Petar Petrov Intellectual Leader in Energy Geopolitics | Strategic Analysis on Oil, Gas & Sanctions | Building a Balkan Energy Union Narrative | Advisor to Decision-Makers

I work at the intersection of energy markets and power politics—where decisions are rarely technical, and always strategic. My focus is the evolving energy security architecture of Europe and Southeast Europe: sanctions, Russian export logistics, LNG market shifts, infrastructure constraints, and regional diplomacy. I publish analysis and advise decision-makers who need more than headlines—they ne

ed coherent scenarios. My edge is synthesis: turning fragmented signals into a structured outlook. My direction for 2026: shaping a credible narrative for a Balkan Energy Union built on security of supply, market realism, and institutional coordination. Open to: advisory work, research collaborations, expert panels, and strategic partnerships.
