Abstract
The subject of the study is the consideration of the possibility of creating Russia's own LNG price hub. Global pricing for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is characterized by a hybrid approach – it combines binding to oil products and price indices at gas hubs. However, formula pricing with binding to quotations at global gas hubs currently prevails. Russia, as the largest LNG producer, is also forced to follow this trend, and thus depend on the prices of foreign hubs when implementing gas exports. The creation of our own price hub would improve Russian LNG export channels and influence global pricing, maximizing the profits of domestic producers. The study is based on the use of methods of analysis and synthesis, statistical and factor analysis. In the first part, the author examines the experience of European and American companies in the creation and operation of price gas hubs, assesses their role and identifies the conditions for their successful development. The second part is devoted to the creation and development of an LNG price hub in Russia, an analysis of the competitiveness of Russian LNG supplies to the Asian market, and consideration of possible challenges in the implementation of such a project. The conclusions present the conditions for the formation of a price gas hub based on the experience of foreign companies and countries and the challenges in implementing this project in Russia. In addition, as a preliminary stage of ensuring the hub's activities, an initiative to create an electronic auction platform for LNG trading is presented and calculations are given to determine the marginality of spot sales from the Far East as part of trading on the auction platform.
