DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7dvmxr/the_fuel_and) has announced the addition of the "The Fuel and Energy Complex of Russia - Series of Analytical Reports - 2013" report to their offering.
The series consists of 8 (eight) reports to be published in February through December 2013.
1. Russia in struggle for European gas market
(March 2013)
The European gas market remains a key one from the point of view of Russian interests.
However, most experts predict soon downfall for Russia: previous forecasts of sharp rise in imports are moved to the recycle bin, and there are speculations about shale gas production in Europe, its deliveries from the USA, replacing natural gas with fuel and launch of new gas supplies from the Caspian Sea region.
2. Development of offshore projects: words or deeds?
(April 2013)
Development of the world oil and gas production sector has long and steadily been focused on offshore projects.
Russia seems to realize this tendency, and the future of its oil and gas sector is linked to development of offshore deposits. Quite many statements about rapid shelf development, including the Arctic shelf, are made. The state promises solid assistance - both in terms of infrastructure and taxation. There are speculations about possible liberalization of access to the shelf for private and foreign companies.
3. Eastern energy policy of Russia
(June 2013)
Over the past few years Russia has become keen on considering Asian consumers of hydrocarbons. And it is logical. Firstly, our difficulties in relations with the EU are too obvious. Secondly, Asia is the main driver of growth in the world demand for energy resources.
4. Search for new taxation regime in Russian oil and gas industry
(July 2013)
Fiscal novelties are becoming more noticeable in the oil and gas sectors. However, vectors of changes are often opposite. In the oil industry the state seems to intend to loosen its grip: preferences are allocated to deposits with hard-to-extract oil, to fields of eastern and offshore projects. However, the question is whether the philosophy of taxation will ever change. Oil producers need not local concessions but altering the principle of taxing revenues, not profit.
5. Central Asia and Caspian region: oil and gas geopolitical square
(September 2013)
The Caspian Sea region and Central Asia remain in heightened focus of the EU, Russia, China and the USA. This geopolitical square becomes more and more tangled. On one side, we observe development of production and pipeline projects. On the other side, political risks are rising. This is why it is very important to figure out the region's real production potential and the pace of implementation of transportation projects, as well as the economy of supplies and political developments.
6. Oil refining: huge plans
(October 2013)
Russian oil companies posted grandiose plans on developing their oil processing capacities. This produces strong impression save one but - the need for investments in the Russian downstream segment has been spoken about for more than ten years. The question is whether usual declarations will have some follow up.
7. Gazprom during Putin's latest tenure
(November 2013)
The past few years have been rather difficult for Gazprom. Competition on foreign markets is growing as well as pressure by domestic competitors that have significant political support.
8. State regulation of oil and gas sector in 2013, prospects for 2014
(December 2013)
NESF traditionally concludes its oil and gas series by this traditional report that sums up main events and tendencies of the year. The report contains analyses of production results of the year, main novelties in the sphere of state regulation of the sector, struggle for assets as well as a traditional forecast of the sector's development in the medium-term perspective.
