Russian oil production is peaking
Size and quality of new discoveries deteriorates
Ongoing projects enter depletion phases
Tight reserves are a challenge for existing technologies
Tax incentives are inadequate; PSAs are banned
Industry is dominated by inefficient state-controlled majors
Foreign operators are discriminated
Western sanctions are in effect
Low oil prices make a lasting effect

What oil companies are doing to save funds and stay in the black?
• Attacking the government with complaints
• Cutting investment programs and current expenses
• Cutting credit exposure
• Dropping greenfield plans
• Focusing on brownfield projects with capex long gone:• Enhancing recovery from developed plays
• Changing ‘optimal’ development plans in favor of quick gains
• Provoking faster depletion

Russian natural gas: a political weapon?

Three powerful factors are making Gazprom change its business strategy:
1. Gas production glut vis-à-vis shrinking markets
2. The Europeans’ determination to enforce antitrust environment and resist Gazprom’s ‘offensive’
3. Low energy prices

Gazprom’s producing potential totaled 617 bcm, but the company sold only 444 bcm in 2014:
• 126.2 bcm beyond ex-USSR
• 48.0 bcm in former USSR
• 217.2 bcm domestically
• 52.6 bcm of resold non-Russian gas
The volume of ‘unwanted’ Russian gas:
officially 173 bcm, but actually
over 225 bcm
Gazprom is pulling the brakes on new upstream projects and desperately seeking new markets

Gazprom may be facing a price war soon
The company’s ‘worst case stress’ scenario was for
$169 per 1,000 cu m
Now it expects the price in Europe to average
$166 in 2017-2018
How long can Gazprom go on at lower prices?
• Excessive production potential
• Developed infrastructure
• Government assistance
No real plans to dismantle Gazprom are on the agenda
