“Nord stream-2”: a real alternative for Europe

"Северный поток-2": реальная альтернатива для Европы

Europe has nowhere to go… According to General Director of OOO “Gazprom export” Elena Burmistrova, “Nord stream-2” promotes the development of gas industry of the European Union. Russian deposits the most cost-effective, and the route of delivery of gas from Russia to the EU countries reduces time, and reduces costs. It is profitable! Choose Europe for almost nothing…

Whatever may be asserted Russophobes and paid eurokinisi, Russian pipeline gas, the most optimal variant of energy supply in the EU from an economic and from an environmental point of view.

The gas flows are distributed within the European market according to demand and price signals. However, it is necessary to provide a certain level of liquidity and reliability of supply. First, the Russian gas will arrive at the receiving terminal in Germany. Then it will be distributed at gas hubs, depending on prices and demand.

Additional volumes of gas increase the liquidity of the market, strengthen competitiveness and develop the infrastructure and hubs within the European market.

New route “Nord stream-2” stimulates the development of gas infrastructure in Europe: the Interconnector linking the gas hubs. Also optimizes the loading of the gas transportation system of the EU, increasing gas flows between hubs. Isn’t striving for leadership of the European Union?

The Europeans already know that gas production in the EU and Norway in the near future will be reduced by approximately 100 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Consequently, we can expect shortage of gas imports, simultaneously trying to find a solution to this problem.

So why so many difficulties when I’m ready Russian project, through which hydrocarbons will continue to enter the European market? Anyway, to reduce dependence on Russian gas in the next couple of decades Europe will not be able. Natural gas consumption will only increase, as acknowledged by the experts.

Commercial Director Russia at Shell E&P Buckley noted that priority should be given to the construction of plants for gas production and not the same plant. In the gas sector needs to invest to increase future supply. The States in this matter, by the way, Russia is not a competitor with their shale gas on the world market.

 "Северный поток-2": реальная альтернатива для Европы

The European partners “Gazprom” under the project of the pipeline “Nord stream-2” – Engie, OMV, Shell, Uniper and Wintershall – have confirmed their intention to participate in the project. The most frantic due to the probable loss of profit of the Ukrainian “Naftogaz”, but this is the problem of Kiev.

Nearly 2 billion of transit revenues taken out of the hands of Ukraine. There is nothing to worry about. As for Europe, she will not suffer, as the prices of the contracts, “Gazprom” is determined by the price of oil.

If you don’t like the Russian project? The US and Kiev. The us wants to force Russia to use the Ukrainian gas pipe as the main means of delivery of gas to Europe, to continue to feed the Kiev regime, manipulating Europe, periodically declaring the interruption of gas supply.

Kiev needs money and the ability to constantly put pressure on the sore spot of the EU and Russia. The construction of a new pipeline breaks them all plans.
