The Russian gas industry: challenges to the 'Gazprom model'?

Post-Communist Economies, 2014, vol. 26, issue 1, 53-66

Abstract: The Russian gas sector is undergoing significant changes which are opening the way for an original reform. Because of the particular institutional and economic context of the country, this reorganisation is not taking place along the lines of the de-integrated model of the EU. It is characterised by increasingly significant competitive fringes. Gazprom remains the main actor in the Russian gas industry but the company is facing challenges on its main export market and increasing competition at home with the arrival of new gas firms, independents and Russian oil companies. For Gazprom, the aim is to develop more flexible strategies for export markets but also on its internal market. These internal changes will not be without consequences for the country's export strategy and the implications for international markets could be considerable.
