Difference are mostly savings - building and hot water pipes insulation, industrial processes as well. Nothing very costly or complicated, political will is enough. And 2-4 years time. No extra extraction is needed. A little time or luck (warm winter) is needed.Maczeta Ockhamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09162881309570130913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251183560375528307.post-49818752035754917592014-06-21T22:21:25.552-05:002014-06-21T22:21:25.552-05:00Abt 20% domestic, more than 35% North Sea imports,...Abt 20% domestic, more than 35% North Sea imports, Russia imports more or less the same. <br />The rest abt 5%-10% these are renewables- biogas and very small but growing hydrogen enrichment of natural gas (electrolisis from surplus electricity- means renewables) and very small quantity of LNG- road trucked from Rotterdam- its cheaper then Russian gas (trucking included!!!) Next year probably will be finished Świnoujście Gazoport (LNG regasification facility) smg like 10 km from German border and main gas pipes. <br />Gas consumption is dropping like stone, LNG is cheaper, and renewable gas production is growing.

However, it stands in the very center of the territory of the “Yuzov project”, where the deposits are located of the energy source of the 21st century are located - of the tight sandstone natural gas also known as shale gas.<br /><br />The gigantic deposit spreads into a part of the territory of Donetsk and Kharkiv regions.<br /><br />(large picture of Ukraine with gas deposits marked)<br /><br />The total area of the shale gas deposit is almost 8 thousand square kilometers. Experts point out that the gas deposits in this land can bring revolutionary changes not only to Ukraine’s energetics, but of the whole Europe.<br /><br />“According to the latest confirmed data, coming from Americans, there are 3.6 trillion cubic meters of gas that they clearly see how to extract. This is a significant amount, a large amount, because if Ukraine increases extraction by 15-20 billion cubic meters, it will become an exporter”, - the director general of the center for energy studies Oleksandr Kharchenko points out."<br /><br />http://en.itar-tass.com/world/700551<br /><br />This is from September of last year before the crisis.<br /><br />"Royal Dutch Shell that won a tender to develop a shale gas deposit in Ukraine’s Donetsk and Kharkov regions promised to invest around $410 million into geological surveying at the project’s first stage. These investments will be realized within three-five years.<br /><br />According to an optimistic scenario, the Yuzov shale gas field may produce up to 20 billion cubic meters a year, which corresponds to Ukraine’s current gas output.<br /><br />The Ukrainian government’s press service said investments into the field at the stage of commercial development would total $3.75 billion. Ukraine plans to start drilling prospecting holes this year. The Yuzov field’s reserves are estimated at 4 trillion cubic meters."<br /><br />I know you and others from TOD are really expert on debunking such stuff like whether deposits, reserves what have you are real or serious game changers ,etc. Reading the above brings to mind that this whole govt. overthrow in Ukraine and war for Donbass is really an ethnic cleansing to get at the gas areas from Shell and Oligarchs greedy for money. Obama and Nuland engineered this just like Cheney and Bush the Iraq war. Educated Comment? I hope that htis would shed an unemotional light among Peak Oilers on what up till now seems a matter of pro and anit-Russian opinion coloured by whatever arguments happen to be on hand about who shot who on what day. But these articles seem to throw everything in a completely different light.
