Pakistan signs long-term oil purchase agreement with Russia
Significant progress has been reported in the purchase of cheap oil from Russia, as Pakistan has signed a long-term oil purchase agreement with Moscow.
Under the agreement signed on a commercial basis, local refineries will buy oil directly from Russia and the country will deliver the oil to Pakistan at the port.
Under the agreement, the price of the oil will be $60 per barrel, and the first cargo carrying 100,000 metric tonnes of crude oil will reach Pakistan in December.
According to sources in the Ministry of Petroleum, there will be an agreement at the government level after normal supply. The commercial agreement will take into account the G7 price ceiling for Russian oil.
The Russian crude is $10 per barrel cheaper than the general market even after removing the rent premium.
On the first test cargo also, Pakistan had saved $400 million.

Novatek will build pipeline to Murmansk for LNG and gasification - CEO
MOSCOW. Oct 11 (Interfax) - Novatek will build the gas pipeline to Murmansk, which will supply the Murmansk LNG plant as well as the regions through which the pipeline passes, the company's CEO Leonid Mikhelson told reporters on the sidelines of Russian Energy Week.
"Novatek's building it," he said.
Mikhelson said the decision was reached by the country's leadership based on the several discussions.
He said that during those discussions it had been decided to increase the future pipeline's capacity from 30 billion to 40 billion cubic meters to not only supply the plant but also the regions with gas.
"The pipeline's capacity for Murmansk LNG is 30 bcm. The government's decision was to review that decision. We reviewed it and it will be built for 40 bcm, which means it can meet all the needs for gas supply on north Karelia and in the Murmansk region," Mikhelson said.
Later, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a plenary session of Russian Energy Week, confirmed that up to 10 bcm of gas using the future pipeline will go to the needs of the population and enterprises in Karelia and the Murmansk region.
"The Murmansk region and Karelia will receive gas from the Volkhov - Murmansk - Belokamenka gas pipeline. The pipeline will be laid for a project for the production of liquefied gas on the Kola Peninsula, but part of its capacity, namely up to 10 bcm per year, will be used to supply enterprises and social facilities, and residential buildings in Karelia and the Murmansk region for the development of environmentally friendly power generation," Putin said.
Novatek presented the Murmansk LNG project this summer. Its advantages, according to the authors of the project, include an ice-free port and the availability of cheap electricity from the Kola Nuclear Power Plant. The company plans to use compressors with electric drives to produce liquefied natural gas.
The plant is expected to use Novatek's Arctic Mix technology, with which it is possible to build liquefaction trains with capacity of up to 7 million tonnes of LNG per year.

Gazprom brought production into the black
26.10.2023
The company increases production for the second month in a row
Gas production in the Russian Federation is growing relative to last year’s figures for the second month in a row. Thus, in September, production growth amounted to 2.5%, to 47.83 billion cubic meters, while according to the results of three quarters, production fell by 5.7%, to 474 billion cubic meters. Gazprom increased production in September by 4% year-on-year, to 29 billion cubic meters. Analysts explain the positive dynamics by increased production at Gazprom’s Kovyktinskoye field and within the Sakhalin-1 project. In addition, over the past two months, production dynamics have been increasingly influenced by the low base of last year.
In January-September 2023, gas production in the Russian Federation decreased by 5.7% compared to the same period last year, to 474.375 billion cubic meters (data given taking into account gas flared), sources familiar with Ministry of Energy statistics told Kommersant. . However, in September, production increased by 2.5% year-on-year, to 47.83 billion cubic meters (data are provided excluding gas flared). In January-August, gas production, according to Kommersant, decreased by 10.2%, to 409.6 billion cubic meters; in August, gas production in the Russian Federation increased by 2.7% year-on-year, to 47.4 billion cubic meters (excluding gas flared).
The production volume of “other subsoil users,” which almost exactly reflects Gazprom’s now undisclosed indicators, decreased by 13.75% year-on-year over the nine months, to 289.3 billion cubic meters.
In September, production by “other subsoil users” increased by 4%, to 29 billion cubic meters of gas, after in August it showed annual growth for the first time in the last 16 months (by 3.3% by August 2022).
Gazprom has been reducing production for a long time due to a decrease in exports to Europe: the Russian Federation, which was the largest gas supplier to Europe before the start of hostilities in Ukraine, is losing its share on the continent with growing demand for LNG in EU countries. Currently, supplies of Russian pipeline gas go to Europe in relatively small volumes in transit through Ukraine and through the Turkish Stream. Gazprom did not comment on production statistics.
In January-September, Gazprom Neft reduced gas production by 12.7% year-on-year, to 21.5 billion cubic meters; in September, the company produced 16.8% less than a year earlier, about 2 billion cubic meters.
The largest independent gas producer NOVATEK in January-September reduced production by 2% compared to last year, to 58.6 billion cubic meters. In September, the company's production remained approximately at the level of last year - 6.47 billion cubic meters.
In nine months, Rosneft increased production by 59%, to 57.9 billion cubic meters, by increasing the capacity of Rospan and the Kharampur field. But already in September, production dynamics slowed down - growth amounted to 3.7%, to 5.3 billion cubic meters, due to the leveling off of the base effect, since the increase in production at Rospan and Kharampur occurred in the fall of last year. This year Rospan should reach a production plateau of 21 billion cubic meters per year.
LUKOIL and Surgutneftegaz reduced production in September, likely due to restrictions on oil production (and, accordingly, associated gas) under the OPEC+ agreement.
Among the oil companies, Slavneft has the largest growth - 2.2 times year on year - due to the multiple increase in production by Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz, however, due to small production volumes, this does not have a significant impact on the all-Russian dynamics.
Sergei Kondratyev from the Institute of Energy and Finance believes that gas production in September increased mainly due to increased production by Gazprom (probably due to increased production at the Kovyktinskoye field for supplies to China via the Power of Siberia) and due to the restoration of oil production and associated gas at the Sakhalin-1 project of Rosneft.
At the same time, the dynamics of production in August-September is influenced by the effect of the low base of last year - in August-September 2022, Nord Stream 1 was no longer working, and on September 26, sabotage was committed on the gas pipeline, Mr. Kondratiev recalls. “As a result, gas exports in September 2022 were low, and the results of September 2023, taking into account the increase in supplies through the Power of Siberia, turned out to be better than last year,” he believes. Weak domestic demand due to warm weather in the European part of the Russian Federation did not have a significant impact on September production. According to the System Operator (energy system dispatcher), in September 2023 the average temperature was 13.6°C (+2.9°C compared to last year), which led to a reduction in supplies to the domestic market: for example, gas consumption in Moscow in September it fell by 12% year-on-year, in St. Petersburg by 26%. Perhaps Gazprom has increased injection into underground gas storage facilities, the analyst believes. The head of the company, Alexey Miller, indirectly confirmed this on October 25, announcing a record gas reserve in storage facilities - 72.84 billion cubic meters.

Russia’s Oil and Gas Revenue Hit 18-Month High in October
November 3, 2023
* Budget proceeds from the fuels jumped 28% on annual basis
* Urals crude has soared above price cap set by G-7 countries
Russia’s oil and gas revenue soared in October to the highest since April 2022 due to high oil prices and a pause in government subsidies to refiners.
Budget proceeds from taxes on oil and gas rose by almost 28% last month from a year ago, to 1.63 trillion rubles ($17.6 billion), the Finance Ministry said Friday. Levies on crude and petroleum products — which accounted for almost 91% of total hydrocarbon revenues last month — more than doubled.
Russia’s oil and gas industries provide a key source of revenue for the nation’s coffers amid rising military spending to finance the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine and payments to public-sector workers ahead of presidential elections planned for March.
...
...
The nation’s main oil export blend, Urals, exceeded the G-7 price cap for a fourth consecutive month in October, trading at $81.52 a barrel with a discount to Brent at $9.57, according to the Finance Ministry.
Russia last month didn’t pay subsidies to domestic refiners for fuel supplies in September, a move that also contributed to the spike in budget proceeds. Such payouts, which usually dent oil revenues, partially compensate refiners for the gap between the base domestic price of car-fuel and prices abroad.
In September fuel prices at the domestic exchange exceeded the threshold set in the payout formula, allowing the government to keep funds in the budget. To compare, subsidies for August supplies of diesel and gasoline reached 298.7 billion rubles.
The government planned to halve refiner subsidies in an effort to rein in spending. However, after criticism from President Vladimir Putin, it plans to restore them in full and is weighing different options for their financing.

China and Russia step up work on new gas route – CNPC
6 Nov, 2023
The Far Eastern project is estimated to have an annual capacity of 10 billion cubic meters
Russian energy company Gazprom is cooperating with China to accelerate the launch of gas supplies via the Far Eastern route, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) Vice President Xie Jun has revealed.
The Far Eastern route envisages supplies of Russian natural gas to China from the shelf off Sakhalin Island.
While addressing the plenary session at the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum, Xie Jun reportedly said: “Our company and Gazprom are striving to build a closer energy partnership and are systematically accelerating the implementation of the gas supply project along the Far Eastern route.”
In February, Moscow and Beijing sealed an agreement for additional natural gas supplies to China via the Far Eastern route. The project involves the construction of a cross-border section across the Ussuri River between the already operational Russian pipeline and the Chinese city of Hulin. After reaching full capacity, the route will allow for the delivery of 10 billion cubic meters of Russian pipeline gas to China annually.
Russia currently supplies gas to China via the Power of Siberia pipeline, a section of the so-called Eastern Route, under a bilateral 30-year agreement. Deliveries started in 2019, and the pipeline is expected to reach its full operational capacity of 38 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually by 2025.
Gazprom has also been assessing the possibility of supplying gas to China via the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline through Mongolia. The conduit is expected to allow for the delivery of up to 50 billion cubic meters of gas annually, and its construction is scheduled to start in 2024. Once all the pipelines are fully operational, the volume of Russian gas supplies to China could reach nearly 100 billion cubic meters annually.

Of course as the EU likely turns back to coal as gas becomes no longer affordable they will likely claim coal can be made cleaner but gas is morally bad because it supports Russia.

Russia overtakes the USA and consolidates itself as the main diesel supplier to Brazil. According to analysts, the obstacles imposed by economic sanctions have already been overcome and Russia should remain in the Brazilian market in the medium and long term.
In November, diesel shipments from Russia to Brazil reached record levels, data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) revealed. The shipments are expected to arrive at Brazilian ports in December and ensure that the year 2023 will be one of the most successful for trade between Brazil and Russia in the history of bilateral relations.
According to SECEX data, the trade flow between Brazil and Russia between January and October 2023 has already grown by 5% compared to the same period in 2022, a record year in trade between the countries.
If in 2022 the flagship of trade between Brazil and Russia was fertilizers, in 2023 the product that is ensuring the maintenance of Russia's performance in the Brazilian market is ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).
Traditionally, Brazil imports about 25% of the diesel it consumes, mainly from countries such as the US. As of August 2023, however, Russia accounted for 70% of Brazilian diesel imports, becoming the country's main supplier.
From January to August 2023, Brazil imported 3.15 million tons of Russian diesel, compared to 2.20 million tons of the fuel from the US. In value, the drop in US diesel sales in the Brazilian market between 2022 and 2023 reaches 65%.
According to the director of the Institute of energy and environment of the University of São Paulo (USP), Ildo Sauer, the arrival of diesel from Russia to Brazil is the consequence of a rearrangement in the world oil and natural gas market, motivated by the failure of economic sanctions imposed against Russia in 2022.
"Russia has sought new markets for its exports as a consequence of sanctions led by the US and with subaltern adherence from Europe and the naive attempt to put a ceiling price on Russian oil exports," Sauer told Sputnik Brasil. "What happened was a rearrangement of the world market, in the origin–destination framework."
As a consequence, "Europe suffers from rising oil prices and a process of deindustrialization", while "Brazil benefits from importing Russian diesel at attractive prices".
According to the president of the Brazil–Russia Chamber of Commerce, Gilberto Ramos, the main obstacles to the import of Russian diesel by Brazil – the establishment of means of payments and logistics solutions – have already been overcome.
"Bridges have already been built, both in the area of payments and logistics," Ramos told Sputnik Brasil. "There are Brazilian financial agents operating in the Russian market to guarantee the payment of diesel and other assets. Logistics channels are also established, including for containerized cargo."
The success of diesel, therefore, could pave the way for other products to be included in the commercial agenda. For Ramos, the Brazilian business community shows interest in deepening relations with Russia and understands the limitations of US sanctions.
"I see a lot of willingness from the Brazilian business community to do business with Russia, but let's agree that the issue here is prices, competitiveness and the quality of the Russian product," Ramos said. "In the case of diesel, the product is good, the price is good and the supply is stable, so there is no reason why this trade should not
continue."

Canada has no oil, it has oil sand.
Number for SA is the same as in the 80´s. Despite no new discoveries and decades of massive oil pumping.
Russia has more oil offshore than those numbers.

barrels of oil per day for decades requires substantial reserves in the form of large oil fields. Of course, what untapped potential
is there is another story. But the tapped reserves have to have comparable size to those in Saudi Arabia which is the only other
country with a 10 million barrel per day extraction rate. Russia does not have a singular field like Ghawar, but it does have very large
fields.
The reserve numbers for Saudi Arabia is secret as well. The official numbers are total nonsense since they have not reduced in the
last 40 years. I believe that depletion rates are about 4%. So, 1.04^40 = 4.8 which is huge. To maintain production new fields
have to be developed and existing ones reworked. Russia has been reworking its large oil fields with more efficient extraction
techniques. But like Saudi Arabia, it has not been putting new large fields into production. The USA is in the same boat and the
surge in production over the last 20 years is from putting on-line previously discovered (in the 1950s) non-conventional fields like
the Bakken. These are not very large reservoirs and are already winding down. They were not exploited before because they
are more expensive to drill.
Russia has the Bazhenov formation which it has not tapped. This is an enormous non-conventional oil-bearing formation. It is hard
to extract, but not impossible. For example, it is not like shale kerogen deposits which are not oil and need to be converted into oil.
They do not flow so cannot be drilled. The can be mined, which makes them super-expensive compared to conventional oil. Attempts
to produce oil from kerogens in situ and pumping them out have failed.
Kanada's tar sands are not oil. The term "oil sands" is retarded marketing BS. They need to be upgraded to oil in hydrogenation facilities.
It is an enormous mining operation. But it is easier than shale kerogens since it is possible to make the tar flow by injecting high pressure
steam into sands (SAGD). But otherwise you see 40 meter haulers taking the tar laden sands from open pit mines.

They are currently working on getting the Vostok oil project up. This is another massive project.
I wouldn't be surprised if Russia had lower extraction costs than Saudi Arabia in some fields. Ever since the Saudis had to use water injection to get the oil out their extraction costs aren't what they used to be.
Remember what happened when Saudi Arabia tried to crash the oil price several years ago. Unlike what happened in the 1980s with the Soviet Union, they found out they had to throw in the towel before Russia did.
The huge oil reserves in Venezuela and Canada in that chart are highly misleading since that is basically heavy oil. It needs very expensive processing.

There is no need for that, honestly.
Gazprom claimed a while ago, that they have managed to catalog about 10% (TEN) of the shelf reserves.
There is no way it does not apply to the oil reserves, too.
While the reserves of the other countries are rather seriously mapped already because the area is much smaller.
Even if there is some existing potential, the one Russkie have can be multiply by dozens easily.

Urals is at $57 USD a barrel.
Russia needs to solve this. The differential is just too high. Companies like Rosneft need to increase the size of their fleet, they need to also increase the size of Sovcomflot, and stop using the foreign shippers.
I am sure they will be getting their money one way or the other, but this will lead to corruption and money will get diverted, so they need to solve this properly.

Ukraine's refusal to transit Russian gas will hit EU hard
The Kiev regime's refusal to transit Russian gas to Europe will cause serious problems for EU member states, the German newspaper Focus reports.
Almost two months ago, Ukraine announced that it would stop the transit of Russian gas to Europe after the contract to supply the blue fuel to the EU expires next year.
In this connection, the authors of the material notes that this energy resource could become expensive for German consumers as well, since all participants in the European gas market are very closely interconnected.

Sorry... just noticed this comment.
There is no problem for Russia to give Europe short term contracts... even if they know they could be sanctioned at any time on a whim.
The problem is for Russia signing such contracts. They have shifted their delivery capacity to the east and also via shipping to the south which means if Europe wants short term controls to fill shortfalls in gas, considering their rapacious desire for large quantities of cheap gas, the problem is going to be that Russia is shipping and piping their capacity in gas to other nations, and the EUs problem is that Russia is not Germany or the US... Germany took over some Russian company work and part of that was sending gas supplies to India but it seems while the ship was enroute to India the prices of gas went up in Europe and I guess they did a few calculations and worked out that violating the supply agreement with India was going to cost less than the profit they would make by delivering the gas they had on board for India to Europe. US ships make this same calculation all the time and often sit offshore in the EU waiting for prices to increase before they will dock and offload their cargo.
Russia is a supplier and has plenty of gas supply so a relatively low price for gas is in their interests because cheap energy is widely used... they don't assemble the gas, they just get it out of the ground... their costs are low so even cheap gas is good profit for them.
It seems Germany and the US are greedy bastards and don't care what their customers think of them and will just sell to the highest price even if they have to pay a few fines for not filling contracts signed.
The EUs problem with short term contracts is that when they really need some gas, Russia might not have the spare capacity to supply and unlike many other suppliers will not send gas paid for by someone else because you are prepared to pay more... but more often than not you always want to pay less which is why you are where you are now... imagine a few 15 or 20 year contracts at $180 per thousand cm would be looking rather good right now...

U-rope is still buying Russian LNG, but the unelected US stooges who "run" the EU are yapping about sanctioning Russia's LNG exports
as well. I think this f*ckers need to feel the full weight of consequences for their hate spasms. Russia should stop giving these freaks
any breaks. It will not bring Russia any peace and prosperity on any time scale. In fact, being merciless is the best language to use
with the freaks.

The United Engine Corporation (UEC), part of Rostec, has launched testing of a prototype of the new AL-41ST gas turbine engine. The UEC press service reported this on December 27.
“The UEC company has started bench testing of the first prototype of the AL-41ST gas turbine engine with a power of 25 MW. The new unit is distinguished by increased reliability and durability; it is capable of operating continuously for at least 120 thousand hours, which is a new achievement in the Russian engineering industry,” the statement says.
The corporation clarified that the power plant was developed by specialists from the Ufa enterprise ODK-UMPO within the framework of cooperation between Rostec and Gazprom, as well as with the support of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
“This is an innovative product with increased efficiency, reliability, and environmental friendliness, which our partners at Gazprom are really looking forward to.” It was created in record time - in just two years, despite the manifold increase in workload of our enterprises. Each such development is another step towards 100% import substitution in the country’s fuel and energy complex,” said Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov.
According to engineers, the efficiency of the created engine reaches 39.1% with the possibility of increasing to 40%, while for existing analogues this figure does not exceed 38.5%. In addition, the characteristics of the unit make it possible to create higher pressure in the gas transportation system, which makes it possible to use it on long routes and in modern gas pipelines with increased operating pressure.
The head of the UEC, a member of the bureau of the Central Council of SoyuzMash Russia LLC, Vadim Badekha, said that the corporation is actively developing the direction of industrial engines, among which the AL-41ST-25 project has priority status.
“The first experimental fifth-generation industrial engine in Russia is a high-tech product that, in a number of key characteristics, is not inferior to the world’s best models in this power class. In the future, based on the gas generator of the new power plant, it is planned to create a whole family of highly efficient gas turbine drives for gas pumping units with a capacity of up to 42 MW,” he said.
Gazprom also pointed out the main advantages of the engine - quick installation and commissioning. In addition, it is distinguished by low emissions of harmful substances, which meets the requirements of Russian and international environmental standards.
“The first AL-41ST-25 engine will be subjected to pilot operation at the Arskaya compressor station of Gazprom Transgaz Kazan LLC. The power plant is scheduled to operate for 5 thousand hours to demonstrate its reliability and efficiency,” said Gazprom head Alexey Miller.
