“Another support is that the Azeri gas we buy was once again Russian. Sick consciousness of people who believe that apart from Russian gas – there is no other. They also said that American gas is also Russian – there is no other gas in the world except Russian. Because several tankers with Russian liquefied natural gas were sold to America. America will come close to 1 trillion cubic meters of natural gas produced/produced this year, 30% more than Russia.”
This is reported by Iliyan Vasilev in his latest analysis published on Facebook. According to him, the Azeris include 2 new deposits in their balances for natural gas and oil, which allows them to increase exports as well. According to him, they will also start transiting Turkmen gas.
“Well, our opponents refer to a contract between „Gazprom“ and „Sokar“ for the import of Russian gas to Azerbaijan, concluded 2 weeks ago. They talk about „billions“, and it is only for 1 billion cubic meters and it covers a need for regional seasonal balancing, without any particular significance for exports. In past years, Baku has bought up to 6 billion cubic meters, when its own deposits were not yet fully operational. Also sold in Russia. Cross-border balances. This in no way can fill the claim that we are importing Russian gas again. Azeris export more than 20 billion cubic meters – even more. They need this support to justify the planned scheme of importing Russian gas from the gas hub in Turkey, that is, to serve Putin and tell you that whatever you do, you will still import Russian gas”, Vassilev explains.
According to the analyst, the second support is that, apart from Russian oil, there is no other in the Black Sea. He added:
“The news just came out that Kazakhstan, whose oil goes to the Black Sea / Azeri oil also goes out / has announced that it is ready to supply … Germany with oil to replace the sanctioned Russian oil. Where is Germany, where are we? But if you don’t want diversification from Russian oil, there’s no way to get it.”
The storm surrounding Neftokhim is yet to heat up, Vassilev believes. In his words, President Rumen Radev, GERB and DPS are so immersed in dependence on „Lukoil“ that they refuse to see the sharply increasing risks.
