Gazprom Eyes Move Into Belgian Market
The Associated Press
BRUSSELS -- Energy giant Gazprom has spoken to the Belgian government about moving into the country's gas market as it opens up to competition, Belgium's energy minister said Friday.
Energy Minister Marc Verwilghen said that Gazprom was attracted by the country's gas transport links through Belgium's Zeebrugge port, which would allow it to export to other countries.
Eight or nine European energy firms have expressed interest in the Belgian gas and electricity markets, he said.
Belgium has to open its energy markets by July 2007 and is likely to face EU criticism in the coming months for not doing enough to meet that deadline because the country's energy sector is still controlled by a few major players.
The planned merger between two of those players, Suez and Gaz de France, worsens the situation.
Belgium Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt warned last week that the companies should sell off part of their business to avoid controlling Belgium's electricity market and becoming the country's major gas supplier.
The Suez-Gaz de France tie-up would create a major new European player in energy, water and waste services with a market capitalization of $86 billion. The deal is likely to face tough scrutiny from EU antitrust regulators.
Business in Brief
Total's Offer for Shtokman

"AK&M", 30.03.2006
BERLIN (dpa-AFX) - Die Wirtschaft hat die Reformanstrengungen Russlands gelobt und vor ungerechtfertigter Kritik an der Energiepolitik des wichtigsten deutschen Gaslieferanten gewarnt. Die durch die Lieferkrise mit der Ukraine ausgelöste Debatte über die Vertragstreue Moskaus habe die "russische Befindlichkeit getroffen", sagte der Vorsitzende des Ost-Ausschusses der deutschen Wirtschaft, Klaus Mangold, am Mittwochabend in Berlin. Die Reformen bei Steuern, Zöllen, im Finanzmarkt und beim Eigentumsrecht würden nicht ausreichend gewürdigt. Der Warenaustausch mit Russland werde 2006 die Marke von 40 Milliarden Euro überspringen. Die deutschen Maschinenbauer könnten in den nächsten Jahren weiterhin zweistellige Zuwachsraten erzielen.
Der Chef des Versorgers E.ON Ruhrgas, Burckhard Bergmann, befürchtet nicht, dass Deutschland bei den Energie-Importen "in eine einseitige Abhängigkeit" von Russland gerate. Die russische Seite werde nicht leichtfertig die guten Geschäftsbeziehungen aufs Spiel setzen. Bergmann forderte den halbstaatlichen Energiekonzern Gasprom aber auf, mehr in die Transportinfrastruktur zu investieren. Dies sei in der Vergangenheit vernachlässigt worden. In den Verhandlungen mit Gasprom über die Beteiligung von E.ON Ruhrgas an einem großen Gasvorkommen in Westsibirien seien Fortschritte erzielt worden. Die Russen wollen als Tauschgeschäft in anderen Ländern Anteile des deutschen Konzerns erhalten. Ob Ruhrgas das Gasgeschäft in Ungarn abgeben werde, wollte Bergmann nicht kommentieren.
In der Diskussion um die umstrittene Kredit-Bürgschaftszusage des Bundes für Gasprom bezeichneten die Vertreter der Wirtschaft den Wechsel von Altbundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder (SPD) auf den Aufsichtsratschefposten der Ostsee-Pipeline-Betreibergesellschaft als normalen Vorgang. "Mir ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Bundeskanzler lieber als ein Schweizer Anwalt oder jemand aus Timbuktu oder Liechtenstein", sagte Mangold. Unglücklich sei aber der von Schröder gewählte Zeitpunkt kurz nach dem Ende von Rot-Grün gewesen. Deutsche-Bank-Vorstandsmitglied Tessen von Heydebreck betonte, das Geldinstitut habe bei dem geplanten Gasprom-Kredit weder bei Schröder noch bei einem anderen Mitglied der alten Bundesregierung um Intervention gebeten.
Die Deutsche Bank hatte gemeinsam mit der staatlichen KfW Gasprom einen Milliardenkredit für einen Zubringer der Ostsee-Pipeline angeboten, für den der Bund bürgen wollte. Schröder betont, er sei an der damaligen Entscheidung nicht beteiligt gewesen. Einen Zusammenhang mit seinem Pipeline-Job gebe es nicht. Zwischenzeitlich hat Gasprom Abstand von dem Kredit genommen. Allerdings hätten die Deutsche Bank und die KfW offiziell noch keine Absage von dem Konzern erhalten, sagte von Heydebreck. Die "erfreulichen Geschäftsbeziehungen" mit Gasprom würden fortgesetzt./tb/sk

ON WORKING MEETING BETWEEN ALEXEY MILLER AND BERNARDO IVO CRUZ
Gazprom's Headquarters has hosted a working meeting between Alexander Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Gazprom's Management Committee and Bernardo Ivo Cruz, Under Secretary of State Assistant to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Portugal.
Head of Media-MOST Vladimir Gusinsky who is under house arrest in Spain at present will not allow Gazprom to replace the management of the NTV television. The media tycoon is going to prevent Gazprom from any attempts to replace the NTV management at the next regular meeting of shareholders with the help of his stake in the company. According to Gusinsky, the management of NTV decided to hold a meeting of shareholders on March 12 in Gibraltar. This step is the last turn in the struggle for control over NTV, which Gusinsky calls a struggle for the freedom of speech. Last month Gazprom stated that it acquired control over a blocking share of NTV when a Moscow court froze 19 per cent of shares, which secures Gazprom’s control over 46 per cent of shares of NTV. That is why Gazprom summoned an emergency meeting of shareholders to replace the management and Gusinsky. Though according to Gusinsky, 19 per cent of shares in Media Most Capital&Management, a company registered in Gibraltar, were frozen by a decision of a court in Gibraltar according to Gusinsky’s demand, and as a result, he (Gusinsky) has the right to vote with these shares. If these shares are taken into account the media tycoon and his partners have 49 per cent of shares in NTV. Another 4.6 per cent of the blocking parcel belong to the American Capital Research Fund. Gusinsky has also appealed against the Moscow court that had seized the stocks and he hoped to win the case.
While Gusinsky is trying to save his empire, Rem Vyachirev expresses his disillusion at Gusinsky’s having abused his confidence, Gazprom’s investments failed to achieve the expected result, and Media-MOST has become bankrupt. He mentioned that Gazprom decided to make every effort to gain immediate control over Media-MOST’s subsidiaries. Vyachirev suggested that the shareholders in Media-MOST and its subsidiaries should unite their efforts to improve the management of the holding. Those who are dissatisfied with the current state of the company and unwilling to take part in the restoration of business may sell them.
The head of Gazprom is sure that “the current management of the company is not concerned about the financial prosperity of the company, receiving profits and reaching agreements with creditors. It is neither interested in meeting shareholders’ interest and continues using the company for its own political purposes.

IRKUTSK, March 7 (RIA Novosti) - Russia should build a series of gas refineries in its east to produce and sell highly profitable natural gas derivatives including helium, a senior Gazprom official said Friday.
"We should not simply develop gas deposits and sell gas to domestic and foreign consumers," said Gazprom deputy board chairman Alexander Ananenkov, adding that development of large deposits of natural gas with high helium concentration located in eastern Siberia and Yakutia just to raise production of fuel gas was unacceptable.
Ananenkov said development of methane deposits should include production of other valuable gas components, including helium, ethanol and heavier hydrocarbon derivatives, to make more effective use of oil-dissolved gas contained in largest deposits in eastern Russia.
The Kovyktinsky field in the Irkutsk Region and the Chayandinsk field in Yakutia contain 80% of Russia's helium reserves, but full-scale development could start only from 2015, Ananenkov said. Demand for helium is expected to rise in the near future as the nuclear power and defense industries expand.
Ananenkov said 25% of Russia's gas reserves, or more than 59 trillion cubic meters, is concentrated in the eastern part of the country, where four large gas production centers could be formed in the future: in the Irkutsk Region, the Krasnoyarsk Region, on Sakhalin and in Yakutia. All four centers will be connected by a unified gas transportation system, as part of the national gas transportation network.

Gazprom may name its choice of partners to take an equity stake in the huge Shtokman project at the end of next week, deputy CEO Alexander Ryazanov said Tuesday, declining to give more details.
Shtokman is a Barents Sea field that has reserves of around 3.7 trillion cubic meters of gas, which Gazprom plans to develop and sell to the United States as liquefied natural gas.
Analysts estimate the total costs of the project at more than $20 billion.
Gazprom has named a shortlist of five potential partners: French oil major Total, Norway's Statoil and Hydro, and U.S. majors ConocoPhillips and Chevron.
