Following disruptions to gas supplies from Russia over two winters, Europe is demanding better guarantees of energy security from Moscow. It also wants to reduce its reliance on Kremlin controlled sources, getting its gas from more countries. The state dominated Russian energy giant Gazprom is sceptical about that effort. In an exclusive interview, the Deputy Chairman and head of Gazprom's export division, Alexander Medvedev, told EuroNews that Europe will actually use more Russian gas in the future as it is vital to the region's economic competitiveness.

FRONTLINE/WORLD | RUSSIA: Island on the Edge | PBS
A rough, new energy frontier
In this installment of FRONTLINE/World's Rough-Cut series, Nick Guroff explores the remote Sakhalin Island, what international oilmen might call a "hardship post." It is on the very edge of the Russian Far East, the historic equivalent of America's Wild West. The narrow, 600-mile-long island is populated by only half a million people, and its seasons are severe even by Russian standards.
But underneath the surface of the island and the surrounding seas is enough oil and gas to power the United States for as much as a decade.

Energy 2007: The New Era of Petropolitics
Increased competition over access to oil and natural gas is reshaping the geopolitical landscape, strengthening the diplomatic influence of oil exporters.
1) How is competition for access to oil and gas reshaping international relations?
2) Is growing demand from India and China creating structural changes in the oil markets? If so, what are the economic and security implications?
3) Does the power derived from oil endure or will it rise and fall with the price of crude?
