Russian Oil and Gas. April 2019 - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Russia's gas sector is undergoing quite dramatic changes, with companies developing new upstream and export capacity. We estimate that were all the projects in their pipelines completed, Gazprom and Novatek could boost gas exports to 333 bcmpa, including 69 bcmpa of LNG, which is comparable with 30% of the global gas trade in 2018. That said, the companies' investment cases are very different. Looking at the big picture, despite recent weakness in spot pricing, we think the long-term competitive positions of Gazprom and Novatek are solid, though the former's earnings are much more sensitive to the spot markets.
