Good work J, as usual finding the gold nuggets among the media dross.

I have a question which is somewhat related. What is the average fraction of the EU gas consumption that is imported from Russia? 25 %? 50 %? What if we're talking about all of Europe instead of just the EU?

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Russia provides roughly 20% of Europe's consumption. In terms of imports, the numbers are very different depending on where you count Norway (in Europe but outside the EU) which provides a similar chunk of European consumption.

But with UK and, in a few years, Dutch production declining, and Norway's production likely to reach a plateau in a few years, and consumption growing, everybody expects Russia's share of the market to grow. The question is how much production there will increase (and how much of that will be taken by rising domestic demand).

In this 20 % definition of Europe, is the Ukraine and European Russia themselves included? Or just the EU nations minus Norway?

in that case excludes Ukraine and Russia. Counting Ukraine would substantially change the statistics (note that Russia doesn't count deliveries to Ukraine as "exports to Europe" either - it's in an intermediate category).
