European Gas Transit: A tangled knot

Thilo Wieland, Executive Director, Exploration & Production in Russia, North Africa & South America Wintershall; Grethe Kristin Moen, President & CEO, Petoro AS; Amos Hochstein, SVP, Tellurian; Maria Rita Galli, Executive Vice President Business Development, Snam S.p.A in a discussion moderated by Simon Blakey, Advisor, Global Gas, IHS Markit. Record flows of pipeline natural gas from Russia to Europe have occurred in 2018. Meanwhile the European Union presses on with completion of the Single Energy Market. The future will see new pipelines come into operation and new commercial terms for some core transit routes. All parties - sellers, importers, and transit routes - will want to establish the new basis for reliable and secure flows of natural gas to continue.
