Gazprom Offers to Buy All of Libya’s Gas By REUTERS

The Russian gas export monopoly Gazprom wants to buy any available natural gas produced by Libya and some of the country’s oil, the top Libyan oil official said on Wednesday.

Gazprom’s latest bid to strengthen its grip on gas supplies around Europe comes as no surprise, said David Cox, the president of Poyry Energy Consulting.

I'm surprised Norway hasn't tried to do the same thing--Norway is a HUGE natural gas producer and they too can cause Europe no end of grief by cutting off natural gas deliveries from Norwegian gas fields.
