Gazprom announced the construction of a third of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline

73
Despite opposition from the United States and some EU countries, the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline continues. Today, Gazprom has already laid exactly a third of the pipes through which gas will flow from Russia to Germany. This is reported on the company's website.

Gazprom announced the construction of a third of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline




Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Board of Gazprom, at a meeting with Rainer Seele, Chairman of the Board of the Austrian Gas Company OMV, reported that 818 kilometers of pipes have already been laid to the bottom of the Baltic Sea, which is exactly one third of the total length of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline.

It should be noted that the gas pipeline is being built to bypass transit countries (Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and other Eastern European and Baltic countries) and will be laid through exclusive economic zones and territorial waters of five states: Russia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Germany along the bottom of the Baltic Sea. (All countries, except Denmark, were given permission to lay a gas pipeline).

The gas pipeline SP-2 provides for the construction of two gas lines with a total capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year. A new pipeline is being built next to the existing Nord Stream.

              How do you justify? The point is that the Power of Siberia g / s will be completed in about the same time as the Nord Stream, which will take on almost the same volume that Europe will lose. In the event of a situation of loss of the "magnifying glass" provoked by the Americans, when politicians of large European states say that they could not read the text of the agreement on the supply of gas from "For a magnifying glass", which was not at hand, Russia will be able to compensate for financial losses by redirecting the gas flow ... But whether Europe will be able to make up for the loss of Russian gas is a big question. This is not even a question, but a sentence to huge financial losses. Do they need it?

      Gazprom announced the construction of a third of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline

      And the European Commission, with one "stroke of the pen" "father fell" from the Russian operator 50% of the capacity of the pipeline still under construction in favor of the mythical "alternative supplier", and in fact in a veiled form supported Ukraine in order to preserve transit through it ...

      And so that they do not say that this is still "with a pitchfork pisyano" and Russian lawyers will sue everything backwards, it’s hard to believe No. ...

            Russia is interested, but the host will decide on such restrictions, i.e. Germany. And if she has a determination, she will raise this issue and receive exceptions. Firstly, there is an OPAL precedent approved by the same European Commission - Gazprom maintains a pumping quota for independent companies, but if it does not have power, it will use it. Secondly, Gazprom finances SP-2 by 50%, the rest is large European companies and they are also interested in the speedy return of their investments and profit. It’s the same with Eugal (continuation of the joint venture to the Czech Republic) - in my opinion, Gazprom has 25%, the rest are Germans. In transit, there are two conditions of Russia - the tariff (about $ 2,1-2,2) and the settlement of litigation ... And then bargaining. Already expressed the view that the accelerated adoption of amendments is an additional trump card in the negotiations on the preservation of transit - perhaps so. We’ll wait and see ... And let's see how the position on these two conditions will be fundamentally important ....

                The European Commission is not something abstract, but representatives of countries and each country has its own weight in voting, depending on the population and economic potential. It may be recalled that the compromise on the amendments was decided between France and Germany. So, if Germany is supported by Austria (where the joint venture comes as a result), Italy (the end point of the TP), France (there are questions here), some others are smaller, then the issue is resolved ... You can recall Merkel's speech in Munich - Russian gas remains Russian, regardless of how it comes - through the Baltic Sea or through Ukraine. "The question of how dependent we are on Russian gas cannot be resolved by the question of which pipeline it passes through." But there will be bargaining, including the preservation of transit ...

                        Let's operate with real numbers and not theories. Unlike statements by Miller Gas, it is full and willing to supply it to Europe too.


                        In 2017, Italy consumed 70 yards of gas, of which 30 were Russian. There was no shortage anymore.


                        In 2018, another pipeline was commissioned from Algeria for 8 yards cubic meters. In 2020, TAP. Israel and Egypt are lobbying a new pipeline with their gas.

                        Already under construction are 2 additional LNG regasifiers for 20 yards cubic meters. In the Approval Process, there are still 5 with a total capacity of about 40-50 yards cubic meters.


                        All these volumes of Italy itself are not needed. The goal is to become a gas hub for the rest of Europe and make good money. Germany received its share from SP-1. And no one is going to give the go-ahead for SP-2.


                        Or do you seriously think that Italy is pumping tens of billions into these infrastructures to leave them rusting and watching the Germans weld up?)

                        Gas from Algeria to Italy comes through the Transmed-30 yards gas pipeline. What I said was Gimsi. An additional 8 yards by 2018. But I hurried and did not double-check, they didn’t start yet. It seemed to be postponed and decided to simply increase Transmed's throughput.


                        Putin’s cunning words about a pipe from Austria to Italy is a good mine in a bad game. The pipe exists and gas flows from Ukraine through it. Changing the transit through Germany gives Italy nothing.

    It makes no sense to relax and be distracted, because:
    “We plan to complete the construction of both lines of the gas pipeline by the end of 2019,” said Henning Kote. He specified that 20 vessels are involved in the construction and more than a thousand people are employed.
    Recall that Nord Stream 2 runs along the bottom of the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany. Its estimated capacity is 55 billion cubic meters. m of gas per year. The construction met with strong opposition from the United States, which wants to expand the supply of American liquefied gas to Europe.

              In the spring, everything will be damp, elections, JV 2 are incomprehensible, it is necessary to delay until the fall, when everything will be clear.

                And better until the end of the contract, ideally.

    That’s why screaming, do it and say - everything is already working, and so only salt to them in the wound.

      Take an example from Putin. He also boasts of new types of weapons, but it was worth keeping quiet and confronting the "partners" with facts.

    it’s great it would be nice to increase the pace, but the production technology of a fairly high-tech process is understandable, it doesn’t allow speed, and everything is clear

    Over the week from February 23 to March 1, deliveries of Russian oil and petroleum products to the United States rose to a maximum since 2011, investment bank Caracas Capital Markets said in a note to customers.
    The Bank calls the increase in the supply of Russian petroleum products to the United States a consequence of "the adaptation of American markets to the loss of Venezuelan oil," writes RBC.
    According to a financial institution, in a week at least nine tankers delivered 3,19 million barrels of oil and oil products of Russian origin to US ports. Basically, deliveries for the last week of February are naphtha and heating oil. Tankers came from Novorossiysk and St. Petersburg.
    Caracas Capital's Managing Partner, Russ Dahllen, said that “these are the largest volumes from Russia that we have seen since 2011,” noting that Russia “benefits from the collapse of Venezuela.”
    “One hostile sub-sanction country replaces another hostile sub-sanction country in supply to the United States,” Dallen writes.
    In November 2018, imports of Russian oil and petroleum products to the United States amounted to 254 thousand barrels per day, or about 1,8 million barrels per week.
    At the same time, only one tanker came to the United States from Venezuela in the same week, imports dropped to 109 thousand barrels per day from 587 thousand barrels at the end of January.
    It should be noted that Venezuela itself increased oil supplies to India and the EU amid falling imports to the United States.

      Found something to be proud of. Natural resources they are given to us by mother nature, and not what we created with our own hands and head.

        I'm not proud, but only pointed out the hypocrisy of the "light elves" And there is a high degree of probability that this is Venezuelan oil.

    Nervous trembling in the city on the Dnieper, intensified ....

    Why did you write this comment?
    Israel is proud of Lunopryg, half of the world is happy for Space-X, many people follow the flexible phone screens from HuiVee ... Are you proud that my (and yours, I hope) Motherland sells its resources bypassing the Ukrainians? Does this make you proud? If so, then I feel sorry for you.

      I think this is not pride, but just satisfaction from the fact that the enemy regime will lose a certain amount of money, which will further complicate its absurd existence. And what's wrong with that? And what the world is proud of there is his full right, we also have something to be proud of in terms of high technology.
