*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Europe is at the point of no return concerning large-scale Russian piped gas imports. In our base case, we assume that only a handful of countries – Turkey, Serbia, Hungary – will continue importing Russian gas in the long term. But if the war were to end tomorrow, and a political agreement was going to be brokered to accommodate a return of Russian pipe imports to Europe, what would this mean for the gas market? In this report we discuss a hypothetical increase in Russian piped imports into Europe, their possible scale and routes and the implications for the global gas flows and prices.
