OIL SUPPLY SECURITY IN CROATIA

Zbivanja na globalnom energetskom tržištu, porast tržišne nestabilnosti i sve veća uloga geopolitike u opskrbi energijom, kontinuirano utječu na energetsku sigurnost koja predstavlja glavni postulat energetske politike, ali ujedno i kriterij njezine uspješnosti. Osiguranje nesmetane opskrbe naftom i plinom osnovna je zadaća svake nacionalne energetske politike. Mogućnosti i uvjeti dobave primarnih izvora energije, među kojima su nafta i prirodni plin daleko najvažniji energenti s obzirom na njihov udio u potrošnji energije, te s obzirom na njihovu stratešku važnost, predstavljaju temelj za osiguravanje sigurnosti opskrbe naftom i prirodnim plinom u sklopu nacionalne energetike. Sigurnost opskrbe naftom u Hrvatskoj je usmjerena na utvrđivanje kritične energetske infrastrukture sa stajališta energetske sigurnosti, zatim na kreiranje sustava za kontinuirano analiziranje i praćenje sigurnosti opskrbe naftom, reagiranje u slučajevima kritične opskrbe te razradu mjera za sprječavanje i amortizaciju u situacijama ugroženosti energetske sigurnosti.The occurrences on the global energy market, increased market instability and the increasingly significant role of geopolitics in energy supply, continually impact the energy supply security which represents the main postulate of the energy politics, as well as a criterion of its successfulness. Assurance of an uninterrupted oil and gas supply is the basic task of each national energy policy. Possibilities and conditions of the supply of primary energy sources, among which oil and natural gas are by far the most important energy sources in relation to their share in energy consumption, and as regards their strategic importance, these represent the basis for assurance of oil and natural gas supply security within the national energy supply. Oil supply security in Croatia is directed towards determining the critical energy supply infrastructure from the viewpoint of energy supply security, towards creating a system for continued oil supply security analysis and monitoring, acting in critical supply situations and towards an elaboration of measures for prevention and amortization in cases of endangerment of energy supply security
