Book Synopsis History of the European Oil and Gas Industry by : J. Craig
Download or read book History of the European Oil and Gas Industry written by J. Craig and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2018 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the European oil and gas industry reflects local as well as global political events, economic constraints and the personal endeavours of individual petroleum geoscientists as much as it does the development of technologies and the underlying geology of the region. The first commercial oil wells in Europe were drilled in Poland in 1853, Romania in 1857, Germany in 1859 and Italy in 1860. The 23 papers in this volume focus on the history and heritage of the oil and gas industry in the key European oil-producing countries from the earliest onshore drilling to its development into the modern industry that we know today. The contributors chronicle the main events and some of the major players that shaped the industry in Europe. The volume also marks several important anniversaries, including 150 years of oil exploration in Poland and Romania, the centenary of the drilling of the first oil well in the UK and 50 years of oil production from onshore Spain.

Book Synopsis Oil and Gas to Europe by : Susanne Nies
Download or read book Oil and Gas to Europe written by Susanne Nies and published by Gouvernance Europeenne Et Geop. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union's hydrocarbon energy supply depends heavily on imports. While the European Commission has recommended diversifying and increasing domestic resources, notably with renewable resources that should grow to 20 percent by 2020, dependence on hydrocarbon imports will remain not only substantial, but will increase. This entirely revised edition of the fourth study conducted by the European Governance and Geopolitics of Energy Program at IFRI includes discussions about pipeline routes and potential outputs, their current use and financial requirements for transportation, ongoing projects and those planned for the future, their cost, their financing, and their probable operational start-up date. While all infrastructures are necessarily examined (including Norway, the United Kingdom, and North Africa), particular attention is paid to transportation infrastructure that connects Europe with Russia and the former Soviet Union (Central Asia, Caspian Sea).
Book Synopsis Oil and Gas: Europe's entanglement by : Peter R. Odell
Download or read book Oil and Gas: Europe's entanglement written by Peter R. Odell and published by multi-science publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second of two volumes on issues surrounding oil and gas examines a succession of fundamental changes in the European energy economy during the last 40 years. Examined are the reasons why imported oil replaced indigenous coal as the primary energy source in the early post–World War II period; the discovery and exploitation of the North Sea basin’s hydrocarbons resources; and the evolution of the continent’s natural gas markets from the early 1960s, when it accounted for less than two percent of total energy used, to the current contribution of more than 25 percent and an expected eventual share of 35 percent of Europe’s energy supply. These powerful and complex dynamics of Europe’s energy sector are then put in the context of the broader political and economic structures and policies that have emerged over the last four decades.
Book Synopsis New Political Economy of Energy in Europe by : Jakub M. Godzimirski
Download or read book New Political Economy of Energy in Europe written by Jakub M. Godzimirski and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection details and analyses the dramatic changes that the international political economy of energy has undergone in the past decade. This change began with the increasing assertiveness of Russia when the oil price rose above the $100 mark in 2008. This, combined with the rise of shale oil and gas, made the USA all but self-sufficient in terms of fossil fuels. The collapse of the oil price in 2014-15, Saudi Arabia’s new strategy of defending its market share and the increasingly tense and controversial relationship between the West and Russia all worked to further strengthen the geopolitical dimension of energy in Europe. The global result is a world in which geopolitics play a bigger part than ever before; the central question the authors of this volume grapple with is how the EU – and European small states – can deal with this.

Book Synopsis Long-term Energy Security Risks for Europe by : Arianna Checchi
Download or read book Long-term Energy Security Risks for Europe written by Arianna Checchi and published by CEPS. This book was released on 2009 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the paper is to identify and evaluate existing and potential EU energy supply risks on the basis of a sector-specific approach. Moving away from common generalisations on security of energy supply as well as from those studies that focus only on one sector, it brings together all types of fuel and analyses the risks related to each of them. The result is a comprehensive picture of the energy security challenges faced by the EU in the long-term. The paper can be seen as a tool to avoid overlapping, incoherence and contradictions in the process of assessing security of supply and aims to formulate a consistent and more unified European energy policy.
Book Synopsis Energy in Europe by : Thomas G. Weyman-Jones
Download or read book Energy in Europe written by Thomas G. Weyman-Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1986. Energy economics emerged in the 1970s as one of the most controversial and critical aspects of European economic and political development. This book provides a fully comprehensive but easily accessible guide to the key issues of energy policy, placing them in a European context. As well as discussing oil price movements and their effects on European prosperity, it assesses the role of energy conservation and pricing policies. The chapters discuss the economic, political and social impact of nuclear power programmes, North Sea oil and gas discoveries, Soviet gas imports, and coal field closures, and go on to forecast possible future developments. This is for all those concerned with European and energy studies, especially political scientists, geographers, economists, and environmental and resource specialists.
Book Synopsis The World Market for Natural Gas by : Andrea Gilardoni
Download or read book The World Market for Natural Gas written by Andrea Gilardoni and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a product of investigations conducted within the Global Utility Research Unit (Guru) of Agici Corporate Finance (Milan, Italy). More specifically, it is the result of a project developed by the Observatory on Alliances and Strategies in the Pan-European Utility Market set-up seven years ago with the contribution of Accenture. The project, entitled “Pan-European Gas Industry Scenario – Truth and Lies”, was presented at the 2008 Milan annual international conference (www. agici. it). I would therefore like to thank Luca Cesari, Claudio Arcudi and Massimo Pagella from Accenture for their continued support. The scope of this book is to shed some light on a market, that of natural gas, which is highly complex and at the same time of fundamental importance for Europe for at least the next 20 years. We do not intend to build a theory but only to develop a better understanding of the key factors. We fully recognise that the each of the issues we cover deserves further investigation and we are also well aware that we may have omitted a number of important considerations and topics. These shortcomings are - at least in part - justified by the desire to keep the book to a r- sonable size for editorial reasons.
Book Synopsis EU Energy Security in the Gas Sector by : Filippos Proedrou
Download or read book EU Energy Security in the Gas Sector written by Filippos Proedrou and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills an important gap in the literature on energy security in the gas sector in the European Union. Whilst the emphasis is often on energy security in the oil sector, the gas sector has grown in importance in recent decades, with increasing liberalization raising critical questions for the security of gas supplies. The share of gas in Europe's energy mix is rising and the differences between the politics and economics of gas and oil supply are becoming more pronounced. The author sheds light on the state of EU energy security in the gas sector, its interdependence with external suppliers and the current gas strategy. He examines the role of energy companies, EU member-states and EU institutions, locates the main developments in the gas sector and focuses on the principal challenges posed by such fundamental changes. The author scrutinizes the EU's relations with its main gas supplier, Russia, as well as with alternative suppliers, elaborates on the key infrastructure projects on the table and their principal ramifications, and discusses the main policies that member-states pursue to achieve energy security as well as the EU's internal contradictions. The book concludes with policy recommendations, particularly in the light of tougher environmental regulation.

Book Synopsis The Future of Russian Gas and Gazprom by : Jonathan P. Stern
Download or read book The Future of Russian Gas and Gazprom written by Jonathan P. Stern and published by Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. This book was released on 2005 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russian gas industry provides 50% of Russian domestic energy supplies, a substantial proportion of CIS gas supplies, and around 20% of European gas demand. Declines in production at existing fields mean that Gazprom will face increasingly difficult decisions about moving to higher cost fields on the Yamal Peninsula. The alternative will be increasing imports from Central Asian countries and allowing other Russian gas producers to increase their role in the industry. Russian exports to Europe will gradually increase and deliveries of Russian LNG will commence to Asia and the both coasts of North America. Pipeline gas deliveries to East Asian countries may have a longer time horizon. Export projects aimed at new markets will depend crucially on the maintenance of (oil and) gas prices at the levels of 2003-05. European exports will also depend on the pace of EU market liberalisation and Gazprom's ability to agree mutually acceptable terms for transit, principally with Ukraine and Belarus. Reform, liberalisation and restructuring of the Russian gas industry have been more substantial than has generally been recognised. Most important has been price reform which, in 2005, allowed Russian industrial customers to become profitable to serve at regulated prices. Price increases may significantly reduce future increases in domestic gas demand. The increasing need for production from companies other than Gazprom will ensure that liberalised access to networks expands considerably over the next decade. In the 2000s, Gazprom reclaimed its CIS gas business from intermediaries, while maintaining its de facto monopoly of exports to Europe and establishing a similar degree of authority over future exports to Asia. The merger of Gazprom and Rosneft will provide the potential to become a force in the domestic and international oil markets, particularly given the authority that the president has conferred on the company in terms of Russian energy policy.
Book Synopsis European Energy Studies, Volume 11: the Security of Europe's Oil and Gas Supply by : Giacomo Luciani
Download or read book European Energy Studies, Volume 11: the Security of Europe's Oil and Gas Supply written by Giacomo Luciani and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part 1: The contribution of oil to the security of energy supplies. Contrary to a widely shared perception that oil is an insecure source of energy supply, careful analysis shows that oil supply and logistics are very resilient to external shocks and potential conflict. The drive towards decarbonisation may mean that oil demand will peak before the middle of the century. The analysis covers the recent evolution of global oil production and shows how this has further reduced the impact of resource nationalism and political instability on oil exports. The logistics of oil have further improved, and preoccupations about such phenomena as piracy almost completely disappeared. Greater elasticity of oil supply relative to price is also impacting also on the functioning of the global oil market, increasing its responsiveness to demand and supply fundamentals. Part 2: The contribution of natural gas to secure and cost-effective decarbonisation of Europe's energy supply. Persistent tensions in EU-Russia relations have led to significant misgivings about the security of gas supplies. However, careful and systematic analysis shows that in fact the security of Europe's gas supplies has consistently improved in the past two decades thanks to the success of the process of creation of a single, transparent, and competitive European gas market. Notwithstanding two significant episodes of interruption of Russian gas supplies to Europe, the diversification of Russian export routes and belated acceptance on the part of Gazprom of the inevitability of complying with EU rules has completely changed supply conditions. Globally, an upsurge of investment in LNG projects is leading to the formation of a global gas market in which cargoes can flexibly be redirected to accommodate unforeseen developments. In the context of Europe's drive towards decarbonisation, gas provides a flexible source that can compensate of the intermittency of new renewables and substitute for coal with substantial reduction in emissions. Unless European attitudes towards nuclear change, total elimination of reliance on fossil fuels for power production is impossible and gas will have an important role to play. Highlights: A very up to date overview of the role of Oil and Gas in a changing world, with focus on security, logistics, elasticity, investments. Covers the recent evolution of global oil production.
