据8月31日Neftegaz.RU.报道，据《今日油价》分析报道，俄罗斯最大的石油生产商俄罗斯石油公司(Rosneft)提出了出口天然气的请求，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(Gazprom)将作为出口代理商。要知道，俄气是俄罗斯唯一的天然气出口商。
俄罗斯《生意人报》称，俄罗斯石油公司首席执行官伊戈尔·谢钦在8月13日给普京写了一封信，要求俄罗斯石油生产商允许每年向欧洲出口100亿立方米天然气。信件指出，俄罗斯石油公司提议与俄气签署一项协议，俄气将担任俄罗斯石油公司计划运往欧洲的天然气的出口代理商。谢钦在信中指出，这样的协议不会影响俄气对俄罗斯出口的垄断。
俄罗斯石油公司获准出口天然气的主要理由是，在欧洲天然气价格因高需求和供应不足而创下纪录之际，增加出口将提高俄罗斯的预算收入。
据《生意人报》报道，谢钦在信中表示，额外的收入每年可以为俄罗斯带来高达5.02亿美元(约合370亿卢布)的收入。

Russian oil giant Rosneft seeks approval to export natural gas
State-controlled Rosneft, the largest oil producer in Russia, has asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to be allowed to export natural gas with giant Gazprom acting as an export agent, Russian newspaper Kommersant reported, Oilprice analysed.
Gazprom is the sole exporter of natural gas in Russia.
Rosneft’s CEO Igor Sechin wrote a letter to Putin dated August 13, asking the Russian oil producer to be allowed to export 10 billion m3 of gas to Europe per year, Kommersant says.
Rosneft proposes to sign an agreement with Gazprom, in which the gas monopoly will act as the export agent for the gas Rosneft plans to ship to Europe, according to Sechin’s letter seen by Kommersant.
Such an agreement would not affect Gazprom’s monopoly in Russian exports, Sechin notes in the letter.
Rosneft’s key argument for being allowed to export natural gas is that increased exports will raise the budget revenues for Russia at a time when gas prices in Europe are hitting records due to high demand and insufficient supply, including from Gazprom.
Additional revenues could bring Russia as much as $502 million (37 billion Russian rubles) annually, Sechin’s letter says, as per Kommersant.
Rosneft did not indicate in the letter which pipeline route the company would use if it was allowed to export gas.
However, gas exports from Rosneft could help lift the EU restrictions on Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, according to the letter.
