In the following piece we outline some of the major challenges facing the gas sector in Russia and focus on
where some of the potential upsides are to be found. While we remain concerned about the overall level of
investment in Russian upstream and transportation, the potential of the independent gas producers to rise
to the challenge seems strong given the right supporting policy measures. Th e Russian government seems to
be moving in the right direction with regard to domestic pricing policy and third party access to the pipeline
system, yet reliance on imported gas from Central Asia is likely to increase the risks to security over the
medium term. Our concerns on investment need to be seen within the context of our overall concern about
global levels of investment, in upstream gas, pipelines and other infrastructure and even in the burgeoning
liquefi ed natural gas (LNG) industry (see the IEA’s Natural Gas Market Review 2007)
