If $45/b is correct thats a bloody great forward price as most investment banks have an average price if 55 for 2016 and 62 for 2017. Dont forget future oil price contracts are much higher than current prices.
"Or I simply think that PiS are very much in the act of supporting Russia through unfavourable contracts. " wow there's a conspiracy theory. we will have to see if any backhanders come to light in the future.
delphiandomine : I'm asking for the price per barrel, not some random article that doesn't give such facts
The article linked by Grzegorz clearly states that:
as Energetyka24.com found out, the document also assumes implementation of a special discount provided by the Russians

Russians are in no position to make demands, just look at the rouble. Poland has got a good deal. As I said future prices are alway higher and when demands picks up in the next couple of years, future prices will be $60-80. Eitherway, it makes sense to do deals when there is a glut of oil and global demand low as it will eventually pick up and when it does, the pricewill rise quickly given falling investment and rigs opertaional. As a side point, with low oil prices, USA hits two birds with one stone, Russia and the Saudis.
New Polish government attempts to far better balance between global powers then the previous one. It means that new government have Polish interests on its heart. Its not only smart but also brave.

God, what they done to my country, in the middle of Europe, just to make them profit

Future prices are always higher versus current. As the future month draws nearer so does the price move lower towards the current price, until the future price becomes the current month. That is the cost of holding a future month contract.
pweeg : Absolutely not, they are guess work. Future prices can be lower than now, look at the situation with oil.
Not quite, there exist some mathematical methods for trend prediction with some probability and economists apply such statistical techniques in predicting future economic trends. So it is not a random guess . Anyway, I suspect that future contracts are a wide spread practice in the world.
