-Is marginal import cost a price setter?
-Storage as price determinant in a market with strong seasonal swings
-Delinking of supply cost and wholesale prices through storage
-The role of Russian oil indexed contracts and spot LNG on European hub prices
• The concept of creation of the United Dispatch Service (DS) for integrated gas transportation
systems is proposed. The concept is of universal nature that allows using it for forming the
control systems of complex infrastructure networks up to “Common gas space from Lisbon till
Vladivostok”. At the same time, primarily it may be demanded by the gas markets which are
being expanding or reforming, including the EU internal energy market.
• The DS is capable to improve essentially the quality of gas market management, ensuring,
inter alia: transparency, enhancement of the system reliability, robustness to emergencies,
cost optimization of gas transportation and infrastructure development.
• Laying on the DS additional functions to organize the functioning of the gas market would
enable to fully coordinate the processes of gas trade and transportation, and radically simplify
the corresponding procedures for all market players.
