Technical Economical Institutional1. Limited capacity of gas transmission systems;
2. Current condition of APG processing capacities;
3. Shortcomings (lack) of product transportation infrastructure from gas processing plants (broad fractions of light hydrocarbons, liquefied hydrocarbon gases)
1. State control of the APG wholesale prices;
2. Pricing on the market of APG products (LHCG, dry stripped gas);
3. Dry gas transport and sales costs;
4. Cost of transportation for liquid products obtained from APG processing.
1. APG has not been designated as mineral resource, no state control of APG use;
2. Uncertainty as to who owns APG produced from the subsoil;
3. Not all of licensing agreements establish mandatory level of APG utilization;
4. No requirements outlined concerning introduction of mandatory account of APG resources, extraction volumes and utilization ;
5. No procedures developed for state control of APG utilization;
6. Procedures for access of oil companies to the APG transport and processing capacities are not legally formalized;
7. No effective pricing system developed to insure balance between interests of oil companies and natural monopoly entities.
Main reasons for wide-scale associatedpetroleum gas flaring
In order to commercialize APG, following will be required:1. Joint efforts of oil producing and oil processing
companies;
2. Well-planned long-term strategy of the Government including, along with state control and monitoring, the mechanisms to stimulate investment projects involving APG utilization with innovative technologies and equipment.

Bottlenecks in the production chainfrom well to the output of liquefied hydrocarbon gases
Production chain elements Bottlenecks :production
Bottlenecks :government role and its incentives
Wells(oil deposits)
APG production and use accounting Technical regulation measures; APG utilization programs in the development projects (licenses)
Gas-gathering infrastructures High capital expenditures and their questionable profitability for oil companies; APG price level
Technical regulation measures; government participation in the investments; prices for APG liberalized
Gas Processing Plants and GFUs (Gas Fractionation
Units)Shortage of capacities
Exemptions from VAT and customs duties on the equipment imported; government participation in the investments; prices for LHCG liberalized
Transport of broad fractions of light hydrocarbons,
liquefied hydrocarbon gases
Shortage of capacities (loading racks, stations)
Encouragement of investments; government participation in the investments
Gas transmission network, main gas pipeline
Limited capacity of areas critical for dry gas sale
Ensuring priority access of dry gas to the gas transmission network; encouraging investments to the gas transmission network capacity expansions
Following approach can be utilized to attract funds for comprehensive programs of APG use and processing :
Oil companies and Russian Federation territorial subdivisions jointly invest into APG pipelines;
Gas and chemical companies and federal center (e.g., within Federal Target Program) invest to create infrastructure for the sales of Gas processing plant products (filling racks, pipelines for dry gas and broad fractions);
All parties have a share of profits (from the sales under the entire program) proportional to contributed investments.
