15:49 Gazprom will buy foreign gas to the half-trillion rubles

Russia's gas monopoly Gazprom in 2009, someone else will buy gas at a record 501 billion rubles, Vedomosti newspaper wrote with reference to the data of the new company's budget for the current year, approved Sept. 30 the board of directors of Gazprom. Russia's gas monopoly Gazprom in 2009, someone else will buy gas at a record 501 billion rubles, Vedomosti newspaper wrote with reference to the data of the new company's budget for the current year, approved Sept. 30 the board of directors of Gazprom. At the same time in the Gazette noted that comparing data from 2009 to last year's performance is almost impossible: Gazprom previously stated the cost of gas, oil and oil products a single budget line. However, if you take the comparable costs from the budget last year, we get almost double the growth of expenditure, calculated in the publication. The increase in expenditure on foreign gas does not increase the volume of purchases. On the contrary, they are reduced almost by half compared with the previous plan and a half times compared to 2008 - to 44,3 billion cubic meters. Of this amount, 33.6 billion cubic meters will be purchased abroad (mostly in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan), and another 10.7 billion - in Russia. In the mid 2000's Gazprom to purchase gas from their neighbors, as well as its export obligations in excess oil production. In 2009, everything changed: the gas consumption has declined considerably, but Russia's monopoly was unable to stop buying because of obligations to vendors. The only exception was a contract with Turkmenistan: gas from the spring of this country is not available in Russia because of the accident at the pipeline. According to Vedomosti sources, in 2009, Gazprom buys fuel in Central Asia to $ 271 per thousand cubic meters. This is almost twice as much as a year earlier. RUR same growth turns out even more because of the devaluation of the currency. Gazprom itself suffers from such a contract losses. For comparison, the maximum price of Russia's gas to European customers in 2009 amounts to 285.8 dollars per thousand cubic meters. As Russian producers, they sell the fuel to Gazprom for only 31-32 dollars per thousand cubic meters. Gazprom has a monopoly on gas exports from Russia. In late September, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said that Russia has no intention of abandoning this monopoly.
