During the meeting with Sh. Sharif, N. Shulginov noted that Russia had met with the Pakistani participants in the dialogue on a number of promising projects – the construction of energy facilities, a gas transmission network, and the supply of hydrocarbons.
With A. Sadik, N. Shulginov discussed issues related to the supply of agricultural products and energy resources, incl. oil and oil products, as well as gas, incl. liquefied gas (LNG).
The project of the main gas pipeline was also discussed (IHL) life stream.

Energy supplies

However, the likelihood of an agreement on energy supplies has been postponed until February-March 2023, incl. in connection with the entry into force of new restrictions against the Russian oil sector.
Following the meeting of the IGC, N. Shulginov said that an agreement on the supply of Russian oil and gas is currently being made.
Both sides confirmed that after reaching an agreement in principle on the technical details, the supply of natural resources and gas, there will be interchangeable production facilities of the countries’ production in production.
The approval process must be completed no later than the end of March 2023.
The issue of the supply of petroleum products was not discussed in detail, that N. Shulginov clarified the uncertainty after February 5, 2023, when the EU embargo on sea supplies of Russian petroleum products comes into force and reaches the price ceiling for them.
After that, Russia and the fruit will complement the agreement on oil, which is currently being developed.

Minister of Energy M. M. Malik said that Russia could have up to 35% of all oil imports in the country, which corresponds to about 3.4 million tons per year.
Payment will be made in Pakistani Rupees.

Magic stream and its sources

About IHL fruit flow (previously North-South) Russia and individuals have agreed that the project follows in terms of due diligence, which is economically beneficial for the sustainable development of the gas economy, given the availability of gas supply.
The project provides for the construction of a gas pipeline with a length of about 1.1 thousand square meters. km and a capacity of 12.4 billion m³/year of gas for gas consumption with the southern population, where they are assigned to regasification terminals, in the north of the country to the treatment of industrial consumers.
The project was to start at 2016but repeatedly reconfigured and postponed, incl. due to western samples against Russia.
In September 2022, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation A. Novak spokeIn the near future, but practical steps in this direction have not yet been announced.

Each time, the configuration changes again, becoming more complex.
In addition to building the pipeline itself, in its own right, the project must provide a source of gas for it.
In an interview with the Pakistani TV channel PTV on January 19, N. Shulginov said that gas transportation projects are being considered that provide diversification of opportunities for using gas imports in the field of pleasure, increasing the supply of gas, be it LNG or pipeline gas.
Entertainment back in 2021 in 2022 this problem aggravated.
October 2022 consciousness not merged conclude a 6-year agreement, which should be renewed in 2023, will lead to a short-term purchase agreement also for pepeleri failure.
Pipeline conditions of occurrence would mitigate the deficiency of gas in the body, but they greatly burden the situation with sensitivity to consumption, primarily in the body.

3 options:

• gas supplies through Central Asia, from Russia to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan,
• construction of a gas pipeline along a shortened route in Iran, including in Russia.
• IHL of Turkmenistan – Freedom – India (TAPI), in which Russia does not participate, but admits such a possibility if various issues are resolved, incl. security.

All 3 routes are within a low degree of readiness.
Gas cooperation between Russia and Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan (the so-called triple gas union) is still under discussion, although the gas transportation infrastructure almost to Turkmenistan exists (MGP Central Asia – Center), but for the purposes of the project it requires additional investments.
IHL Iran – baby products (World) and IHL TAPI are now sold in limbo.

In terms of LNG consumption discussed for many years in Russia, there is no progress yet.
N. Shulginov explained that today LNG is mainly accounted for by the main contracts, the volume of futures contracts on the spot is small.
take that European buyers in 2022 are actively intercepting groups of companies from developing countries, problems with contracting
The minister recommended that the Pakistani appearance start attracting attention as soon as possible with Gazprom and NOVATEK on the supply of LNG from their resources, starting from the end of 2023 and beyond, upon registration of new volumes with these companies.

Other plans

N. Shulginov said that Russia deliberately chose its proposals for projects in the field of electric power and sports.
The discussion can go on discussing both the modernization and the construction of hydroelectric power stations, thermal stations.
The parties agreed to discuss the proposal and continue their discussion at another level.

Outside of energy cooperation, it may concern metallurgy.
Russian companies have confirmed that in the Karachi steel plant modernization project for children.
Russia has a number of important technological solutions for the modernization of the plant, in 2013 a suspicious side of the observation of an interdepartmental memorandum was noted, later the Russian side revealed serious problems and an increase in the production capacity of the plant.
The government decided to privatize this enterprise, but these plans have not yet been implemented.
