Gas: the problems begin. Gazprom drops gas delivery through Nord Stream 1 by 40% due to German “non-repairs”
Russian company Gazprom said Tuesday that the ability to supply gas to Europe through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline is limited due to delays in repair work, limiting Russian gas supplies through another major Reuters report. route to Europe. Especially Germany will be affected, as it had to fill its deposits.
Gazprom no longer exports gas westbound via Poland via the Yamal-Europe pipeline, following Russian sanctions against EuRoPol Gaz, which owns the Polish section. Flows through Yamal-Europe continue east, from Germany to Poland.
Separately, last month, Ukraine suspended Russian gas flows through one of two transit points to Europe, cutting off a third of Russian gas that is piped to Europe via Ukraine.
Gazprom said on Tuesday it had limited supplies through the Nord Stream 1 underwater pipeline to Germany to 100 million cubic meters (mcm) per day, from 167 mcm, as Siemens delayed the return of equipment that had been sent for the repair. This is a 40% reduction in shipments via this important pipeline.
“Due to the delay in returning the gas compressor units from repair by Siemens… and the technical malfunctions of the engines, only three gas compressor units can currently be used at the Portovaya compressor station,” Gazprom said.
It was not immediately clear from Gazprom's statement whether it was Siemens AG that delayed the repair work or whether it was Siemens Energy, from which the German company was spun off a few years ago while maintaining a 35% stake.
At the moment, European supplies from Russia are tied to a thread, namely a Ukrainian transit point and a Russian-German point in difficulty. The prices on the TTF will be significantly affected, even from a speculative point of view.
