THE FUTURE OF RUSSIAN GAS AND GAZPROM

This book examines developments in the Russian gas industry since the late 1990s in a domestic and international context and likely developments over the next two decades. Russian gas deliveries will expand from a domestic, CIS and European focus, to a global role encompassing Asian and North American markets. Over the same period Gazprom has the potential to become Russia's first multinational energy - oil and gas - company.
