Алексей Миллер: «Газпром обладает уникальным опытом, знаниями и современными технологиями, является самой передовой компанией в мире в области транспортировки газа по магистральным газопроводам. Поэтому для нас представляет интерес, например, участие в таком крупномасштабном проекте, как строительство газопровода из Аляски. Мы уже сделали соответствующее предложение нашим партнерам — компаниям „Коноко Филипс“ (Conoco-Philips) и „Бритиш Петролеум“ (British Petroleum)».

| Gazprom has bought OGK-6 | | 2007-12-25 04:51:39 | | Dec. 25 (Bloomberg) -- OAO Gazprom, Russia's biggest company, is set to gain control of OAO OGK-6, the nation's third-largest power generator by capacity, after spending almost 21 billion rubles ($850 million) on new shares. Gazprom will own a little more than 50 percent in OGK-6 following Unified Energy's breakup after purchasing the 5.5 billion new shares, according to Bloomberg calculations. Gazprom is poised to dominate two out of the six national wholesale generating companies, or OGKs, being created under reforms to introduce competition and raise investment for the world's fourth-largest power network.The arrangement gives Gazprom influence over power supplies as far east as Siberia and in cities including Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia's largest cities.

"As a result of a share swap between minority holdings comprised of UES shareholders, Norilsk Nickel, Gazprom and [coal mining company] SUEK, Gazprom's share in OGK-2 and OGK-6 will grow to 55% and 52%, respectively. Gazprom will also receive a 5% stake in [territorial generating company] TGK-11, over 4% in TGK-12, and a little under 5% in TGK-13," Anatoly Chubais said. He said SUEK will see its stake in TGK-12 increase to 5%, while Norilsk Nickel will acquire 14% in OGK-3. "Therefore, neither SUEK nor Norilsk Nickel will gain direct control," Chubais said. He said only Gazprom will have a controlling stake in the two companies, but that the gas monopoly's control could be lost after a new share issue.

It's Good that Gazprom Opened Up to Foreign Partners. Do the political disagreements between Russia and the West reflect on the investment climate in Russia? The Russia economy is undergoing rapid growth now. It is growing much faster than anyone could have predicted five of ten years ago. To support that growth, a legal infrastructure, a court system, is needed. Russia understands very well. Russia understands that it has to tae additional steps for the development of the tax system.

The unexpected triumph over the South Korean resort of PyeongChang by just four votes in voting in Guatemala City was immediately attributed - and not just by Russian officials - to President Vladimir Putin, an avid sportsman whose favorite skiing resort, Krasnaya Polyana above Sochi, will be a big center for the Winter Games. Taking a leaf from Tony Blair's successful personal lobbying to win the 2012 summer Games for London, Putin went to Guatemala to lobby voters and lead Sochi's presentation.

| | RUSSIA: Gazprom '06 Profit Doubles to $24.6Bln | | 2007-06-30 02:21:00 | | Gazprom said Thursday that its profit more than doubled last year to 636.5 billion rubles ($24.6 billion) on the back of higher oil and gas prices and the acquisition of its oil arm, Gazprom Neft.The state-controlled gas giant said its revenue, calculated to international accounting standards, rose to 2.15 trillion rubles in 2006 from 1.38 trillion rubles in 2005.Domestic sales rose 15 percent, while sales in the rest of the former Soviet Union jumped 93 percent on steep price hikes. European net sales jumped 37 percent, also as prices sharply rose.Sales to domestic industry will begin to turn a modest profit -- at the rate of 4.5 percent -- next year, Gazprom deputy CEO Andrei Kruglov said at a news conference earlier Thursday. The profit rate will increase to 13 percent in 2009 and 25 percent in 2010, he said.Kruglov reiterated that the firm intends to buy 20 percent of its oil subsidiary, Gazprom Neft, from Eni, just days after the Italian energy group expressed hopes of holding on ... | | By: energy BLOG | | |
| | RUSSIA: is a Gazprom a new Major ? | | 2007-06-28 05:13:00 | | Gazprom Overestimated E.OnNegotiations on the exchange of assets between Gazprom and E.On as part of the project to develop the Yuzhno-Russkoe deposit may fail. The monopoly's management has stated that, if its German partners do not accept their conditions by the end of the summer, they may be excluded from the project. Industry analysts say that the assets offered by E.On are cheaper than the Russian assets, and Gazprom is justified in asking for supplemental payment. If E.On renounces its share in the Yuzhno-Russkoe deposit, it may be offered to the Dutch Gasunie. Deputy chairman of the Gazprom supervisory board Alexander Medvedev stated yesterday that the company intends to reconsider the conditions for the exchange of assets between E.On as part of the project to develop the Yuzhno-Russkoe deposit.They may not let the Germans into the Yuznho-Russkoe deposit“The key question in the negotiations is to what extent the assets that have been proposed correspond to our strategic g... | | By: energy BLOG | | |
| | RUSSIA: Gazprom Buys TNK-BP's Kovykta Stake | | 2007-06-23 15:30:00 | | Gazprom on Friday sealed a deal to buy out TNK-BP's stake in the giant Kovykta gas field, ending years of wrangling over BP's flagship project in the country. The agreement was signed at a Kremlin ceremony overseen by First Deputy Prime Minister and Gazprom chairman Dmitry Medvedev, who is a leading contender to succeed President Vladimir Putin. Putin has stepped up the drive to bring oil and gas reserves back into the folds of the state as his presidential term nears its end in March 2008. Gazprom will pay between $700 million and $900 million for TNK-BP's 62.9 percent stake in Rusia Petroleum, which holds the license to develop Kovykta. A Gazprom spokesman said the company was not in talks to buy out Rusia's other two shareholders, Vladimir Potanin's Interros holding and the Irkutsk regional government. TNK-BP, a 50-50 joint venture between BP and a trio of Russian billionaires, can exercise a call option to buy back a stake of 25 percent plus one share at "an independently veri... | | By: energy BLOG | | |
| | RUSSIA: Gazprom Gains BP Gas Field as Putin Tightens Control | | 2007-06-22 21:26:00 | | OAO Gazprom took control of BP Plc's stake in a Siberian deposit with enough natural gas to supply Asia for five years as President Vladimir Putin ends foreign ownership of Russia's biggest energy assets. State-run Gazprom will pay as much as $900 million for the 63 percent of the Kovykta field held by BP's TNK-BP unit and half its regional pipeline unit, and agreed to set up a $3 billion global venture, executives from the three companies said in the Kremlin today. BP's shares closed 0.7 percent higher. ``This is almost a billion dollars more than they might otherwise have gotten,'' said Roland Nash, the head of research at Renaissance Capital investment bank in Moscow. ``All global hydrocarbon companies are in the process of renegotiating their positions in Russia, and the government holds all the trumps.''

| | Gazprom wants all of Sakhalin : Is the monopoly too big to handle? | | 2007-06-21 00:03:40 | | The Russian government may now have a very big headache to deal with in its oil and gas sector, its own creation - Gazprom. The more you feed the giant, the greedier it gets. After the Russian monopoly was given sizable stakes in most natural gas projects on Russian soil, in some cases the stakes were taken away from foreign companies, as well as being granted the exclusive right to export Russian natural gas, Gazprom remains unsatisfied.Earlier this week, Gazprom's deputy head Sergei Ananenkov stated that because Gazprom would not be able to fulfill the natural gas supply requirements to Russia's Far East before 2014 with its new Sakhalin-3 project, it should be given the right to buy the natural gas produced on Sakhalin-1 (co-owned by Exxon Mobil and Rosneft, among others) who are already in talks of exporting that gas to China.Many see such statements as Gazprom's attempts to wrest control over all the major Sakhalin energy projects. After buying out Royal Dutch Shell's 50% + 1 share stake in Sakhalin-2 late last year amid active pressuring from the Kremlin to revoke Shell's license for the project outright, Gazrpom with the help of the Russian government's several ministries is seeking to attain control over the Sakhalin-3 project without a formal auctioning process. And now, Gazprom has been complaining about the violation of its unique natural gas exporting right status while the companies controlling Sakhalin-1 plan to export gas to China.Kommersant cites experts saying Gazprom's statements of a deficit of energy resources in Russia's Far East are only a pretext. Gazprom's real goal is to negotiate export prices to China out of Sakahlin-1 itself (and presumably decide on further allocations of natural gas) rather than let the consortium members do it. Right now exporting natural gas is a much more lucrative business than selling it within Russia, due to a large disparity in prices and government subsidies.As Vremya Novostey reports, Gazprom's action... | | By: Russia\\\'s True Tales of Terra | | |
| | RUSSIA: Gazprom to Squeeze Gas out of Coal | | 2007-06-16 21:40:00 | | Gazprom found new resources of natural gas: it will soon begin developing a coalmine methane deposit in Kuzbass. The monopoly estimates the potential of the region’s deposits at 13 trillion cubic meters.Yet, experts say it is hard and costly to extract this kind of gas, in Russia it is productive only together with coal extraction. Gazprom can do it within the JV with Siberian Coal Energy Company. Still, experts believe the project will be aimed not so much at gas itself as at obtaining quotas within the framework of the Kyoto protocol.The monopoly begins developing coalmine methane Gazprom’s deputy chairman Alexander Ananenkov said that “very soon, already in 2007, the company will begin intensive works for developing coalmine methane deposits”. The CEO added that Gazprom is ready to begin the large-scale production of methane in Kuzbass in 2008-2009.Ananenkov estimated the total deposits in the region at 13 trillion cubic meters. In early 2007, Gazprom announced the creat... | | By: energy BLOG | | |
| | MALAYSIA: Gazprom Signs with Malaysian Petronas | | 2007-06-16 18:35:00 | | Gazprom and the Malaysian Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) have signed a memorandum of cooperation on the production, transport and storage of natural gas. The companies have no specific projects yet. Analysts say that Petronas is a very successful gas exporter that may be helpful to Gazprom for dividing spheres of influence on the liquefied natural gas market and setting prices. Gazprom deputy chairman Alexander Medvedev and Petronas president Mohd Hassan Marican et at the 12th Asian petroleum conference in Kuala Lumpur. The memorandum they signed foresees joint projects in Malaysia, Russia and third countries and sets out the principles of cooperation for the construction of gas infrastructure, including pipelines, underground reservoirs and regasification terminals.

| | ASIA: China Rejects Gazprom Gas Deal | | 2007-06-16 06:17:00 | | Yet another round of talks on gas exports from Russia to China has fallen through after China’s CNPC refused last weekend to buy fuel from Gazprom at more than $100/1,000 cu. meters, a Kommersant source reports. Selling gas at $100 would be unprofitable for Gazprom which plans to sell it at $125 on the domestic market after 2011. Industry experts say that the first gas will be sent to China no earlier than in 2014. Russian gas monopolist Gazprom and China’s CNPC discussed possible gas sales at the International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg last Sunday. The two sides did not reach a final agreement as the Chinese oil and gas corporation tries to negotiate a lower price while hoping to buy fuel from Sakhalin-1, according to Gazprom foreign relations director Stanislav Tsygankov.

| | RUSSIA: Gazprom Reserves Estimated at $182.5bn | | 2007-06-16 00:36:00 | | Today’s worth of Gazprom reserves is estimated at $182.5 billion, Gazprom Neft has $24 billion, RIA Novosti reported referring to Alexander Ananenkov, deputy chairman of Gazprom management committee. The current worth of Gazprom reserves stands at $182.5 billion, Ananenkov said, pointing out that the amount doesn’t take into account Gazprom Neft reserves estimated at $24 billion. So, the aggregate worth of Gazprom reserves reaches $206.5 billion.“Our partners have definite confidence in reliability of resource base of Gazprom,” Ananenkov emphasized. As to the gas production, it will probably reach 670 billion cu meters in 2020, though the target is just 590 billion cu meters, Ananenkov said. “With positive or super-positive market environment, we can reach this level of production,” Ananenkov pointed out, specifying that 2010 production is forecasted at 560 billion cu meters at the maximum but may sour to 570 billion cu meters in case of need.LSE, Gazprom, Rosneft CEOs ... | | By: energy BLOG | | |
| | Surprise-surprise, Mr. Blair - Gazprom goes for Britain | | 2007-06-12 04:08:00 | | In an apparent test of Britain's free-market intentions, Gazprom's deputy executive Alexander Medvedev (not to be confused with Dmitri Medvedev, Gazprom's Chairman and potential successor to Mr. Putin) announced at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum on Sunday that the Russian gas monopoly was close to a deal increasing its presence in the British energy market. As CNN Money reports Mr. Medvedev' announcement: "In the near future, there will be a deal to further increase the customer base on the British market," Medvedev said, according to media reports. The executive added that anyone in London for the Wimbledon tennis tournament, which starts at the end of June, would hear about the deal.

Moor said the venture, led by Gazprom's chemicals arm, Sibur, and up to 30 percent owned by gas firm Novatek, had already signed a deal to invest more than $2 billion in the plant. "It would be the biggest production of polypropylene in the world. It would cover most of Russia's needs for this material. The rest would go for exports," Moor told a news conference. Asked how the venture would fund the project, Moor said: "Bond issues and probably share issues." He also said the local administration would give tax breaks to help the project. Sibur and Novatek unveiled the idea of building the plant in February, saying Novatek would supply the gas for the plant if it went ahead. Moor said that in the first, three-year stage, which is already underway, the venture would invest $1 billion to launch the plant in 2010... | | By: energy BLOG | | |

The Russian roulette - and next stop, LibyaRussian authorities are expected to revoke TNK-BP's licence to operate the huge Kovykta field, with an estimated 2 trillion cubic metres of gas reserves, although a final decision was delayed on Friday for two weeks. A bigger headache still for Lord Browne's successor, Tony Hayward, is the impending sale by BP's Russian partners of their 50 per cent stake in the joint venture, which is responsible for about a quarter of the group's reserves and total production.

| | Gazprom: In Perspective | | 2007-05-04 19:21:00 | | by Simon LewisOn April 18, OAO Gazprom, the Russian state-owned gas monolith, gained the controlling stake in Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd.
