3. Setting the Scene I cannot forecast you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key? The key is Russian national interests. Sir Winston Churchill, 1939

4. Setting the Scene Scene 2004 Russian oil prevented a 3rd oil crises Safety record of tankers from FSU high Europe completely dependent on Russian oil Change of Scene? Scene 2005 Russian oil export slowing – tension in the oil market Safety record continue to be excellent - no new major tanker casualties Increasing oil export from special projects (Primorks (soon peaking?), Sakhalin, Northern areas) and pipelines? Overinvestment in ice-classed tonnage?

5. Oil Export

6. World increase in oil demand supplied by FSU and the rest mbd

7. World largest crude oil exporters - mbd

8. FSU crude oil and products export - mbd

9. European crude oil import mbd

10. Sources of European oil import 1H05 – 12.9 mbd Source: IEA (The US 0.32 mbd from FSU 1H05) 4.4 mbd

11. Oil export from FSU 1H05 Source: IEA

12. Market effect (pipeline effect) of one mbd transported various trades

25. Conclusion

26. S lower expansion in FSU oil export, but M ost Russian oil goes to Europe P ipelines will in medium to long term take market shares S afety record very good, trade served by modern tonnage M any projects – u ncertainty with regard to technical, geological, commercial as well as political factors
