Perhaps less for a while. Negative side-effect: Increased dependence on PG oil. Permanent military presence. ”Worst case” Long lasting conflict that spreads throughout the area. New fundamentalist regimes in several countries, coup in Saudi-Arabia, the Strait of Hormuz becomes an area of war, considerable destruction of oil installations, terror attacks around the world. Oil prices unstable around 35-60 $/bbl, hikes up to 50-90 $/bbl. Long term: SPRs becomes too small -> even higher prices. Positive side-effect: Increased energy diversification, more oil from other places, increased conservation.

PGNiG ønsker å føre gass fra norsk sokkel gjennom Skanled til Danmark, for deretter å bygge en egen rørledning fra Danmark til Polen. PGNiG kjøpte nylig en 15 prosent eierandel i Skarv-lisensen i Norskehavet. Også det store tyske gasselskapet E.ON Ruhrgas vurderer å ta del i Skanled. • Skanled planlegger investeringsbeslutning i 2009 og oppstart av gassleveranser i 2012. Anslått investering for Skanled er 7 milliarder kroner. Det planlegges også å bygge et separasjonsanlegg for etan i Grenland i tilknytning til transportsystemet. Separasjonsanlegget har et investeringsanslag på 2 milliarder kroner. Gassco har sammen med brukerne etablert en arbeidsgruppe for å lage en forretningsmodell og sikre finansiering av anlegget, etter anmodning fra Olje og energidepartementet.
