Gazprom owns the Unified gas supply system (UGSS) of the Russian Federation, it satisfies the requests by independent producers to access the system. The idea of separation of gas concern on the activities in the upstream segment and transportation and storage, discussing for quite some time.
Once again this topic was raised by Rosneft in July when the oil company sent to the energy Ministry its proposals on the concept of domestic gas market in Russia. In particular, “Rosneft” suggested to 2025 to distinguish from “Gazprom” gas transport capacity and gas storage into a separate company, to liberalize gas exports, retaining elements of state regulation.
