“…Changes in the geopolitics of energy markets have been marked by tensions and synergies between Russia's multiple role in the international energy arena, as a producer, consumer, exporter, importer and transit state, and the fast emerging and dynamic energy actors in Northeast Asia such as China, Japan and South Korea (Shadrina & Bradshaw, 2013). For example, China has become an important energy producer while increasing industrial standards and investing heavily in low carbon energy as part of its drive to decarbonise its energy systems (Urban, 2009).…”

“…Russia's push for further diversifying its oil export markets by increasing its supply capacity to Asia‐Pacific is the key change foreseen in the trade flows depicted above. Currently, efforts are being made in this country to expand the ‘eastern vector.’ Russia needs and counts on foreign investment from Asia‐Pacific, particularly China, for developing new oil supply sources and building pipelines to Asia‐Pacific . Assuming this country manages to obtain and absorb such investments, a significant part of the volumes of the oil previously exported to Europe is expected to be redirected to Asia‐Pacific.…”

The liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade provides the means of trading gas globally and represents about 10% of the gas trade. The forecasts show the LNG business will grow, over the next 20 years, at about twice the rate of the whole gas trade. Although the current state of LNG trade is well studied, the literature on the future business structure of it is limited and conflictual. This work considers the future LNG business structure by comparing the development trajectories of the oil and LNG sectors. In addition, it assesses the conclusions drawn by researchers against this background and the current pattern of change in the industry. The comparison involves three stages: (1) trade flows-oil and LNG trade flows are very similar, mainly due to the common distribution of the oil and gas reserves. (2) Supply chain configuration-the international trade for both fuels is tanker based thus allowing for a similar market responsive trade policy, i.e., real-time destination selection (spot sale) at a global scale. (3) Institutional developmentsthe current transparent and competitive global oil trade, with prices dominated by physical and paper markets, was driven previously by long-term contracts, in the same manner as the current LNG business. This analysis, together with transaction cost economics, supports the argument that, in future, LNG spot trade will increase and give rise to a competitive and globally unified LNG market. Furthermore, LNG pricing will become transparent and would be dominated by physical and paper markets benchmark prices.

“…It is also a significant source of income for the Russian government (Mitrova 2014). The natural gas industry is an important element in Russia's development of remote parts of the country's vast geography, in the Arctic, Siberia, and the Far East (Shadrina and Bradshaw 2013). The organization and efficiency of the industry therefore has consequences in several directions.…”

Russia’s gas “Triopoly”: implications of a changing gas sector structure

The growth strategies of the two largest so-called independent Russian gas producers-Novatek and Rosneft-as well as developments in international markets and changing domestic energy needs-have put pressure on the present Russian gas sector model dominated by Gazprom. The three companies are involved in a struggle over export liberalization as well as the conditions in the domestic market. An analysis of the resource base of the two Independents indicates that liquefied natural gas (LNG) is top priority for Novatek and that Rosneft's main gas focus is on eastern Russia and Asia, but there is still room for considerable tension with Gazprom. The government is faced with a dilemma, as it both wants to improve Russia's position in export markets and maintain stable domestic supplies, including to socially disadvantaged regions and institutions. Gazprom is insisting that if further access to export markets is granted to the Independents, then they must take greater responsibility for domestic market obligations, while on the other hand the key Independents seem intent on stopping or slowing down their expansion in the domestic market in order to prioritise export sales, and will certainly not take broader domestic supply responsibilities without better access to export markets. The balancing of policies will be difficult since it involves strong players on the Russian economic and political scene, all with ties to the Kremlin.
