Summary/Abstract: Energy resources control generates power and political influence around the globe. The situation is unavoidable, so, over time, there have been many cases where different "links" involved in the games around these resources have triggered disputes and energy crises, which often have significant economic and political disastrous effects on local, regional and even global level. Without power the entire industrialized world can reach collapse and therefore the infrastructure in agriculture, transport, information technology, communications and other vital sectors should be supported with constant streams of energy. Any "short circuit" in the global energy markets and networks are a major threat and that is why energy security is an important component of the national security strategies and foreign policy. Under these conditions, the energy was and is often used as an instrument of political, economic, military pressure, etc., in order to achieve some strategic advantages on an increasingly complex and dynamic scene of international relations. Often confrontations between competitors were employed indirectly, great actors must comply, more or less formal, the rights of states to exploit hydrocarbons independently.
