Ministry of Energy has planned the admission of "Rosneft" to "Force Siberia" from 2020 – RBC

Please “Rosneft»

According to the document «Rosneft” and other independent gas producers can bring to «Power of Siberia” from 2020, when it will be built two gas pipeline – from the field to the Chayandinskoye Belogorska (2170 km) and from Chayandinskoye to Kovykta (790 km).

In May 2014, after the “Gazprom” has signed a contract with China’s CNPC, the head of “Rosneft” Igor Sechin said that the company expects to have access to the “Power of Siberia”, if it is decide to expand capacity. “We provided the Ministry of Energy forecast gas production from fields in Eastern Siberia and the Far East included in the perimeter of” Rosneft “. So if they will be included in the facilities of “Forces of Siberia”, then thank God, “- he said

The representative of” Rosneft “said RBC that the company has not commented on the plan the Ministry of Energy. The representative of “Gazprom” declined to comment.

The curator of fuel and energy sector in the government – Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich could not comment on the plan to allow the Ministry of Energy “Rosneft” to facilities “Forces of Siberia” because of this variant learned today from the media told Tass. “I’ve just read the posts on this topic. I can not comment on now, “- said Dvorkovich.

Associated gas

Department of Energy clarified Friday that independent producers will be able to supply” Power Siberia “gas produced from processing of associated petroleum gas (APG), the reception of which the transportation according to Article 27 of the Law” On Gas Supply in the Russian Federation “is considered a priority when the resources are available.

Consulting Partner with RusEnergy Michael Krutikhin said RBC is now associated gas in the oil fields near future gas pipeline, in addition to « Rosneft », extract “C urgutneftegaz »and« Gazprom Neft » . Representatives of the oil companies did not immediately respond to a request RBC.

The representative of the Ministry of Energy did not comment on the conditions under which gas producers will supply it to export gas pipeline. Krutikhin says that there are two ways to allow them to “Force Siberia”: or “Gazprom” will have to take independent gas on commission, or need to change the law on gas exports, that is, the question arises on the abolition of the export monopoly.

In the evening, the representative of the Ministry of Energy told RBC that associated gas is used only for the domestic market. “Exports are not talking” – he added.

Dressing for China

Krutikhin believes that the decision to let third-party gas in the “Power of Siberia” due to the fact that the first “Gazprom” may not be enough gas. Chayandinskoye field at maximum development can give some 25 billion cubic meters. m per year, and maybe less, he says. In this case, by 2018 there will be no such volumes, the expert added.

«In the first year, when” The Power of Siberia “will come to the Chinese border, is only 4.5 billion cubic meters. m. More gas there, and to bring to the bar 30 billion cubic meters. m will take another 10 years “, – says Krutikhin. According to him, to give the required amount can Kovykta – somewhere 33 billion cubic meters. m, while other companies will not need a monopoly.

30-year agreement between “Gazprom” and CNPC on gas supplies c Chayandinskoye and Kovykta fields in China suggests that in the year to “Force Siberia” will be exported to 38 billion cubic meters. meters of gas. The total contract amount was $ 400 billion, for the period of validity for “ET” route to Chinese consumers plan to deliver more than 1 trillion cubic meters. meters of gas. Tube construction began on September 1, the beginning of its exports is expected in 2018-2020.

According to the plan, the Ministry of Energy, to build a gas pipeline will be in three stages. On the ground – from 2018 to 2020 – the gas transmission system (GTS) “The Power of Siberia” launched on the basis of Chayandinskoye field to Belogorska with a branch to China. The power of the first line will be 32 billion cubic meters. meters of gas, the second – up to 60 billion cubic meters. m, the power outlet – 38 billion cubic meters. m.

Kovykta field of “Rosneft” and independent gas producers connect to the GTS in the second phase (2020 to 2025) to increase the volume of gas supplies. Power line, which will connect the Kovykta and Chayandinskoe field – 30 billion cubic meters. m, length – 790 km. “I think that a small amount of gas independent producers will be able to put somewhere by 2022,” – said Krutikhin.

The issue price

For a third-party key will – at what price to supply gas to “Force Siberia.” “Gazprom” expected to be get independent gas at low prices, but they do not agree to this, and insist on other options until the changes in the legislation, says Krutikhin.

According to him, in any case, the price formula in China, agreed with “Gazprom”, tied to oil prices, which fall in the Asian region. “Now the gas is much less than $ 300 per thousand cubic meters. m “, – the expert adds. At these prices, independent company will sell gas to “Power of Siberia” because of the area they have no other markets.

«Apparently” Rosneft “which has not so much gas in the area , expects that there will be new gas pipelines, which it will be able to connect from their other fields “, – said Krutikhin. Previously, Sechin said that “Rosneft” is ready to build their main gas pipelines in Eastern Siberia. He noted that in the region, the company has a chain of fields Suzun-Tagul, boat and Taas Yuryakhskoye that have gas resources. “We hope that we will be able to transport and monetization of gas from these fields. A decent enough volumes – about 16 billion cubic meters. m per year, up to 20 billion cubic meters. m “, – he said.

On the question of how much gas” Rosneft “is ready to put in the gas export pipeline” Gazprom “, Sechin said at the time:” No matter what kind of a pipe, the domestic market is also a bonus. ” TASS referring to its sources reported that the oil company can supply on “Force Siberia” to 18 billion cubic meters. meters of gas a year.

to finish by 2030

The last section, “The forces of Siberia” plans to build by 2030. It is assumed that the gas, which is now delivered with deposits of the Sakhalin shelf in the Primorsky and Khabarovsk Krai, instead of resources with the “forces of Siberia.” Power line, which will connect Belogorsk and Khabarovsk, will be 32 billion cubic meters. m, length – 620 km.
