Independent Gas Producers in Russia : Independent gas companies (that are not part of state-controlled Gazprom and have access to the unified gas supply system) are playing an increasingly significant part in the production and supply of gas in Russia.

The Independent Gas Producers in Russia elucidates the most important aspects of the Russian independent gas-producing sector within a large, complex setting.
The Independent Gas Producers in Russia study provides:
· Description of the independent sector within the gas industry as a whole, including the regulatory environment and the role of Gazprom
· Analysis of the resource base on which the Russian gas market rests with details of regional holdings and licenses
·Domestic and foreign demands for gas, including Central Asian gas suppliers and former Soviet Union purchasers and the geography of deliveries
·Recent and forecasted production, pricing, sales and delivery of gas

The Independent Gas Producers in Russia offers a comprehensive study of the factors affecting supply and demand in the Russian gas market and used these factors to forecast scenarios for the independent sector through 2010 and in some cases, 2015.

The Independent Gas Producers in Russia reviews performance data for LUKOIL, Northgas, NOVATEK, Rosneft, Surgutneftegaz and TNK-BP from 2002 through 2004 or 2005, examines impediments and opportunities for each and forecasts the companies’ growth through 2010 or 2015.

The LNG market worldwide demonstrates continuous growth. In 2006 the number of LNG importing countries totaled 17, the figure that is expected to double by 2015. Currently under construction are 17 new LNG receiving terminals to add to the 59 already in operation. With the increasing demand for LNG, Russia - the leading supplier of natural gas via pipelines in the world - is also vying to join the club of LNG exporters. First deliveries are scheduled to start in 2008 with the commissioning of the Sakhalin-2 LNG plant viewed as a stepping stone for further LNG production growth.
