competitors occupy the share of Gazprom not only in the European gas market, but also on his own - Russia. Russia"s gas sales to consumers through Mezhregiongaz because of the recession in 2009 decreased by 6.7% relative to 2008, wrote today, RBC daily, with reference to a source familiar with the materials of the board of directors of Gazprom, which will be held on January 26 . Thus, metallurgy bought 7% less than last year, electric power - on 4,5%. In 2010, sales in the domestic market, projected to the group, should be at the level of 2009 when this monopoly notes that consumers in the region, located close to the fields of production by independent gas producers are increasingly reduce her purchasfe6es of raw materials.

Thus, Gazprom"s gas they substitute cheaper gas independent suppliers. Currently undergoing a period of a contract to supply fuel for 2010, while consumers have already signed the agreement in force until 2012, asked to reduce the liability for failure to select the gas. To maintain sales, the monopoly began to negotiate with buyers to reduce gas prices. In Gazprom refused to comment on its pricing policy.

In Lukoil said that so far can not compete with Gazprom on the domestic gas market, since it belongs to the gas transportation system. This company produces natural gas in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, where one buyer - "Gazprom". However, the situation should change when the "Lukoil" will begin producing gas in the Caspian Sea and build a gas pipeline from the Caspian shore to the Krasnodar region. TNK-BP also plans to expand its gas business. "We hope that the gas market in the country will grow, but even if not, you are ready to compete by offering customers more favorable terms of sales", - said the representative of the company. As stated in the memorandum to the Eurobond TNK-BP, it intends to triple the supply of gas in 2016 - up to 9.9 billion cubic meters. m.
