European gas storage: backhaul helps open the Ukrainian safety valve

The European gas market is oversupplied, with demand down due to Covid-19. Storage facilities are filling up and Ukrainian companies are offering the country's huge storage capacity to European traders. With "virtual reverse flow" now in place, it's working well. An Oxford Energy Comment by my colleague Jack Sharples and me.

Welcome

I am a researcher, writer and lecturer, and author of Burning Up: A Global History of Fossil Fuel Consumption (Pluto Press, 2018).

My earlier work as a historian and energy researcher was focused on Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet countries. My book The Russian Revolution in Retreat 1920-24: Soviet workers and the new communist elite (Routledge, 2008) was a study of working-class political history. Another book, Change in Putin’s Russia: Power, Money and People (Pluto Press, 2010) was based on my work as a journalist.

I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, and (from June 2020) Honorary Professor in the School of Modern Languages & Cultures at the University of Durham.

I have worked on the Natural Gas Research Programme at OIES since 2007. I edited and contributed to two multi-author books on natural gas markets in the former Soviet Union, and wrote a series of papers on the Ukrainian gas sector; on natural gas consumption across the FSU; and on natural gas in the Caspian region.
