| Works, offers and solutions of “ERTA” |
The first, introductory, stage consisted of series of lections for management about the features of structure and functioning of Russian gas market. We presented the main figures in the market, balance of market power, features of state regulation. During the second stage, “ERTA” offered a few strategies of access to the gas market, which will help to avoid conflicts with dominant figures on the market. One of these strategies was chosen as the main one, and, during the third stage, we made analysis of gas market in the chosen region, estimated perspective fields and gave some recommendations about the variants of its development.

It was necessary to define what are the perspectives of gas supply to these power stations, what prices will be and what supply volume is needed. |
| Works, offers and solutions of “ERTA” |
We made a price forecast and draw up the balance of production/consumption of gas in Russia generally, and in this region particularly. The situation seemed to be good, but it was necessary to calculate the payback from buying of these power stations. For this, we needed to answer few questions concerning electricity market: • What is the price of electricity and what are the mechanisms of forming the price? • What are the forecasted changes at market, will it be launched some new generating or consuming facilities? • How these changes will influence the prices? Besides, it was necessary to estimate the technical condition of acquired power stations. For this, it was needed to engage some Russian specialists, realize technical audit of power generation objects and show its results to management. We helped to choose the technical experts and quickly organized the interaction with them. As result, it was calculated the reasonable price of acquiring of these power stations. |
| Result | The company decided to acquire some power stations in Russia. |
Advisability of Refinery building
| Client | Russian mining company |
| The description of the initial situation |
The company, which specialize on mining, came to us with the problem: a big amount of machinery, working on a diesel fuel, were involved in a perspective project in the Far East. The company had to deliver the fuel from afar, which increased the project cost. The company decided to build the fuel production facilities in an reasonable closeness using the resources of nearest fields
|
| Works, offers and solutions of “ERTA” |
We made an estimation of possibility and feasibility of fuel production facilities building. In process of analysis, we had an answers on this questions: • What are the true fuel needs of a company? • How much will it cost to change the fuel supplier? • On base of what fields, does it possible to build the fuel production facilities, and who are the owners of these fields? • Who produces the facilities, needed for fuel production on the fields? • What are the infrastructural circumstances? (gas pipelines, roads, etc.) • Is it possible to refuse from heating oil production? |
| Result | The reasonable price of refinery was calculated |
Field management in aim to raise the cost
| Client | “Interros” company |
| The description of the initial situation | Shares in a project of the Kovyktinskoye field development (subsoil user – “RUSIA Petroleum”) belonged to “Interros”, for which this business is non-core.

| Shares in a project of the Kovyktinskoye field development (subsoil user – “RUSIA Petroleum”) belonged to “Interros”, for which this business is non-core. The shareholder decided to engage some outside consulting company for services in accompaniment of accepted decisions. |
During few years, “ERTA” accompanied the processes of decision-making about the Kovyktinskoye field in the Board of Directors of “RUSIA Petroleum”. In a number of decisions, accepted with our help, is included: • Choice of contractor and budget approval • Affirmation of geological researches results • Negotiations with “Gazprom” and local authorities • Negotiations about gas supply at China • Affirmation of existing financing project As a result, the market price of the field was increased greatly. Also, we took part in a process of a sale, including preparation of the potential buyers list, preparation of investment memorandum, organization of the “data room” |
| Result | Market price of the field increased greatly, gas asset was realized with a profit. Similar project in a field of management was realized for Holding “Metalloinvest” on Yurubchinskiy unit of Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye Field (subsoil user company – VSNK). |
Evaluation of possible effects from field enquiring
| Client | Russian metallurgical company |
| The description of the initial situation | The license on gas field was proposed to the metallurgical company.

They decided to find out, what will be the final price of gas and what risks will arise if the company enter the gas market. Will the purchase be reasonable? |
| Works, offers and solutions of “ERTA” |
We made an evaluation of: • Perspectives of field development, including evaluation of gas reserves, possibility to transport gas to the consumer, final gas price. • Gas prices perspectives on the market As a result “ERTA” did not recommend to buy that field, because gain in price was miserable and overbalanced by risks of conflict with dominating gas suppliers and local authorities |
| Result | Shareholders of metallurgical company refused from acquiring of gas asset. |
Taking into account the Russian specifics
| Client | Foreign gas company |
| The description of the initial situation | The company acquired the field in Russia, planning to start gas production. Nevertheless, the company faced few difficulties: it turned out, that gas production cannot be started until all technological requirements are not completed. It was impossible to connect to the nearest gas pipeline, because no one knew who the owner of the pipe was. In addition, it was unknown, does it exist any additional need of gas among the consumers on that side of the pipe. All of this was complicated by the conflict with other market players. No attention was paid to the Russian law base; company did not contacted with the local administration. The danger of license revocation arose. |
| Works, offers and solutions of “ERTA” | The documents was checked, we found out the main problems. We made the research of local market, key figures and their interests. As a result, we found out the compromise solution, which satisfied all parties of the conflict. |
| Result | Russian technological requirements were fulfilled, the field was successfully launched. |
