And with the recent dramatic fall in crude oil prices, Gazprom – and Russia as a whole – has been fundamentally challenged to remain competitive in spite of its largely oil-linked EU supply contracts. How can Gazprom meet these challenges? Gas Strategies discussed Russia’s future supply strategy with BP head of Russia and CIS economics Vladimir Drebentsov.
