Gas transport tariffs to rise 12.5% in 2011
http://www.bne.eu/dispatch_text13888
Troika Dialog
December 16, 2010
The Federal Tariff Service (FTS) plans to raise the tariff that Gazprom charges independent producers for gas transportation by 12.5%, an official told Interfax. The final decision will be made on Friday. We and the Street had modeled a 15% increase, in line with the hikes in industrial domestic gas prices next year. The slower increase in transport tariffs would mean a 1.5% accretion in EBITDA for NOVATEK against what we model.
For Gazprom itself, the transport tariffs for independent producers are not a core revenue source and therefore largely irrelevant to our estimates.

* Rosneft President Khudainatov says firm undervalued
* Needs 2-3 years before attracting strategic foreign partner
MOSCOW Dec 16 (Reuters) - Russia's largest state-owned oil producer, Rosneft , is looking to bring on a strategic foreign investor in 2014-15, Rosneft President Eduard Khudainatov told Interfax during a work visit to Istanbul.
"The management needs 2-3 years to prepare the company, because we think that today it is three times undervalued," said Khudainatov, who has rarely spoken to the press since taking the reigns at Rosneft in September.
Russia is planning to sell 15 percent of Rosneft sometime between 2012 and 2015 as part of a more than $50-billion privatisation drive intended to plug the budget deficit and spur economic growth ahead of the 2012 presidential elections.
Rosneft has a new strategic growth plan in the works that the company hopes will raise its value ahead of the 15-percent stake sale, Khudainatov said.

Khudainatov also told Interfax that Rosneft was not in discussions with mid-size Russian oil firm Bashneft on partnering to develop the giant Trebs and Titov oilfields in Russia's Arctic Yamal Nenets region.
