Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets .com/reports/ c20399) has announced the addition of New Hopes Pinned to Russian Energy Production and Consumption (2005-2006) to their offering

The market research report "New hopes pinned to Russian Energy Production and Consumption (2005-2006)" provides an in-depth analysis of the energy production, consumption, exports, trends, and future forecasts. In recent years, Russia has emerged as a reigning oil producer by supplying about 2.5 million barrels a day in 1960 to about 8 million barrels a day in 2004-2005. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates high energy production potential from Russia, together with the other states like Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and others that are near the Caspian Basin.

The western world has realized the importance of Russia in world oil supplies. They have started looking beyond the oil supplies from Middle East and the Persian Gulf. The global dominance of oil production from Saudi Arabia is now being challenged by Russia. Some experts show apprehension in accepting Russia as a significant supplier of energy to the world market. But, records for 2004 show phenomenal growth in oil production and consumption in Russia at 750,000 bpd. Russia has emerged as a new hope to the Western countries for energy supplies.

The International Energy Agency estimates the dependency of the European Union on Russia for imported oil for about 94% of its total needs by 2030 and for gas import by 81%. The report analyzes Moscow's willingness to cooperate with the Caspian region for coming up with newer pipelines. The report also mentions the statistical data on production, demand, and exports of the energy.
