Central Asia and Caucasus Energy

Abstract

THE CASPIAN SEA AND ITS NEIGHBORS -- Defining the Energy Context * Five littoral energy-producing countries: Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan. Uzbekistan: secondary, doubly-landlocked energy producer. Georgia: key transit country, now and perhaps in future, if Nabucco project moves forward. Tensions exist...but markets trump militarism: Energy issues unlikely to lead to conflict between states * Oil is a world market, natural gas fast becoming one, market forces rule * Weak price environment to 2012 and perhaps beyond.
