საქართველო-ირანის ეკონომიკური ურთიერთობები: რეგიონული სანედლეულო ბაზრის განვითარების პერსპექტივები

In the modern world, energy consumption increases annually. In 2018 share of oil
and gas consumption is 58% of world energy consumption. Two historic events refer to gas:
in 2006 and 2009 Russia limited gas supply to EU, and that caused energy, economic and
political tension. Russia used gas for political goals, which makes problem actual.
In research the following detected following new findings and innovations were
identified:
➢ Based on national and international publications and statistical data we have
calculated that in 2018 the term of ensured oil production in Iran was 97 years,
whereas in Russia and Azerbaijan - 26-26 years only; In 2018 ensured gas production
in Iran was 133 years, while in Russia and Azerbaijan – 58 and 112 years,
correspondingly;
➢ EU has a permanent negative balance of oil and gas consumption vs production; thus,
EU has to import 490-550 million tons of oil and 300-400 billion m3 of gas;
➢ In case of Iran-EU partnership, the transit role and commodity market importance of
Georgia will increase.
The target of the thesis is discussion of Iranian oil and gas importance for EU markets
and assessment importance of eventual role of Georgia as a commodity distribution hub.
That’s why the following goals were set up to analyze:
➢ Thorough analysis of the national and the international literature on world energy
consumption, especially of hydrocarbons;
➢ Processing of the statistical data on the world energy, especially hydrocarbons
including analysis of reserves, productions, consumptions, exports, imports and
existing deficit;
v
➢ Discussion of eventual Iran-EU partnership on oil and gas markets;
➢ Essay on historical and future Georgia-Iran partnership of in energy and economic
sectors.
