nsdp + 449 eh April 11, 2022 With the destruction Ukraine has suffered in the last 7 weeks, I doubt that Ukraine will ever buy another GJ of NG from Russia again. 40% from other sources will be sufficient while they rebuild. That gives Cypress and Lebanon sufficient time to build an under sea pipeline around Turkey to Greece and access through Bulgaria and Romania. Putin has just cut off another source of income. Plus losing customers down stream on his pipeline through Ukraine. Real Genius 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomasz + 1,608 April 11, 2022 Perhaps I will tell you a little shocking secret that the Ukrainian army probably would have run out of fuel at least a month ago - oil is of course still supplied to Ukraine by the Russian Federation. And for last 8 years I dont know whether now but for that 8 years diesel fuel was mainly supplied from the Belarusian refinery in Mozyr. Lukashenko himself once told Poroshenko's clearly to behave because he cuts off diesel supplies to Ukraine and after a week the entire Ukrainian economy is standing still. For last 8 years Ukraine was importing electricity from Belarus and Russia and coal from Russia and Donbas Once in 2016 year Russia became even the main importer of Ukraine military equipment You might thought Im lying but this is bussiness between oligarchs both in Ukraine and Russia So one day we can fight hard with each other but next day lets do some bussiness. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nsdp + 449 eh April 11, 2022 What makes you think that the market will be there. Putin has destroyed it and Ukraine won't need the gas for electricity peaking the next three years and they have switched to the EU grid and will be selling excess power there while reconstruction goes on. Ukrainian gas market is gone forever as far as Russia is concerned.

Tomasz + 1,608 April 11, 2022 Let me explain. There is pipeline from Russia through Ukraine next to Czech and Hungary. NG is flowing through Ukraine to Western Europe. Ukraine takes NG and transit feets. Oil is sent to Czech and Hungary through Ukraine. Russian oil from this pipeline is only reason why ukrainian army at least for month is not out of fuel It looks for me rather strange that you fight biggest war in Europe after 1945 and you still give oil to your enemy. Dont you think so? If Ukraine wanted to put embargo on russian oil and gas to European Union it looks very easy. All you need to do is to stop transiting it through Ukraine. But of course Im russian troll and putin supporter. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomasz + 1,608 April 11, 2022 (edited) If Ukraine want an instant embargo on russian gas and oil they can stop transit about 800.000 barrels per day and 110 mln m3 of NG at their own request by refusing to transit it at this very moment. There is only a small problem- Germany at this very moment finding his own petrochemical industry and big german industry in a state of instant death do the only one sensible SOS move for Western Europe- at this very moment NG unofficialy starts flowing through NS II because thats state of emergency. And thats end of ukrainian story as transit country so Ukraine looses much of its geopolitical weight. So Russia now is free to finish its job to demilitarize Ukraine. By this I mean destroying ukrainian army and destroying far-right volunteers batalions (destroying Azov Aidar Right Sector and Banderites which is really much more important than Ukrainian army as non-ideological troops) If Putin by denazification means destroying banderites I think he we will be welcomed by sensible people even in my home country Poland. I dont mean all of Ukrainians but definately there is too much far-right banderites there. As you know people in Poland dont really like them after Volyn Massacre in 1943/1944.

You must be some kind of field marshall of logistics Its made through Belarus dependent fully on Russia? Through Black See blocked by russian navy? Or how its really made? By trucks through Sweden Denmark Germany and Poland? Because I dont really see any pipeline to send it from Norway to Ukraine?

The goals of the conflict are “absolutely clear and noble,” Putin also said, state media reported. “There is no doubt that the goals will be achieved.” “The main goal is to help the people of Donbass [region in eastern Ukraine], whose independence we recognized. We were forced to do so because the Kyiv authorities, pressed by the West, refused to comply with the Minsk agreements aimed at a peaceful solution of the Donbass-related problems,” Putin continued. https://www.zerohedge.com/military/putin-breaks-silence-says-russia-will-triumph-ukraine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their problem then is that 90% of Russian product is produced in Western Siberia and shipped to Europe. The only quick alternative is the arctic ocean route which is long, difficult and expensive. Yes they can build pipelines to the east but that will take years, as I said. And China will pay them almost nothing for the oil, by the time the pipelines are complete they will be at 90% new EV market share.

They are reliant on Western know how, those are the fields that the Western oil companies abandoned. It is doubtful that they can increase production to fill out the current or newly agreed upon pipeline. Regardless, this gas is minuscule compared to what is shipped to Europe. Power of Siberia 2 is still just a proposal. It has been in the works for a decade and not agreed upon. It's hard to fast track a project that has been in discussion for years. China knows Russia is desperate, they will drive a hard bargain and then it will still take many years to build. https://fortune.com/2022/04/06/china-buys-russia-energy-exports-oil-gas-coal-ukraine-sanctions-thane-gustafson/ https://www.iea.org/articles/energy-fact-sheet-why-does-russian-oil-and-gas-matter Edited April 14, 2022 by Jay McKinsey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you suggesting Gazprom cant operate or increase production out of Sakhalin or the Chayanda field because they dont have the expertise? This just isnt correct. Chayanda has the ability on its own to supply 38bcm to China if they wish, no need for Western companies expertise whatsover. "The full capacity of the 1,420 mm (56 in) pipeline would be up to 61 billion m3 (2.2 trillion cu ft) per annum of natural gas,[5][19] of which 38 billion m3 (1.3 trillion cu ft) per annum are supplied to China.[20][21] The export to China starts with 5 billion m3 (180 billion cu ft) per annum in 2020, and is expected to increase gradually to 38 billion m3 (1.3 trillion cu ft) per annum by 2025.[22] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
