‘The Eastern European Gas Market Outlook 2009’ is a newly updated
report examines the role of gas in each of the major Eastern European
markets and analyses the differences that exist in terms of gas self
sufficiency, and future growth of demand. This report provides new and
updated analysis of 12 Eastern European gas markets, with detailed data
on supply and demand balances. Each country profile features supply and
demand overviews, an examination of key governmental, legal and
political influences on the sector and an analysis of wholesale trading
and the pipeline, LNG and storage infrastructure.

Key Findings

Several new gas export projects are under way or being planned in
Russia, including the Nord Stream under the Baltic Sea, as well as LNG
exports. The Russian gas market is dominated by Gazprom, in which the
state is the controlling shareholder.

Romania remains the largest producer of gas in the Central and Eastern
European region. Although production has been declining in recent
years, a number of infrastructure developments have been planned
including the introduction of double storage capacity and new
cross-border interconnections with the Ukraine and Bulgaria.

The Czech Republic has experienced strong demand growth has in recent
years. Although coal is still the dominant fuel, with 45% of primary
energy use, gas is becoming a key part of the country’s energy mix.

Slovakia is in a strong position to take commercial advantage of
liberalizing European markets due to the country’s close proximity to
some of the largest Russian export pipelines, its sizeable storage
capacity and its ability to easily increase transit volumes.
