ПРОДОЛЖЕНИЕ ЭКСПОРТА РОССИЙСКОГО ГАЗА
ГАЗПРОМ - 15 апреля 2022 - С 1 января по 15 апреля 2022 года «Газпром», по предварительным данным, добыл 155,9 млрд куб. м газа. Это на 1,3% (на 2,1 млрд куб. м) меньше, чем в прошлом году.
Поставки компании из газотранспортной системы на внутренний рынок снизились на 3,6% (на 3,9 млрд куб. м) — в частности, в связи с теплой погодой в феврале. Поставки в марте и первой половине апреля были на уровне аналогичного периода прошлого года.
Экспорт в страны дальнего зарубежья составил 44,6 млрд куб. м — на 26,4% (на 16 млрд куб. м) меньше, чем за тот же период 2021 года. «Газпром» продолжает поставлять газ согласно заявкам потребителей в полном соответствии с контрактными обязательствами.
Растет экспорт газа в Китай по газопроводу «Сила Сибири» в рамках двустороннего долгосрочного контракта между «Газпромом» и CNPC.
По данным Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), 19 марта завершился сезон отбора газа из европейских подземных хранилищ. К этому моменту в них осталось всего 25,2 млрд куб. м активного газа. Это один из самых низких уровней за многолетний период наблюдений и на 5,5 млрд куб. м меньше по сравнению с той же датой 2021 года.
За прошедший зимний сезон из ПХГ Европы поднят 51 млрд куб. м газа — 107,8% от объема, который компании смогли закачать летом 2021 года.
Напомним, что в зимний сезон 2020/2021 года из хранилищ было отобрано 67,3 млрд куб. м газа, а восполнено летом 2021 года — всего 47,3 млрд куб. м.
Таким образом, чтобы восполнить запасы в европейских ПХГ до уровня, который был обеспечен к зимнему сезону 2020/2021 года, потребуется закачать 71 млрд куб. м газа. А до уровня, созданного к зиме 2019/2020 года, — 72,4 млрд куб. м.
Даже чтобы выйти на уровень 90% заполненности хранилищ, который декларируют как целевой в Европейском союзе, закачать надо 63 млрд куб. м газа. Однако и это — очень амбициозно. В последние годы такой объем не закачивали за сезон, и его недостаточно для гарантированного прохождения пиков потребления в случае аномально холодной зимы.
Восполнение запасов газа в европейских хранилищах — очень серьезный вызов. Учитывая, в том числе, суточные лимиты объемов закачки, которые ограничены технологическими возможностями хранилищ. Кроме того, общий объем доступного на европейском рынке газа сильно зависит от спроса на растущем азиатском рынке.

RUSSIAN GAS EXPORTS CONTINUING
GAZPROM - April 15, 2022, 15:25 - According to preliminary data, Gazprom produced 155.9 billion cubic meters of gas from January 1 through April 15, 2022. This is a decrease of 1.3 per cent (or 2.1 billion cubic meters) versus the same period of last year.
The Company's domestic supplies from the gas transmission system dropped by 3.6 per cent (or by 3.9 billion cubic meters) over said period of 2022 due to, in particular, warm weather observed in February. Supplies in March and the first half of April were commensurate with those in the same period of last year.
Gas exports to the countries beyond the FSU amounted to 44.6 billion cubic meters, which is 26.4 per cent (or 16 billion cubic meters) lower than the figure for the same period of 2021. Gazprom continues to deliver gas as requested by consumers in full compliance with contractual obligations.
Gas exports to China via the Power of Siberia pipeline keep growing within the framework of the long-term bilateral contract between Gazprom and CNPC.
According to Gas Infrastructure Europe, the withdrawal season at Europe's underground gas storage facilities came to an end on March 19. By that date, their working gas inventories totaled merely 25.2 billion cubic meters. This is one of the lowest levels in the long history of observation and a decrease of 5.5 billion cubic meters against the same date of 2021.
Over the past winter season, 51 billion cubic meters of gas were withdrawn from Europe's UGS facilities, i.e. 107.8 per cent of the amount that companies managed to inject in the summer of 2021.
It should be noted that the amount withdrawn in the winter of 2020–2021 totaled 67.3 billion cubic meters of gas, with just 47.3 billion cubic meters replenished in the summer of 2021.
Therefore, it will be required to inject 71 billion cubic meters of gas into Europe's UGS facilities to bring their gas reserves to the level of the 2020–2021 winter season. Furthermore, it will take 72.4 billion cubic meters to get to the level of the 2019–2020 winter season.
Even getting the UGS facilities 90 per cent full, which is the target amount announced by the European Union, would require 63 billion cubic meters of gas to be injected. However, this target is also very ambitious. Over the recent years, no such volumes have been injected into the facilities in the span of a single season; besides, these volumes are insufficient to guarantee successful operation during consumption peaks in the case of an abnormally cold winter.
Replenishment of gas reserves in Europe's facilities is a major challenge in view of, inter alia, the daily limits placed on injection rates due to the technological capabilities of UGS facilities. Moreover, the overall amount of gas available in the European market is highly dependent on demand in the growing Asian market.

RUSSIA UNDER SANCTIONS
Russia's invasion has driven up the price of the oil, gas and grain it exports, providing it with a substantial windfall to fund its "special military operation" - now entering a new phase as Moscow focuses on the eastern Donbas region after failing to break Ukraine's defence of the capital Kyiv.

RUSSIA'S, GERMANY'S GAS DEPENDENCE
The dependence on Russian natural gas in Germany is so great that if supplies from Russia were to be stopped and the remaining quantities of natural gas distributed to Europe, Germany would have to reduce its natural gas consumption in the heating gas sector or in the industrial sector by 100 TWh per year .
