Oxford Energy Podcast
In this Oxford Energy Podcast David Ledesma interviews James Henderson, the Director of the Gas Programme at OIES, about his recent paper on developments at the Gas Exchange in St. Petersburg. Written in collaboration with Tatiana Mitrova at the Skolkovo Energy Centre in Moscow, the paper looks at the history of gas trading in Russia, the current state of the Exchange in St. Petersburg and the challenges facing SPIMEX as it seeks to develop a fully liquid trading hub. The outcome, it would seem, is fairly binary – either the exchange will catalyse significant change in the Russian gas sector, or it could fade into obscurity.
