"The Quest" continues the riveting story Daniel Yergin began

twenty years ago with his No.1 International Bestseller "The

Prize", revealing the on-going quest to meet the world's energy

needs - and the power and riches that come with it. A master story

teller as well as our most expert analyst, Yergin proves that

energy is truly the engine of global political and economic change.

From the jammed streets of Beijing, the shores of the Caspian Sea,

and the conflicts in the Middle East, to Capitol Hill and Silicon

Valley, Yergin tells the inside stories of the oil market, the rise

of the 'petrostate', the race to control the resources of the

former Soviet empire, and the massive corporate mergers that have

transformed the oil landscape. He shows how the drama of oil - the

struggle for access to it, the battle for control, the insecurity

of supply, its impact on the global economy, and the geopolitics

that dominate it - will continue to shape our world. And he takes

on the toughest questions: will we run out; are China and the

United States destined for conflict; what of climate change? Yergin

also reveals the surprising and turbulent histories of nuclear,

coal, and natural gas, and investigates the 'rebirth of renewables'

- biofuels, wind, and solar energy - showing how understanding this

greening landscape and its future role are crucial to the needs of

a growing world economy. "The Quest" presents an extraordinary

range of characters and dramatic stories to illustrate the

principles that will shape our energy security system for the

decades to come. It is essential reading.

1995年，俄罗斯政府急需资金。为解燃眉之急，叶利钦政府和一些新兴商人联合推出了一项名为“贷转股”的计划。通过这项计划，商人把钱贷给俄罗斯政府，并以极低的价格获得石油及其他公司的股票作为抵押。一旦政府在贷款上违约，这部分股权则变成放款人的财产，放款的商人于是就会获得这些新公司的控制权；政府则靠着获得的短期资金，保持其在1996年“总统大选”之前的正常运转。如此的资产私有化形式实非同寻常。

关于谁最终将拥有这些资源以及控制资源带来的财富，俄罗斯人内部也许有不同意见，但是有一点他们都同意，那就是这个人不该是外国人。

2000年，在普京当选俄罗斯总统的时候，尤科斯掌门人米哈伊尔·霍多尔科夫斯基也即将成为俄罗斯最富有的人。

霍多尔科夫斯基在政治上的花费也广为人知。

霍多尔科夫斯基还让外界周知，他准备花钱把俄罗斯从一个总统制的国家变成一个议会制的国家。言外之意就是他意图成为俄罗斯总理，而卖掉尤科斯部分资产可以给他带来几十亿美元的竞选资金。

2003年10月25日凌晨5点，俄罗斯联邦安全局特工冲上飞机逮捕了他。2005年春天，经过漫长的审判，霍多尔科夫斯基以偷漏税款被判有罪，随后被丢进了一所遥远的、与世隔绝的西伯利亚监狱。2011年，法院以侵占公款罪对其进行了二次审判，霍多尔科夫斯基被判有罪，刑期延长。

至于尤科斯，如今已经风光不再。公司被拆解，尤科斯已名存实亡，并被俄罗斯石油公司收购。

当21世纪进入第二个十年，俄罗斯作为一个产油国，实现了真正意义上的回归。

总体而言，俄罗斯再一次成为实际上最大的石油生产国，以及第二大石油出口国。

石油和天然气也是俄罗斯本国经济发展的引擎。正如普京在1999年发表的论文中所述，这些资源的确是俄罗斯经济恢复及发展的发动机，也是俄罗斯财政收入的第一来源。高油价意味着将会有更多的钱财流向这个国家的国库。

然而，对石油和天然气的严重依赖激发了俄罗斯国内的辩论，俄罗斯人认为国家过于依赖能源这一个汗液，俄罗斯需要实现现代化，而“现代化”的其中一个要义就是实现除油气以外的能源多元化。但是，没有经济、法律和政府解耦的整体改革，以及创业文化的培育，现代化则很难实现。

2011年8月，俄罗斯石油公司宣布将和埃克森美孚公司展开全面合作，双方在2012年3月正式签署协议。

两大公司将共同开发北冰洋喀拉海海域内三个潜在的巨大资源块——总面积相当于北海油田和墨西哥湾内所有租用区块的综合。

北极项目属于典型的长期开发项目。究竟有多少石油和天然气，谁也说不准。正是投产最早要哦等到2022年。

苏联已经不复存在，然而，俄罗斯人的利益还在。

苏维埃解体后，俄罗斯人立即对外宣称这些新建立的国家属于一个新的设想区，即“近国外”，并企图重建对这些国家的主导地位。

对于美国和英国，新独立国家的政权巩固是后冷战时期的一项未尽事宜，也是维护一个全新的、更加和平的世界秩序的必然要求。这也是新独立国家实现关于民族自决的“威尔逊梦想”的一个机会。在美国人和英国人眼里，俄罗斯在该地区建立专属势力范围将会是危险和不稳定的。除此以外，还存在伊朗趁虚而入的风险。

假如里海地区能偶像第一次世界大战之前那样重新融入世界能源工业，而该地区新的大规模石油储量能够被输送到国际市场的话，世界石油供应渠道多元化则往前迈进了一大步。这也是对全球能源安全的一个最重要的贡献。需要防止发生的另外一种局面——这些资源再次落到俄罗斯手里，或者更糟的是，被伊朗控制。
