Russian and Caspian Energy Developments (RUSSCASP)

RUSSCASP is a publicly funded research program aimed at producing knowledge on long-term Russian and Caspian oil & gas developments.

RUSSCASP focuses on three strategically important issue clusters:
   Russia and the Caspian region as arenas for foreign energy companies.
  Driving forces and conditions for Russian and Caspian energy exports.
  Energy developments in the Russian high north.

RUSSCASP is executed by a consortium consisting of three Norway-based research institutions, and most of the results produced within the programme are made available to the public on this website.
