Gas supplies to last for 10 days

yup, don't we infact ship lots of gas to europe and produce a huge amount, like one of the biggest producers? I guess Norway to say spain is a pain, while we can sell to Spain and buy gas from Norway cheaper to supplement if we run low kind of situation.
 
XD It's almost like russia are doing what pre WW2 nazi Germany did, pushing the limits to see how much other countries will accept :/
 
And if England does start running out of gas we can always shut off the supply to Scotland. ;)

I do feel a bit sorry for the guys in the east though, aren't a couple of them in an even worse position than Greece? Some of the former soviets have only a couple of days left.

Yeah, launching Nukes on a G8 county who happens to be the head of the commonwealth is a very wise move indeed.

Starting a war with the largest nuclear power and the greatest throw weight ain't exactly Einsteinian either.
 
I think they were unhappy that the Russians we're charging them more than they wanted to be charged, so they paid less than what the Russian's are asking?

I too don't completely understand though :/

What's the difference between the active/total warheads available thing on the table? And don't be like Duh..some are turned on...or is it really that simple?

What you on about, you’re the one who mentioned Nukes :rolleyes: Who the heck said we would start a war?, and why even bring Nukes into a thread about gas supply’s to a EU county, strange indeed :confused:

Not heard much about this through work which is very surprising. I reckon our Bulgarian office is the hottest office I've ever been in (offices with broken aircon excepted). They sure like their gas there, and it all comes from Russia. :(

Is this forum obsessed with Nukes or sth ? :D :P

From orbit? Absolutely. :(

Anyway, 2% or not, it can affect us. Lack of supply will push up the market prices, meaning we don't get the much-vaunted cuts in energy bills we've all been promised (and very long overdue).

And something about the Russians believing the Ukranians were siphoning off gas that was meant for the rest of europe, with the Ukranians saying they were just equalising the pressure.

(well according to wikipedia...)
 
We've run some articles on gas recently:

The Russian Bear?
Exports of gas from Russia fell 6% between 2006 and 2007 according to the BP statistical review of world energy. Production fell from 612.1 to 607.4 billion cubic meters (bcm) per annum and domestic consumption rose from 432.1 to 438.8 bcm per annum leading to a fall in exported gas.

* The Russian gas supply and transit system is inherited from the Soviet era when Ukraine was an integral part of that system.
* Much of Russian gas exports to Europe must transit Ukraine, placing Ukraine in a position of power and influence well beyond the courtesy of allowing pipelines to transit its territory.
* Ukraine is essentially bankrupt and unable to pay full rates for Russian gas and is thus reported to help itself to some of the in-transit gas.
* Russia has hit economic hardship with the fall in oil prices and can likely ill-afford to subsidise gas supplies to Ukraine.
* Russia and Europe are mutually dependent upon each other in the energy market and both are dependent upon Ukraine for transit of much of Russian gas exports.

Ukraine-Russia gas spat: some background and context
The conflict started in 1992, not in 2006.
Russia cannot win a gas war against Ukraine and knows it.
The real underlying stakes are not about Russia or Ukraine.

Will the UK Face a Natural Gas Crisis this Winter?
...results of simulations of the U.K. natural gas supply and demand situation for the remainder of this heating season. The results of these simulations are quite alarming: it appears that there is a significant chance that the U. K. will run short of natural gas in storage before the end of winter:

FIGURE%20005%20UK%20NAT%20GAS%20CRISIS%20DEC%2008.png


If the U. K should run short of natural gas in storage, the U. K. will need to get along with only its on-going sources of natural gas. These are gas pumped from the U. K. continental shelf, pipeline imports, and imported liquefied natural gas (LNG). Recently, these sources have totaled about 300 million cubic meters a day (Mcm/d). Cutting back to this level of consumption may be difficult, since the shortfall is likely to exceed interruptible supplies, especially during cold weather when demand may exceed 450 Mcm/d according to National Grid.
