It Appears That Russia Will Get The China Natural Gas Market

 A Sunlit7 op

I often opined that Russia, in exchange for this incursion into Ukraine would get the Chinese market for the energy transitions. Part of the global partnership arrangement between Russia and Germany was the rehabbing of housing in Russia providences to energy efficient buildings, it didn't state if those regions were inside or outside Russian borders but we know that Russia thinks what isn't inside it's borders is theirs anyway. There's no mention, and I wouldn't expect there to be an open admission, that in exchange for provocations that would force the world into the start of their planned energy transitions that Russia would be guaranteed a market three times the size of the one they currently serve. I haven't come across any evidence that shows that is stated anywhere but what I have come across is similar to what I found on Europe's transition and that is a map showing the pipeline routes of one completed pipeline, another almost completed and where other new pipelines are planned into China.

Despite the last two months of sharing the link or telling people that new infrastructure in Europe is nearly completed, that they've been working on this transition for years people just kept right on insisting that Europeans were going to freeze this winter. If Europeans freeze this winter it will be one of two reasons. One is what they call best laid plans and they fail or two that they keep selling you the idea that Europeans are freezing and coming to their rescue shipping them more LNG is why your gas bill is spiking due to shortages. Since now they have control over the pipeline distribution it wouldn't surprise me one bit. Underlying it all though isn't that there wouldn't be enough gas because I don't think they'd push the start button if those reserves weren't already filled this past summer, which is why people paid outrageous amounts for gasoline this summer. It placed a high demand on light crude that was being converted to LNG for shipment off to Europe, it would be because private confidential investors into these projects backed by development bank monies are looking for a payback. They would prefer you get squeezed instead of them.

Why would you pay if you weren't in Europe where this infrastructure was built and guaranteed no loss ventures? Demand increases prices as we seen with our gasoline prices this past summer. Light crude was used to convert it to liquified natural gas to Europe. Chances are better than not it was also why we seen such high exports of oil to China and India because they, also in these global partnerships, have built the infrastructure needed to convert oil to natural gas, whereas the US didn't have the refining capacity due to shutter refineries during covid who refuse to open back up because they know that the US is getting in on the game and building refineries in Africa. The only way for the US to compete against China and India for Europe's business is to offshore oil refining to a less regulatory environment and a cheaper workforce. The deal brokered by the Trump administration to send Europe LNG led to the financing and backing of thirty billion dollars to Africa to build refineries there. In the meantime, to get this transition off the ground despite being behind in the game, it wouldn't surprise me that the high cost we paid for gasoline was also attributed to oil being sent off to China and India for conversion to LNG than shipped to Europe. As such it's not just the demand placed on oil but the fact that the deal to Africa was done similarly to how Europe has been doing it. Backing private confidential investors with development bank monies and someone has to pay that back, the development banks only pay if the investors lose money. We, shortly somewhere along the line will find ourselves exactly where Europeans are right now, paying increased prices due to high demand and investors who will come calling. It's a double whammy to taxpayers. It actually should be illegal.

So like I said I've spent two months or better detailing all this to people. They just ignored it up until the two pipelines got blown up last week. Than all of a sudden there's the mention of the third pipeline left untouched. That third pipeline was one in a series of pipelines I had been talking about. That's part of Europe's new infrastructure. Similarly there's such a map for China also where gas will be coming from Russia.  If Russia was selling Europe a combined one hundred ten billion cubic meters annually but has the capacity to supply three hundred and eleven billion cubic feet a day than they have the capacity to take a huge surplus of the China market as it's being built, that's up to three quarters more population potential than Europe. That's a lot of incentive to create provocations that would propel the green energy agenda forward.

The Bovanenkovo gas field is a natural gas field located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. It was discovered in 1972 and developed by Gazprom. It began production in 2012 and produces natural gas and condensates. The total proven reserves of the Bovanenkovo gas field are around 171.5 trillion cubic feet (4.9×1012 cubic metres), and production is stated to be around 11 billion cubic feet (311,000,000 cubic metres) per day in 2010.[1] The Bovanenkovo gas field is part of the Yamal project. 

 

If you look at the timing of events that have unfolded since the invasion of Crimea, the timing of the production of this natural gas expansion of Gazprom leads into those events up to and including the signing on February 4th of this year another agreement between Russia and China for natural gas expansion.  That was the month Russia invaded Ukraine. From out right appearances it looks like once the deal was signed, sealed and delivered delivering anymore gas into Europe was a foregone conclusion and the energy transition was on.

There was never anyway people would have accepted this transition without being forced into it. The bombing of the pipelines it's pretty apparent at this point that every country involved benefits to some degree or another. If this was really about climate change you wouldn't offshore oil production in a less regulatory environment, that's a profit motive, so is a cheaper labor force. Right now it's looking as though they'll stop at nothing to accomplish their plans and force compliance. When they make claims this is going to be a fourth industrial revolution it doesn't appear to be something said lightly, it appears they are taking tearing it all down and building it back better seriously.
