Energianews: Gazprom's monopoly in Europe destroyed

January 8 2021 70

On the last day of 2020, the first gas pipeline began operation, which not only bypasses Russia and its "raw" claims, but also provides Europe with inexpensive "blue fuel" from Azerbaijani suppliers. The Polish resource Energianews writes about a new source of gas for Poland and other European countries, as well as the destruction of the monopoly of Russian Gazprom on the EU gas market.

We are talking about the Azerbaijani pipeline PKG - the Southern Gas Corridor, which consists of three gas pipelines running through Georgia, Turkey and the Caspian and Adriatic Seas. The new gas route bypasses Russia and Ukraine. Thus, gas does not come from inexhaustible Russian fields, but from a completely new source on the EU market - the offshore Shah Deniz field, whose proven reserves are 1,2 trillion cubic meters of natural gas and 240 million tons of gas condensate.

It is expected that Baku will be able to supply more than 10 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe annually for at least 25 years. Of these, about 8 billion cubic meters will go to Italy, and 1 billion cubic meters - to Greece and Bulgaria. The rest will be sold in neighboring markets (Albania has already signed a fuel supply contract).

Russia closely followed the construction of PKG, but kept a cool head. Gazprom and the experts supporting it do not deviate from the thesis about the possibilities of endless supplies of Russian gas, the largest pipeline system and the brand of a reliable supplier. It was only when the Southern Gas Corridor project was nearing completion that the Russians resorted to a tried and tested instrument of punishing their former republics for insubordination. Rosselkhoznadzor banned the import of tomatoes and apples from Azerbaijan on November 10.

So far, the annual 10 billion cubic meters of PNG gas do not pose a clear threat to Gazprom, which in 2020 sold almost 180 billion cubic meters of fuel abroad. However, Moscow understands that PKG opens up new opportunities for the European Union. If Turkmenistan, which has the fourth largest gas reserves in the world, joins the gas pipeline, the volume of transportation can be doubled. It is also possible to build another parallel PKG line, which will further increase the capacity of the gas route. In addition, there are many who want to buy Azerbaijani gas, which is cheaper than Russian.

Azerbaijan is still on the brink of a war with Armenia, and Turkey can also drag Baku into a war with the Russian Federation, so supplies from this country are not unambiguous and of questionable reliability.

In order to lay a gas pipe from Turkmenistan to Azerbaijan, it is necessary to drive a pipe-laying vessel and auxiliary vessels into the Caspian Sea.
How to do it past Russia? Will Russia agree to this? Here are two simple questions.

        Thanks for the offer, but I guess I'll refuse. I have nothing to do there, I'm not sure about the reliability of railway transport in those places, and it is restless there, they fight from time to time.
        Tbilisi is not exactly Azerbaijan or Turkey, which means it will have to negotiate with the Georgians, which is somewhat problematic, given the intention to build a road bypassing Georgia. On the one hand, you deprive them of transit, and on the other hand, you agree on the other. They may not go to meet the wishes. But this is not so important. If you have noticed, initially we are talking about the delivery of gas from Turkmenistan. This problem is much more serious. I also recommend looking at the map. There are three delivery options from there. Through Russia, Iran or the Caspian. In the first case, to negotiate with Russia, in the second with Iran, in the third, simultaneously with Russia and Iran. Tellingly, both these countries will not allow large gas suppliers and Turkmen gas to Europe under any conditions. They don't need a competitor. Without their agreement with them, the pipeline cannot be extended across the Caspian Sea; it is still a solution to the problem. And Azerbaijan cannot independently fill the pipe in the volumes that Europeans dream of. As a result, they can get Russian gas through Azerbaijan. If they want to pump Russian gas through the pipes of the Caucasus and Asia Minor, so as to end up buying it at a higher price, let them do it.

        Without filling the pipe with Turkmen gas, coordinating the route makes no sense. For now, anyway. Azerbaijan simply does not have that much gas.

        According to various data, Turkmenistan ranks first or fourth in the world in terms of gas reserves. It is not doing well with the infrastructure, but it fulfills its obligations to the main buyer of Turkmen gas - China. She will most likely focus on this area.
        After the signing of the Caspian Convention, in theory, Turkmen gas could go through the Caspian to Europe. Environmental approvals of the pipeline by the Caspian countries are unlikely to be an obstacle. It is difficult to predict here. There are many different factors.

Key question: What is the buyer interested in? In this case, it is the European Union. And he is interested in as many gas sellers as possible, which enables the buyer to put pressure on prices. And most importantly, the buyer is categorically not interested in the monopoly of any seller in this market and will do everything to ensure that the withdrawal of any seller from the market would not become a tragedy and a replacement would be easily found for him.

  Azerbaijan even signed an agreement with Gazprom on additional supplies of 5 billion cubic meters of gas.
  That is, the gas that Azerbaijan pumps through the TAP also contains Russian gas. And if Azerbaijan continues to behave incorrectly, not only the export of tomatoes and apples may be cut off, but also the gas valve.

It is Azerbaijan that pumps foreign, Russian (by origin) gas. But this gas was bought by Azerbaijan, legally it is already the gas of Azerbaijan. And Russia just sold gas on the border with Azerbaijan. His further fate has nothing to do with Russia.

        And as an illustration, they brought this strange picture? Why strange? In open sane sources, there is a figure indicating the share of Gazprom at the current moment about 34%. At the highest .... the share of Russia is determined at a 18%. But gas is supplied to the European market not only by Gazprom and it goes not only through pipes, LNG is also supplied. So the statistics are at least "crafty". I do not know what it was, you deliberately brought inaccurate information, in fact, you lied or, as usual, thoughtlessly provide any information confirming your point of view. In any case, your comment stinks a mile away.
        By the way, I found this picture
        
        "Writing by a Foreign Agent" I didn't recognize him from the photograph.
        https://taxfree.livejournal.com/2632835.html
        
        It doesn't matter though. Look at the link, in the first illustration the share of Russia is 18%, in the second 49%. These are your sources
        
        I have never denied the inevitability of crises in the capitalist system.
        In Germany, with its developed industry, there is something to fall. In this, Russia is clearly lagging behind.
        Someone considers it a blessing.
        
        Oh yeah!!! Russia is lagging behind in this, moreover, it is not going to approach the edge of the pit. And many really consider it a blessing, apparently you are not one of them.
        
        As the Ukrainian experience shows, pumping someone else's gas through its pipelines can bring good profits.
        
        Are you slipping into outright stupidity? Pumping gas through Ukraine is a forced measure and is due to the countermeasures of the "Western partners". the fact that Gazprom's supplies allow it to operate even under these conditions speaks of a colossal margin of safety. Pumping gas through Azerbaijan has nothing to do with economics and common sense. This is politics in its purest form. European political bankrupts cannot admit their mistake and dependence on the United States and continue to stubbornly eat the cactus. To think that Russia is interested in this is an outright lie.

      In 2011, Europe consumed 257.7 billion cubic meters. gas. Of these, Gazprom's 218.83 billion cubic meters.

        First, there are no data for the last 3 years.
        Secondly, over the years, gas consumption by the European Union has grown significantly, and the amount of gas supplied to Europe by Russia is stagnating. Hence the significant drop in Gazprom's share in percent.

        And who cares about interest? Gazprom produces as much as it produces.
        The Netherlands just stopped mining. And in percentage and in cubes. Norway also has production constantly changing. Now there is a short recovery, the last large field has been launched. Three years later there will be a final decline.

We are talking about the Azerbaijani pipeline PKG - the Southern Gas Corridor, which consists of three gas pipelines running through Georgia, Turkey and the Caspian and Adriatic Seas.

I see that Europeans are rapidly catching up with Americans in terms of their knowledge of geography. I tried to build a route: Azerbaijan - Georgia - Turkey - Caspian Sea - Adriatic Sea. It is strange that they are silent about the area that runs along the bottom of the Belarusian Sea.

Tellingly, Russia is not a monopoly on the EU gas market, Gazprom's share is now about 34%, including LNG, if I am not mistaken, not much more than 40%. The share of Azerbaijan in the future is about 6%. In general, the usual propaganda - let's stop the aggressive and totalitarian Russian gas. Will go to zatyukanny burghers.

15 billion cubic meters of gas versus almost 200 billion cubic meters supplied by Gazprom. Is this a joke? And if we consider that 5 billion of these 15 are supplied by Gazprom?) This is even a blessing for Gazprom! No one else can say that Gazprom is a monopoly on the EU (pipeline gas) market. )))

Well, firstly, TAP-tanap of the Russian Federation does not represent any real thunderstorm. 10 million cubic meters per year is nothing. 179 billion is what Gazprom sold in 2020.
Secondly, the original Shah Deniz field has not been fulfilling gas plans for several years already, moreover, there has been a tendency to inject this very gas back into the reservoirs for several years to increase the oil recovery from Sh-D. And the trend is accelerating, there will be less and less gas. In general, Sh-D does not, in fact, confirm the parameters that they were given at the beginning of the project at the stage of exploration. This is in fact.

What are the threats if Azerbaijan does not have excess gas right now, and in the future the situation will only get worse.

The West quickly taught us to love the Motherland, otherwise they rolled our lips: the market, capitalism, the WTO, we will sell our own, we will buy what we need. The Lilliputians of Gulliver were entangled with ropes, but they did not manage to tie Russia economically. We do not need a monopoly; Gazprom's turn to the East continues. Everything has its time.

It is unambiguous that the text was written in order to calm the sickly Khokhlyak and Polish patriots. As far as I know (if someone has not already described it) they have been cheering this public with such news for many years, but this news hardly brings any particular joy if you look at the technical information.
If somehow they do not come to an agreement with the Turkmen, the hot Azeri guys have nothing to fill this gas pipeline with and they are forced to bribe the Russian one so that at least somehow it will work. AI, based on the fact that the Azerbaijanis themselves do not hide, with gas they are not as rosy as the Poles would like. And who knows, maybe soon this gas pipeline will again pump gas from Gazprom, with a touch of Azeri, calming the unhealthy public with diversified supplies and weakening the monopoly.
