European Gas Markets: Where to Next?
As turmoil dominates European and global gas markets, one can be forgiven for taking one’s eye off the longer term prospects for gas and LNG pricing. Michael will consider whether what we have seen in the past can be any guide to the future; notably given climate change concerns, which will clearly be part of the new global picture.

Turkey after the invasion of Ukraine
Even before Russian troops entered Ukraine on February 24, Turkey was living a troubled gas winter, with a return of the gas cuts which had characterised most of the last decade. 45% of the country’s gas supplies last year came from Russia – as did one-third of its coal. What can BOTAŞ do to reduce this dependence? And, with LNG spot prices settled so far above the costs of pipeline gas, does Ankara want this?
