>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
>Without Kazakhstan, no "Russian" gas for Europe.
Do you have some links to back it up?
- sushibowl 5y agoIt 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...
- baybal2 5y agoIt 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
- kgeist 5y agoI'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.
