Research Programme

Russian and Caspian Energy Developments (RUSSCASP)

2007 - 2013 (Completed) Project number: 185317/S20

RUSSCASP aims to examine driving forces shaping Russian and Caspian energy exports, energy developments in the High North and the potential role of foreign energy companies in these regions.

Russian and Caspian energy is a source of opportunity and risk for policy makers and businesspeople across the globe, not least in Norway, both a neighbour to Russia and a key player in the same industry – oil and gas.

The research programme, RUSSCASP, aims to expand understandings of the long-term outlook for three issue clusters of strategic relevance for Norway:

  1. Russia and the Caspian region as arenas for foreign energy companies;
  2. Driving forces and conditions for Russian and Caspian energy exports; and
  3. Energy developments in the High North.
