Great East Energy's Position Strengthens in Ukraine With Russia's
Threat to End Discounted Natural Gas
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Mar 13, 2014) - Great East Energy,
Inc. (OTCQB: GASE) and companies like Royal Dutch Shell and Chevron
are welcomed entities in Ukraine these days. As the crisis
continues to play itself out between Ukraine and Russia through its
state-owned gas company, Gazprom, Great East Energy's assets in
Ukraine seem to be gaining in value and the company's position
there is strengthening as well. And, it all starts with its
estimated gross total reserves of 47 billion cubic feet (BCF) of
natural gas in its 162-square mile licensed area.
These reserves are likely to return a great deal of revenue to
the company as it produces and sells that natural gas to its
customers, but Great East Energy's revenue could be greatly
enhanced if Ukraine is forced to pay much higher prices for natural
gas coming from Gazprom. The Russian gas company has
threatened to raise the price it charges Ukraine for its gas from
$7.70 to around $11.50 per 1,000 cubic feet.
This dramatic rise in price gives Great East Energy, Royal Dutch
Shell, Chevron and others a strong hand to play as these companies
begin to introduce more capital, technology and industry knowledge
to produce more natural gas. Gazprom supplies more than half
of the gas Ukraine uses each year, but as the country moves toward
energy self-sufficiency from Russia, it will look to these new
companies to supply it with much needed gas in an effort to push
Russia and higher prices away.
With Great East Energy's estimated reserves, it could join other
companies to supply Ukraine some of that shortfall at its current
discount from Gazprom, and generate almost $362 million. The
company could supply gas closer to the high end of the scale, and
match Gazprom's threatened prices and generate over $540
million.
So, as Royal Dutch Shell pours in over $400 million to explore
its assets there, Great East Energy can continue to produce as it
has since 2003 in its own licensed area right next door to Shell's
property. But, in a country with an estimated 40 trillion
cubic feet of recoverable shale gas or enough to satisfy the
country's demand for decades, Great East Energy will do so with an
eye on the price of natural gas from Russia.
