FYI: most of gas Russia sells to Europe is actually not Russian, but coming from Central Asian vassal regimes at less than a penny per cube, and then resold at incredible markups to Europe. I am talking exactly about Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan. This is why Russia is not really fearing for oil price. Their gas is incredibly profitable, and stable, unlike Siberian oil where freezing, rusting USSR era oil rigs require a lot of upkeep. Without Kazakhstan, no "Russian" gas for Europe. -------- P.S. I got blocked again, so posting news here through edit T7-VIP1 is a personal aircraft of Nazarbayev family. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/t7-vip1 https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/t7-vip1 The news are there that he fled the country to Switzerland, got a boot from there, and was forced to flee to Uzbekistan.

  It doesn't add up for me. Central Asian sources are less than 1.5% of GazProm total production, and Gas production of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan is dwarfed by Russian fields. Further, output from Russian fields in Siberia is on the decline and new fields are being developed in the Yamal Peninsula to replace these, so no Soviet era oil rigs at all. https://www.oxfordenergy.org/wpcms/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Russian-gas-amid-market-tightness.pdf https://www.oxfordenergy.org/wpcms/wp-content/uploads/2021/0...

    It does not add up to me, and any Russian who knows where Russian government gets its money. In 2009, I heard accounts of up to half of gas coming to Europe being Central Asian

      I'm from Russia and it's the first time I hear that almost all Russian gas actually comes from Kazakhstan, considering that my hometown literally sits on a pipe which connects Western Siberia to Europe. Sounds like some conspiracy theory to me, honestly. But I'm ready to change my mind if you provide some links.

Russia is the second largest producer anyhow. https://www.worldometers.info/gas/gas-production-by-country/ https://www.worldometers.info/gas/gas-production-by-country/ Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan (lowerest of them all, placed 24) combined produce less than 1/3 of the amount Russia produces. Also wiki (not the best source maybe, but whatever): >Gas for northern Europe largely came from the Nadym Pur Taz (NPT) region in Western Siberia, but these large fields are now in decline due to depletion. >Since the early 2010s Gazprom has been developing replacement gas fields in the Yamal Peninsula area of the Russian Arctic. As of 2020, Yamal produces over 20% of Russia's gas, which is expected to increase to 40% by 2030. >The shortest pipeline routes from Yamal to the northern EU countries are the Yamal–Europe pipeline through Poland and Nord Stream to Germany. During the winter peak Gazprom does not have the capacity to redirect flows to the central pipeline corridor through Ukraine, built for the NPT gas flow. Gazprom intends to decommission some pipelines, over forty years old with high maintenance costs, in the central corridor as NPT production declines

Turkmenistan has almost endless gas and would LOVE to sell to Europe at anything even remotely close to the open market rate. But Russia dictates the cost of the gas they buy from TM and since they have no way to bulk export their gas except to Russia, they're pretty much stuck.

>P.S. I got blocked again, so posting news here through edit You're getting blocked because half of your posts are literally poor trolling attempts with baseless takes against Russia\ex-USSR. I'm not sure why are you so triggered but at least try to proof check your fantasies to make them more believable.
