  1. Natural gas for Ukraine, Russia and Europe: where next? Simon Pirani Senior Research Fellow Oxford Institute for Energy Studies International Security Forum, Lviv, 16 April 2010

  2. MAIN POINTS • The impact of economic crisis on the European gas market • The effect of crisis, and recovery, on Russia and other CIS producers • Ukraine’s gas trade after the 2009 ‘gas war’ • Prospects for international cooperation

  3. Observed gas demand, OECD Europe (bcm) It may return to pre-crisis levels only in 2013-14 Source: IEA

  4. Changes in the European marketOil-linked prices may not be with us forever

  5. Natural gas imports to OECD Europefirst nine months of the year, Bcm Russia lost market share

  6. A very different outlook for Russia and Gazprom Worries about a ‘supply squeeze’ have gone. Now there are questions about long-term demand. Gazprom’s big projects are being delayed ... Gazprom will face competition in Europe from LNG... Russia’s dominance in central Asia has been undermined by the Turkmenistan-China pipeline ... In Russia, Gazprom is under pressure from the oil companies and Novatek ...

  7. Main sources of supply to Russia’s gas balance, 2008-2009 (bcm)

  8. Turkmen gas exports, 2008-2011 (bcm)

  9. Ukraine after the January 2009 ‘gas war’ • Nord Stream will be built and Ukraine’s bargaining power will be reduced • Ukraine will pay European-linked prices for imports • Gas consumption must be cut – by energy-saving, not industrial slump • Production could be increased

  10. Russian gas export capacity to Europe up to 2015: transit via Ukraine could be reduced

  11. Ukraine’s demand collapse, 2009 monthly consumption, as % of same month in 2008 Demand destruction concentrated in industry, but slowly recovering since the spring 11

  12. Ukraine’s 2009 gas imports problem was converted into a cash problem * Source: energy ministry, Naftogaz. ** Assuming oil at $70/bbl ... the IMF counted $3bn Naftogaz operating deficit as part of Ukraine’s fiscal shortfall But what will happen in 2010?

  13. Europe, Ukraine and Russia: areas of possible cooperation TRANSIT AND STORAGE: How could a consortium work to the benefit of all? Could Ukraine become a storage provider? REDUCING CONSUMPTION: In industry, it will depend on sourcing investment Municipal services reform is hard (in Russia too) What about price reform, and Naftogaz structure? INCREASING GAS PRODUCTION IN UKRAINE: What type of investment environment? The more transparency, the better 13
