bildete die Aktie Ende Mai eine bullische Reversalkerze aus. Seitdem legt sie deutlich zu. Bei 33,43 Euro verläuft aktuell der Abwärtstrend seit Mai 2006.

Charttechnischer Ausblick: Durchbricht die GAZPROM Aktie den Abwärtstrend bei aktuell 33,43 Euro auf Wochenschlusskursbasis, dann kommt es zu einer Rallye bis 37,59 und später 42,26 Euro. Fällt die Aktie aber unter die Unterstützung bei 25,81 Euro ab, wären Abgaben bis ca. 15,76 Euro möglich.

      Kursverlauf vom 09.04.2004 bis 20.07.2007  (log. Kerzenchartdarstellung / 1 Kerze = 1 Woche)

      Rückblick: Die GAZPROM Aktie startete nach einem Tief bei 1,85 Euro im Oktober 1998 zu einer langfristigen Aufwärtsbewegung. Im September 2005 brach die Aktie über eine wichtige Pullbacklinie nach oben aus, was zu einer steilen Rallye bis auf das Allzeithoch bei 42,26 Euro führte. Seit diesem Hoch aus dem Mai 2006 korrigiert die Aktie. Bisher reichte  das 50% Retracement bei 25,81 Euro als Unterstützung in der Korrektur aus. Ende Mai drehte die Aktie exakt auf diesem Niveau stark nach oben. Bei 33,08 Euro verläuft aktuell der Abwärtstrend seit Mai 2006. Die Aktie notiert minimal darüber.

      Charttechnischer Ausblick: Durchbricht die GAZPROM Aktie den Abwärtstrend seit Mai 2006 bei aktuell 33,08 Euro signifikant in den nächsten 2-3 Wochen, dann wäre die Korrektur seit Mai 2006 wohl beendet und die Aktie könnte bis zunächst 42,26 und später ca. 55,00 Euro anziehen. Prallt die Aktie aber doch noch an diesem Abwärtstrend ab, wären ein nochmaliger Rücksetzer bis 25,81 Euro möglich.

Gazprom will Kraftwerke in Deutschland bauen

Der russische Stromkonzern Gazprom will auf dem deutschen
Markt Fuß fassen und hier Gaskraftwerke bauen. Mehrere Projekte sind laut Konzernspitze bereits in Planung.

Gazprom forever... 3730985

Der vom Kreml kontrollierte russische Gaskonzern Gazprom drängt auf den deutschen Strommarkt und will hier Gaskraftwerke bauen. "Wir haben mehrere Projekte in Deutschland in Vorbereitung", sagte Vize-Vorstandschef Alexander Medwedew der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung. "Mindestens zwei davon sind weit fortgeschritten."

Konkret nannte er den Bau eines großen Gaskraftwerks mit Eon-Ruhrgas in Lubmin nahe der Ostsee. Dort soll die geplante Ostsee-Pipeline auf das Festland treffen. Die Anlage solle ein Kapazität von mehr als 1000 Megawatt haben, hieß es unter Berufung auf Branchenkreise.

Für Unternehmensübernahmen, an denen dem halbstaatlichen Energiekonzern großes Interesse nachgesagt wird, gebe es keine konkreten Pläne: "Wir führen derzeit in Europa keine entsprechenden Gespräche." Allerdings wolle Gazprom künftig das Geschäft mit Endkunden aus den westeuropäischen Märkten forcieren. In Großbritannien seien bereits kleinere Unternehmen mit Endkunden gekauft worden.

In Deutschland habe Gazprom "heute kein Stadtwerk auf unserer Liste", sagte Medwedew, der bei Gazprom für das internationale Geschäft zuständig ist. In Eisenhüttenstadt solle mit der luxemburgischen Gesellschaft Soteg ein Gaskraftwerk gebaut werden, das wohl vor allem das Werk des Stahlkonzerns Arcelor-Mittal mit Strom beliefern würde.

Mit Blick auf Vorbehalte gegen die geplante Ostsee-Pipeline sagte Medwedew: "Wir werden das alles in voller Übereinstimmung mit den gesetzlichen und ökologischen Anforderungen der EU und der betroffenen Länder erledigen."

Neben Schweden hat inzwischen auch Finnland unter Hinweis auf Umweltrisiken die geplante Pipeline kritisiert. Helsinki fordert eine andere Route für die Gasleitung weil beim aktuellen Verlauf giftiges Cadmium vom Meeresboden aufgewirbelt werden könnte, wie der finnische Umweltminister Kimmo Tiilikainen dem Tagesspiegel am Sonntag sagte.

Medwedew nannte es in der FAZ einen "Albtraum", wenn das Pipeline-Projekt scheitern würde. "Europa würde dann 55 Milliarden Kubikmeter Gas weniger bekommen. Wer ist dann verantwortlich für die Versorgungslücke, die Preisexplosion?" Gazprom hält die Mehrheit an der Pipeline-Betreibergesellschaft Nord Stream.

Insgesamt wolle Gazprom sein Geschäft diversifizieren und stärker auf Rohöl, Ölprodukte und Strom setzen, sagte Medwedew. "Wir werden unsere Aktivitäten auf Länder wie China, Korea, Japan, Amerika und Kanada ausdehnen."

Gazprom ist nach 1 1/2 jähriger Konsolidierung

auf dem Weg zum ATH von 41,60 €.

Die baldige Erhöhung der russischen Gaspreise um 10% würde für Gazprom erhebliche Mehreinnahmen bringen. Russische Haushalte zahlen bisher nur etwa 40% des in Europa üblichen Preises. Deshalb auch der Druck vor ein paar Monaten auf die russischen Lieferungen in die Ukraine. Gewinne macht Gazprom ausschließlich mit dem Export, nicht jedoch mit dem eigenen Markt.

Daneben ist es der größte Selbstbedienungsladen des Landes, wo die gesamte Coleur der russischen Politiker ihre finanziellen Vorteile daraus ziehen. Würde das Unternehmen nach westlichen Standards geführt und bewertet werden, müsste es mindestens 3-4 mal so viel kosten.

Putin und Miller werden diese Standards nach und nach den westlichen angleichen. Abgesehen davon sind die Gas- aber auch Ölreserven der Firma Gazprom schier unermesslich.

Der Weg zum Energieweltmarktführer ist vorprogrammiert. Da wird die Russen nichts aufhalten können.

Gasprom und Ukraine einigen sich auf Gaspreis für 2008
10:03 | 05/ 12/ 2007
 


MOSKAU, 05. Dezember (RIA Novosti). Gasprom-Vorstandsvorsitzender Alexej Miller und der ukrainische Engergieminister Juri Boiko haben am Dienstag in Moskau vereinbart, dass der Gaspreis für die Ukraine ab der Grenze im kommenden Jahr 179,5 Dollar pro 1 000 Kubikmeter betragen wird.

Wie aus einer Mitteilung des russischen Energiekonzerns hervorgeht, wird der Transittarif sowohl in der Ukraine als auch in Russland für Kiew jeweils bei 1,7 Dollar liegen.

Der aktuelle Transittarif beträgt 1,6 Dollar für 1 000 Kubikmeter pro 100 Kilometer.

Seit dem 1. Januar 2007 kaufte die Ukraine ausschließlich Gas aus Zentralasien zu einem Preis von 130 Dollar pro 1 000 Kubikmeter.

Die Anhebung des Gaspreises für die Ukraine um 19,5 Dollar gegenüber dem zuvor angekündigten Tarif war damit verbunden, dass Gasprom einer Anhebung des Preises für das turkmenische Gas von 100 auf 130 Dollar im ersten Halbjahr und auf 150 Dollar im zweiten Halbjahr zustimmte. Dies musste sich auch auf den Endpreis für die ukrainische Seite auswirken.
