Maximize production revenues less production costss.t.
- bounds on daily production rates
- bounds on volume of gas produced in time-window of analysis (one year)
Decision Variables
- How much to produce in season and year (cubic meters/day)
Market Clearing
- Producers’ sales MUST EQUAL Transmitter’s purchases from Producer

Producer’s Problem: Formulation

Complementarity Formulation: KKT Conditions of the Producer‘s Problem
- 10 -
Maximize selling revenues less purchase costs from “its” domestic producer s.t.
- material balances, including international pipeline losses
Decision Variables
- How much to sell in season and year (cubic meters/day)
- How much to buy from producers and neighboring transmitters (cubic meters/day)
Market Clearing:
- Sales MUST EQUAL Purchases of (domestic) Marketers, Storage and LNG Liquefaction
Transmitter’s Problem: Description
- 11 -
Interfaces between producers and end-user markets (marketers)
Separate entity
Market mechanism vs. ‘dedicated trading companies for each producer’
Some real world counterparts (e.g., Gazexport)
Low/high calorific markets: not that interesting not included for the time being
New concept, seems to work, non-conventional
Here presented formulation: producer dedicated transmitters
Transmitter Characteristics

Incorporating market power in Transmitter’s Formulation
• Market power in Europe: producers
• Initial transmitter formulation: producers face only one buyer. Exerting market power only relative to this one buyer, no direct means to withhold gas from or bring it to specific markets. So what…?
• multiple transmitters, dedicated for one producer
• integrate transmitter into producer (more conventional)
one transmitter per producer = the exporting subsidiary of a producer
• The transmitter is exerting the market power vis-à-vis its customers, not the producer
• Decision Criteria:• Usefulness
• Num Variables ~ Solvability, Acceptance
• Usefulness: there are examples of this type of agent in reality (e.g., Gazexport)
• Solvability: turns out not to be increased but we stick with this representation

Transmitter’s Problem: Formulation
- 14 -
Maximize congestion revenues
s.t.
- capacity bounds on flow
Decision Variables
- How much capacity to sell to Transmitters (in each season and year)
Market Clearing
- Capacity sold to Transmitters MUST EQUAL Capacity purchased by Transmitters

Storage Reservoir Operator’s Problem: Description
Maximize net revenues from marketers less injection costs, distribution costs, and purchasing costs from transmitter and LNG Regasifications.t.
- volumetric bound on working gas- maximum extraction rate bound- maximum injection rate bound- annual injection-extraction balancing
Decision Variables
- How much gas to buy from Transmitters and LNG Regasifiers- How much gas to sell to Marketers
Market Clearing
- Storage Operators’ Sales MUST EQUAL Marketers’ Purchases from Storage

Maximize demand sector revenues less local delivered costs from transmitter, storage and LNG Regasification
s.t.
- Sales to Sectors MUST EQUAL Purchases from Transmitter, Storage, LNG Regasifier
Decision Variables
- How much to buy from transmitter, storage and LNG
- How much to sell to each sector

Marketers don‘t have a decision variable, but are determined by their demand function to the transmitters
Market clearing must be satisfied

Application
Covers Europe and all LNG world-wide, one player each type in each country (when applicable.)
51 countries (also outside of Europe)
28 producers
• 15 large, 5 LNG only, 13 ‘domestic only’
36 consuming countries
• 3 sectors/countries, 6 LNG only
LNG:
• 10 Liquefiers, 15 Regasifiers, 150 LNG routes
20 Storage Operators
74 pipelines
Programmed in GAMS using PATH
- 21 -
State of the Work and Future Plans
Currently: Running simulations for model with market power and for different scenarios
The rich data input allows to investigate issues like international LNG flows, substitution effects between Russian, North African pipeline gas and LNG
Later: extensions of the model
• Stochasticity into players’ problems, for example with stochastic demand realizations
• Alternative demand functions
• Scenario Reduction & Decomposition
• Other strategic behavior/market power for producers, marketers
• Dynamic model with decisions on investments in transport infrastructure
