Belarus plans to evaluate the cost of its largest pipeline company, Beltransgaz, in October as Russian state natural gas monopoly Gazprom seeks a 50 percent stake in the company, Belarusian First Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Semashko said Aug. 29. Gazprom has said the new price for natural gas supplied to Belarus would depend upon Belarus' offer for Beltransgaz or the Mozyr oil refinery. The price Belarus pays for natural gas has not changed from $46.68 per 1,000 cubic meters since 2004. Russia recently has sought a price between $180 to $200 per 1,000 cubic meters.
