Abstract

In the past few years the idea of a potential cartel in the natural gas market has emerged and was hyped in the media. Recently, the main producing countries under the leadership of Russia have built a formalized organisation to strengthen cooperation. Since then, regular meetings of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) have taken place. Especially in Europe, where import dependency will rise within the next decades, the stronger coordination has amplified the already existing fears of collusive behaviour. A closer look, however, reveals numerous obstacles that make a full-fledged cartel controlling prices by setting production quotas rather improbable at this time. Nevertheless, producers’ attempt for more coordination should not be ignored.
