EUGAL: North Stream-2's younger brother and the last nail in the lid of an American gas coffin

69


12 February 2018 of the German National Gas Transmission System Operators Association FNB Gas has announced the inclusion of the European Gas Pipeline Link (EUGAL) gas pipeline connecting the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and the gas hub in Olbernhau, located on the German-Czech border, into the German development plan gas network on 2018-2028



What is EUGAL

The operator of the gas pipeline will be Gascade Gastransport, owned by Russian Gazprom and Wintershall, which will receive 50,5%. The junior construction partners will be German Fluxys Deutschland, Gasunie Deutschland Transport Services and Ontras Gastransport, which will own the 16,5% of the new “pipe”.

Actually, the construction itself, which will cost 7 billion euros, is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2018. The gas pipeline length of 485 km will run parallel to the OPAL gas pipeline and will have a throughput of 55 billion cubic meters, that is exactly as much as the new Russian gas pipeline through the Baltic Sea that prevents Washington and Kiev from pumping into the German gas transmission system.

EUGAL: North Stream-2's younger brother and the last nail in the lid of an American gas coffin


As we see, all of the Russian and German partners in this scheme are interconnected. Actually, both gas pipelines will be constructed almost simultaneously, and their launches should be fully synchronized in time.

Thus, Germany not only draws a line under the discussion of whether or not Nord Stream-2 will be built, but also shows all its neighbors and opponents that this decision is final and not subject to appeal.

In fact, the construction of a new gas pipeline has in fact already begun, since the first batch of pipes for it has already been shipped and delivered to storage sites in years. Lubmin, Dregeheide and Prenzlau.

Is it any wonder that, despite the seemingly anti-Russian rhetoric of Angela Merkel, the German side turned on the non-switching “green light” of the second part of the “Nord Stream”. Its operator, Nord Stream 2 AG, in November 2017, was given permission to work in the area of ​​Germany’s continental shelf. Further, at the end of January 2018, a permit was issued for the construction and operation of the offshore part of the Nord Stream-2 in the territorial waters of Germany, as well as in the land section of the gas pipeline in the Lubmin region near Greifswald.

This can put a big and fat point on stories gas confrontation between the US and the USSR / Russia and the energy war for the redistribution of the gas market in Europe ...

The redistribution of the gas market in Europe - a geopolitical issue



Gas is a convenient and environmentally friendly type of fuel and raw materials. The development of routes for its supply to the European market has always been a matter of changing the geopolitical influence of certain players. The construction of the first trans-European gas pipeline from the USSR to Western Europe, Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod, was one of the main reasons for the sharp exacerbation of relations between Moscow, Washington and Berlin in the late 1970-x and early 1980-x. The Americans understood perfectly well that by launching “Russian gas” into Europe, they would lose some of their influence over it.

Today, nothing has changed in these geopolitical alignments. It is the degree of dependence of European countries on oil and gas supplies that shows how loyal allies of Washington will be their European partners. As we see today, in relations between Europe and the USA, not everything is rosy and this is partly due to the fact that, despite the collapse of the USSR and the temporary weakening of its position, Moscow was able to win the battle for Washington over the European energy market.

Washington loses to Russia

In the 1990 of the United States it seemed that a little bit more, and Russia would be finally destroyed and its wealth would be at their complete disposal. But by the middle of the 2000-s it became clear that these dreams were not destined to come true and the States needed to prepare for a new confrontation with this recalcitrant fragment of a great country.



Initially, the problem did not seem difficult. The baseline for the attack on Russia was excellent. Moscow has not yet recovered from the consequences of the last Russian distemper, and it was a trivial task to straddle the transit routes of Russian energy resources to Europe.

The first Ukrainian Maidan, as we understand it, quite “accidentally” coincided with the start of the American attack on Gazprom’s European positions. Washington set the goal of at least halving (from 21% to about 10%) the presence of a Russian gas monopolist in the European market. We will not describe once again the vicissitudes of this titanic struggle. In summary, what seemed easy in the 2004 year was not only impracticable, but also marked the beginning of the collapse of Russia's entire containment strategy in Europe.

Today, after 13 years after the opening of hostilities against Russian gas, Gazprom controls 35-36% of the European gas market (instead of 21%) and seriously set out to take the 40% bar in the future. And this is a rout. The defeat of America and the important stage in building Greater Eurasia, this most dreadful dream of any American politician - from Barack Obama to Donald Trump.

    Even if everything is so rosy, I don’t see a reason for joy for the bulk of the population of the Russian Federation, just the oligarchs will become even “a little bit” richer, and specifically Russia will not have anything from this and will continue this way until the constitution item on mineral resources returns.

      Frank delirium why write? If everything was the way you write, inside Russia no one would notice changes from the fall in oil and gas prices in 2014. And Nord Stream-2 simply excludes Ukraine and Poland from transit. That is the whole reason for their howling about it.

            I also do not see any reason to rejoice at the next gas pipeline / oil pipeline in the EU. My medium-pressure gas pipeline runs 900 meters from the site. Connecting to it costs somewhere from 750 thousand rubles and above, and that if at least 12 sites are typed. This is the average price in the region: design, approval, approval, installation, insert, interior design, boiler, boiler design, ventilation project, etc. And pay for everything, pay, pay ... I would generally tax the sale of gas and oil abroad with gigantic duties. But oil / gas processing products would provide the most favorable conditions for export. And then all of our near-power oligarchy stuck like a vampire to the bowels and pumps and sells, pumps and sells. And the state receives taxes from this, which are directly sent to the United States, buying American debt on them. Neither industry is developing, nor production. Only officials, their relatives and the oil business are swollen with money - they have already bought all the real estate in Miami and London ... Therefore, it seems to me that these enthusiastic fairy tales of the Vienna forest "about the pipe", which is filled with RuNet, are ordered by Gazprom or Rosneft))

              Tell me - if a light bulb burns out in your house, is Putin personally to blame for the lack of light?
              Now, if it’s so expensive to make a connection in our region, it may not be Miller’s own fault, but local ghouls from the distribution, who also allow Thieves and Corruptionists to distribute wiring through “pocket” firms. Also, it is very interesting what the actual cost of such a connection is, although they will not tell this under any torture. Unfortunately, "natural monopolies" still remain the "unshakable islands" of "shovels" in the worst sense of the term. They continue to look at people as "what are you pecking at" instead of the market "we are glad to see a new buyer." And the problem here is the same - the Tops are engaged in strategic tasks, here they are “winning” in the World Gas, Oil, Electric and Uranium Wars, and “on the ground” are such analogues of the “ensigns Shmatko” - they spoil people's lives and thereby spoil the image of the whole huge Company .
              It is also necessary to separate - a) bards on the ground and b) "uselessness to sell resources." If I described the first point above, then with the second - well, you can’t be on this site and so “not smart”. Many times here they wrote that - if you leave the market, then others will immediately come to your place. If Russia begins to sell more on the domestic gas market and less on the external, then we will simply lose income from sales over the hill, and this is much more than inside. If you do not believe it, then try to find at least one example that Western companies would tremble to get the right to sell gas inside Russia! This has never happened, ALL they want to export. Why - because it’s more expensive.
              No, I’m not an apologist for "let's sell only resources," but let's face it - will the EU buy its processed products instead of gas itself and will it close its gas processing plants? The answer is obvious - NO, they will buy gas from others and, in retaliation and for protectionism, will not let our plastics go.
              Therefore, it is necessary to do both actions at once - to sell both Gas and Processing. good That they themselves greed would require to buy "cheap Russian plastics and petroleum products." feel good

                You have written so much, and everything is not the case.
                1) The company is Mosoblgaz JSC, and not the "pocket firms" that you invented. Do not own the question - do not write incompetent lengthy comments.
                2) To sell products and the result of processing of raw materials is the right decision. Sell ​​gas / oil / roundwood / etc. Raw materials are the destiny of economies and gas stations. I want for my country a strong, knowledge-based and developed competitive economy. You want a gas station country. That is the difference.
                3) Maxim about Putin and a blown out bulb from your training manual, are you creative?

                  I insist - you need to understand the voiced connection price. Because it’s impossible to argue that it’s expensive or cheap. You need to see the cost of the work, what is changing there and yes you can’t do without a project, you’ve already "done" that the water parks are falling from the "cunning" architectural solutions and the bridges are "dancing", and the Project is the name of the one whom it will be possible to REALLY HAVE a tragedy. Here is the fact that instead of all kinds of gazmyas with bentonids and blowing their nose in 5000 bills, Gazprom should direct money to reduce (for example) the connection, at least for the idea of ​​"expanding domestic demand for products." good
                  2) Once again - the United States does not simply force the EU to refuse to buy Russian gas through the Kama Sutra, it is precisely what they want to force them to buy their own !! That is, the Dermokatia deposit - is there a backward gas station country, or is selling energy resources still a more modern and worthy way to conduct the economy?
                  Well, let me give you an "analogy" - here you are or your spouse buys products in the store and then prepares food for you, but the store owner "understands that he is losing money" and refuses to sell you more products, but offers to buy cooked from these Food products and of course much more expensive !! Do you like it, do you agree to this, or having a choice - buy products in another store? fool The same is with oil and gas - if some stupid person refuses to sell, then his place with joy is taken by competitors !!
                  3) Yes, it can be said that “Putin is to blame” for the fact that in our city they litter some places, roads are bad, yes, yes, he is “to blame” for not reviving SMERSH, the NKVD and “10 for being late for work”. For then the roads would be good, and the connection to the gas would be a gift (not kidding) and much more. Just again, there would be hundreds of thousands in the camps or shot, again would come "black craters" at night "for a joke" and much more from the then "happiness". And you can blame - it’s a local measure, his loyal deputy deputies, bosses and specific people who litter, teenagers - beating lanterns and breaking benches.

            There is gas in Khabarovsk, it is partially present in the Khabarovsk Territory, in some cities in the Far East they have not seen gas since the collapse of the Union, for example, gas discovery is very rare and only in cylinders of 50 liters (11 cubic meters) costs about 6000 rubles ( more than $ 10000 per cube). In the neighboring town of Partizansk, gas cannot even be bought for that kind of money ... etc.

            Those tariffs may work for Khabarovsk, but I repeat once again that there is no gas in other cities, all city storages from the 90s are empty (gas is not supplied to gasified houses) ... there are a shortage of gas cylinders, you can’t even buy them for 6000 rubles , it is necessary to conclude an enslaving agreement, which even at sky-high prices is unprofitable ...

            But judging by the latest events (I mean the stop of a truck with equipment from Poland), they really are right now, these USA are like a bone in the throat.

            It’s natural, as Napoleon said, “feeding someone else’s army is more expensive.” Here is whether they have enough strength, desire and ability to overcome this situation.

          Well, the first thing that comes to mind is the question of sanctions. Or rather, that Germany is openly opposing. It’s not just opposing, but actually continuing to do business with us. The gas pipeline has not yet been built, and we already have a “lobby” represented by the main European player.

          Quietly, with the help of Germany we’ll “squeeze” the rest of Europe

              Well, how does it not refuse ?! Are pipes for the Nord Stream not produced in Germany, for example?
              And the very fact of a “political” decision, doesn’t this mean anything ?!
              In my opinion, this decision is the very “refusal.” And all kinds of prohibitions on “irons, spare parts, etc.” are just “politics” and chatter, which Russia, I apologize, put down from a large bell tower.

        "Ancient treaties, like NATO," outweigh the rest. Especially when the US bases are on your territory, and Germany itself is one of the countries that proposed to impose sanctions against us and was not at all going to lift them. So it’s too early to declare help.

          Of course it’s early. Everything is just beginning. I’m kind of “don’t throw up bonnets” laughing

          But the principle path has been chosen. Germany is tied to Russia. And this is a fact. And the United States also understands this.
          Let's see how Germany will resolve this in the future.

          In addition to the "pluses" add my "3 pennies."
          Nobody writes, they try not to notice that Gazprom has debts (loans) of many tens of billions of dollars. And it is very difficult to pay debts to him (net profit is small), by the way, and because by law you can’t but pay dividends! If you look at the profits and loans of the company - he is in debt for many tens (!!!) years. Question - to whom will the debts remain? negative negative

          And yet - Gazprom is all overgrown with pipelines, it could have taken care of laying technologies itself, but these pipes are laid overseas by foreign companies. fool fool
          And further - who except our country is so briskly drawn into laying pipes !? NONE!!! DEAR PLEASURE, NO ONE WANTS FOR DECADES TO TYPE HIMSELF WITH DELIVERY TO PIPES !!!

    Comrades, Gazprom pays taxes to the country. Moreover, he pays her dividends. All this goes to the budget. Gazprom has a bunch of social objects (FOKi, for example). And given the small companies that feed on Gazprom ... In general, it is not perfect, our gas monopoly. But...
