Gazprom, Rosneft resume talks on Eastern Siberia and Far East


A remarkable event has occurred in relations between Gazprom and Rosneft. After a long pause, the gas giant`s CEO Alexei Miller met the state-owned oil major`s president Sergei Bogdanchikov.

To all appearances, the two companies are major contenders for oil and gas resources, including in the east of Russia. Most probably, yesterday`s meeting was devoted to the principles of peaceful coexistence in the energy-promising region.

Eighteen months ago, Gazprom and Rosneft were seen as allies and even set up a consortium with Surgutneftegaz to jointly develop the region`s resources. Although a framework agreement was signed, it never led to practical steps. After plans to merge the oil and gas companies on the basis of Gazprom were announced, Miller published the gas monopoly`s new eastern strategy, based on Rosneft`s Far Eastern assets - the share of Sakhalin 1 and exploration licenses in Sakhalin 3, 4 and 5. Miller said at the time that after the assets were consolidated, the concern would be ready to make the island of Sakhalin the center of gas production and exports in Russia`s East.

However, the takeover of Rosneft did not materialize. And the gas giant has found itself in an ambiguous situation. It has not got the Sakhalin assets, but already agreed with Shell to exchange a 50% stake in the Zapolyarnoye-Neocom project for a blocking stake in Sakhalin 2 (the talks are to be completed by the middle of next year). At the same time, it has already prepared a draft project to create a single gas supplies system in East Siberia and the Far East based on resources from the island`s shelf. This means that Gazprom has created an ideological basis for Rosneft`s export projects.

In these circumstances, Gazprom`s only chance is to win the auction for major blocks of Sakhalin 3 that have not yet been distributed. LUKoil has volunteered to help the gas giant in this complicated venture (yesterday there were reports about the talks between the two companies` heads). After all, if Rosneft gets these resources, it will mean the failure of Gazprom`s mission in the East.
