Oil & Gas

The INOGATE Programme traditionally stood for Interstate Oil and Gas Transport to Europe, aiming at promoting the regional integration of the pipeline systems and facilitating the transport of oil and gas both within the greater NIS region and towards the export markets of Europe.

Although INOGATE has expanded to work in other energy sectors, the oil and gas sector continues to be a core energy sector of the programme with numerous ongoing projects.

This section of the INOGATE web portal provides information related to the oil & gas sector through presenting a series of links to relevant studies, reports, position papers, market reviews, working documents, etc.Links are to PDF documents unless otherwise specified.
