北極圏に埋蔵する石油・天然ガス資源に関しては,1970年代より多くの調査・研究が行われて来た.以来30年以上の年月を経て,近年ついに,ロシア北極圏での石油・天然ガス生産が一部で始まった.また,新たな油田発見も明らかになった.本論は,その主導的存在であるロシア北極圏の石油・天然ガス開発の最近の動向を紹介するとともに,北極圏での石油・天然ガス開発の意義について言及したものである.

Russia, the largest gas producing country in the world, maintains investments not only in new gas field developments in Sakhalin, Yamal Peninsula and the Arctic but also in the gas pipeline network to the new markets in Northern and Southern Europe and the Far East to cope with their increasing demand. However, at the planning stage plans of cross-border gas pipelines are facing various types of competition. Russia confronts competition of gas suppliers, for example Turkmenistan for the market of China, on the other hand Russia made China a gas-market competitor against the traditional European market, which allowed Russia to win a series of long-term sales and purchase agreements from European gas distributors. As the gas demand soars, Russia may notch a stronger position against both East and West due to its magnitude and flexibility of deliveries,which is being accomplished not through geopolitics but rather through competition in the market.

The appointment of Mr. Rex Tillerson as the Secretary of the State by Mr. Trump prior to the inauguration of his administration at the end of 2016 was thought a strong message that the No. 1 businessman of USA in the Russian business community is going to manage the USA diplomacy. However, Mr. Michael Flynn, a presidential assistant, was prosecuted for his close contact with the Russian agent, and the “Russia Gate” is under investigation by FBI which is a serious issue for the administration. So, Mr. Tillerson had to correct his political stand to cope with the parliament, since the US diplomatic policy concerning Russia was virtually run by the parliament not by the President. In addition to that, “Countering America’s Adversaries through Sanctions Act”, which was drafted by the parliament members and became effective on August 2nd, 2017, provides for further sanction against Russia and at the same time restrains the construction of the Nord Stream 2, a direct gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, for the reason of avoidance of too much concentration of one gas source, i.e. Russia, in the EU market. This issue created a splitting in Europe, since leading EU countries like Germany, France and Austria put a premium of the commercial value and would like to purchase cheap and stable gas from anywhere, while Ukraine and Poland wary about too much reliance on the Russian gas, which sometimes works, they believe, as a political weapon to control the consuming countries. The United States is in the position to check the influence of Russia in the European energy market and has same opinion with Ukraine and Poland. However, this is not all the points of confrontation among European countries. Ukraine and Poland have been enjoying benefits as transit countries of the Russian gas pipelines. The Nord Stream 2 was designed to detour these countries to avoid any disorder of transportation of gas, which means Ukraine and Poland will not be able to receive transit fees. These two countries are superficially warning the risk of too much dependence on Russian gas, but the fact is that their economy depend heavily on the transit fees of gas from Russia and these countries don’t want to lose them.

サハリンでは20世紀初頭には最初の油田が発見され、1925年、日本の「北樺太石油」が終戦直前まで本格的な石油開発を行って来た。戦後、1974年に「サハリン石油開発協力」が設立され、サハリン大陸棚での探鉱に参加し、オドプトとチャイウォという2つの海洋油田が発見された。ソ連崩壊後はPS契約に衣替えし、サハリン1で石油生産、サハリン2で石油のLNGの生産に成功している。ここで、日本の技術がいかに活用されて来たか見てみたい。
