Economic and Infrastructure Analysis of the Russian Energy Industry
Frost & Sullivan, April 2010, Pages: 47
Russian energy strategy focuses on the revival of the energy industry, modernization of infrastructure and diversification in a phased manner. The strategy is likely to change the structure of energy balance by raising the share of nuclear, hydro and other renewable sources. Russia is expected to improve its energy exports by increasing investment in the energy infrastructure. Emerging opportunities include increase in demand for exploration services, modernization of refineries, drilling and production platforms, vessels and marine equipments, and ship building activities. The research service presents an in-depth analysis of the key economic and infrastructure trends and analyzes their implications on the Russian energy industry.
The economic slowdown and the consequent dip in financing options had sharply curtailed investments in Russia, resulting in cutbacks in capital expenditure and project delays. The Russian budget is sensitive to oil revenues, and the sharp decline in oil prices had severely affected exports, causing current account deficit and increased pressure on the ruble. However, stimulus and anti-crisis packages supporting oil and natural gas production, as well as the slow recovery of oil prices have seen the economy rebound in the second half of 2009. Russia’s energy strategy focuses on the revival of the energy industry, modernisation of infrastructure and phased diversification. It is likely to change the structure of energy balance by raising the shares of nuclear, hydro and other renewable sources. There will be increased investment opportunities in the industry due to intense activities in geological-related exploration services, shipbuilding, modernisation of oil recovery and refining systems, drilling and production platforms as well as vessels and marine equipment.
The oil and gas industry accounts for nearly half of Russia's federal budget. A substantial budget deficit due to fluctuating energy prices has dampened the economic growth and weakened investor sentiments. Nevertheless, in the long term, a revival of energy demand and stable energy prices can help the country enhance its existing capacity production across oil and natural gas segments. Russia is expected to encourage the export of liquid nitrogen gas (LNG), even as the energy industry is facing the pressure of possible project cancellations and lower capital expenditure. Russian LNG production is likely to generate demand for pipelines to ensure distribution and create opportunities for investors in the fields of transportation and storage facilities - particularly terminals, LNG shipping technologies, development of floating storage and regasification units for deployment in remote regions. In the long run, Russia will be looking to maintain cordial international relations with its energy-trading partners to continue funding its domestic social programmes from the revenues earned from energy exports to Rest-of-World.
Frost & Sullivan’s Energy Country Industry Forecast service provides vital inputs for evaluating the attractiveness of a country and its energy industry. Apart from enabling decision makers to assess the impact of non-market forces, it also helps in identifying new market opportunities. This service provides a strong base for preparing contingency plans. In addition, investors can assess industry-specific risk factors as well as conduct a more in-depth micro research.
