US threatens Gazprom with sanctions for completion of Nord Stream 2

In the event that Russia completes the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline, the United States will impose sanctions that were passed in December last year. This was stated by Texas Senator Ted Cruz, writes the Atlantic Council.

According to the American politician, the sanctions on the gas pipeline have already been approved and in their wording there are no exceptions or interpretations. Cruz emphasized that it doesn’t matter how the pipeline will be completed, if it is put into operation, the Russian company Gazprom and other involved individuals and legal entities will be subject to sanctions.



If Gazprom uses the Akademik Chersky vessel to complete construction, the US President is required to impose sanctions

- said Cruz.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian pipe-laying vessel Akademik Chersky arrived at the German port of Mukran, where the logistics center for the construction of SP-2 is located. Currently, the vessel is loading the pipes necessary to complete the construction of the gas pipeline. Also in the port of Mukran is the Russian pipe-laying barge Fortuna.

According to available information, Gazprom needs to complete a little more than 130 km of the gas pipeline. In the case of using the ship "Akademik Chersky" construction can be completed before the end of this year.

Recall that in December 2019, the United States imposed sanctions against companies involved in the construction of the pipeline. They suggest a ban on entry into the United States and freezing of assets in the United States of persons involved in the "sale, lease, provision or assistance in providing" ships for laying Russian pipelines at sea at a depth of 30 meters. After that, the pipe-laying ships of the Swiss company Allseas left the Baltic Sea, fearing sanctions.

          US threatens Gazprom with sanctions for completion of Nord Stream 2

          I just thought that the US congressmen, out of indignation at the completion of the construction of the SP-2 by Russia, would immediately stand on their ears!
          And so it happened!

            That's why there will be no war unless of course someone betrays on the button. And that means they won’t sell the resources. And then the children will have nothing left Or does someone think that the resources are endless? (And a piece of paper made from a tree (maybe a Russian one) is needed more? By the way, it will still grow) Or does anyone have children in Russia? Or is someone not going to live in Russia? And it’s clear, the main thing now, and then at least a flood, yeah, Type we’ll come up with something -Wet gas (I wrote here) yeah Or force the whole country to be nuclear? Well this is real wrecking!

              Firstly: for half a century, at least, they have been lamenting that resources are about to run out, and they are opening up more and more. Secondly, will our descendants need oil and gas in 100 years? Technology is evolving.

                As I understand it, the logic is this: maybe they won’t end. And if we’ll end we’ll come up with something. Strongly it turns out that the army is also not needed (enough for the police).

          Regarding the article ... SP-2 will be completed, despite the sanctions, howl and squeals. This is not only a commercial project, but also strategic and political.

                I'm not saying that you need to try something - war is always an extreme thing, even if 100% sure of success. There is no income from it, only blood and destruction. You need to be able to win and achieve your goal without shooting and noise. And you can not always express concern. Need and answer. It’s clear that the battle for the EU markets is going on - I completely agree that SP-2 needs to be completed. But sanctions also need to be reacted differently.

                    They are warmongers, but not participants.

                          It may be necessary, but it does not work. It so happened historically that we cannot sit out in the bushes and draw under the Rubilov's finale. Always on the front line "hand-to-hand", and then "honestly" we share the trophies with the newly-minted allies, and even from the guilty we cannot recover all the damage, because by our generosity we forgive the assholes.

                      The war would last up to August-September, then instead of Berlin, Munich and other German cities there would still be a closed radioactive zone. Do not think that German and American Jewish physicists dreamed of taking revenge on Hirohito. Their goal was Vaterland. And Stalin actually saved Germany by speeding up its surrender.

            PS - but, as for ours, at the end of the SP-2 project there are interests not only of Russia, but also of Germany, which, for a moment, considers itself an ally of the United States, which in turn consider Germany their cash cow and they do not care deeply about the interests "ally", as well as the interests of all their European sixes.

            It would be so, but the USA, having pulled on itself the skullcap of the main global guarantor of free trade on the basis of competition, clearly did not cope with its mission and demonstrated to the whole world the flaw of one center of power and the fact that there is no free trade and competition, pushing the world to restore multipolarity .

            Time will show how the war will end, at least we didn’t start it, but we will traditionally have to finish it and, most likely, it’s traditionally victorious again.

But in the light of the latest events in the world, it became clear to everyone that the "king is naked", but the truth is still strong. We will look at the development of events in the states themselves, and the trends, to put it mildly, are not very much. It seems to me that the United States will repeat the path of the USSR.

                Let's get a look. Do you want to frighten Russia with the crisis? Fortunately, the last few years, the states have been diligently pushing Russia out of the world economy, which is going through far from the best times (with all sorts of sanctions, restrictions and other crap). The one who is most integrated into the world economy will fall the most. And during the period of economic crises, political, ethnic and other problems, which in "well-fed times", they preferred not to notice, are aggravated. so let's see. By the way, Russia has every chance of surviving another period of instability with minimal losses. At least the resource base allows it. The main thing is not to fall for the next Western "democratic troubles" and "common human enticements", which always came out sideways.

                Probably agree. But, compared with us, for the same period ...
                The topic is very extensive. If briefly (IMHO), and if you take not 30, but a little more than years, then the United States opposed the USSR on all issues - economic, political, ideological, military. In conjunction!
                There was a balance. The question of the price of sacrifices. Other players appeared on the wave of this confrontation. We (I must admit, were blown away. Well, or, they surrendered us). And the states were left alone with all this gluttonous, sometimes aggressive world, as opposed to ourselves .. And don't seem to always be raked out.
                But! With all the difficulties, the United States will change hands in the air on the world stage, cheat, bribe, scare ... BUT! They will not offend their citizens. For this is fraught. (Unlike us).
                If I am mistaken, please correct.

        There will soon be nothing to regret at all.
        1) Source finance.rambler.ru:
        In the first quarter of 2020, Gazprom for the first time in history began operating at a loss, if you count according to Russian Accounting Standards (RBSU). The loss amounted to 306 billion rubles, calculated by Interfax ...
        The problem for Gazprom was the abnormally warm winter and the overcrowding of European storages into which the company was actively pumping gas to improve statistics for 2019. An increase in the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) played a role.

        2) Source maxpark.com: At the end of 2019, a company with a monopoly on the export of pipeline gas became unprofitable in cash flows. Gazprom spent 190 billion rubles more on capital construction than it received from operating activities.
        The year 2020, instead of relief, brought a sharp deterioration in the situation. In April, spot prices on European gas hubs dropped to $ 60 per thousand cubic meters and were lower than Russian ($ 63 in the Leningrad region, $ 67 in the Southern Federal District). At the end of the year, Gazprom is likely to receive negative cash flow again due to record low gas prices, Fitch predicts.
        “Cash gap” in the budget will have to be covered by debt. Company may need to take 10 billion, estimates an analyst with the agency Dmitry Marinchenko.

        3) Source Gazeta.ru:
        The Federal Network Agency of Germany refused Nord Stream 2 AG to withdraw the Nord Stream 2 project from the rules of the EU Gas Directive. This was reported in a decision of the regulator published on Friday May 15 ...
        The updated EU Gas Directive, in particular, implies that after the construction of the pipe is completed, Gazprom will be able to use only 50% of its capacity. Alternative gas suppliers may qualify for the rest, independent of the main supplier, that is, from Gazprom.

        Well, add here the bonded for Gazprom, a five-year agreement on transit through Ukraine.
        I already wrote earlier that Gazprom in the future expects bankruptcy and separation into an upstream and a transport company. In the light of all these events and news, such a forecast is starting to look more and more real.
        And here the issue of completing the SP-2, and the question of the profitability of this project for Gazprom, is becoming more relevant. Unprofitable Turkish stream, too, after all, is still here. But hoping for a speedy return of volumes and high gas prices is hardly worth it. The impact on the LNG market will not disappear. Gazprom made a big mistake with planning and forecasting. However, maybe this is not an accident:
        Commercially Turkish Stream is a monstrously unprofitable project. In 2018, Sberbank CIB analyst Alex Faek (dismissed, in particular, for these estimates) calculated that the project cost $ 20 billion, it will not pay off in the next 50 years and will bring Gazprom $ 13 billion loss.

        PS The main thing is that whoever needs to work on this construction has already earned, and not very bad. hi

            Agree hi. Forgot about the Power of Siberia.
            And also plans for the Power of Siberia -2 (source kommersant.ru):
            Gazprom’s new export pipeline for supplying gas to China, the Power of Siberia-2, is likely to become a transit pipeline and will pass through Mongolia. On March 27, Vladimir Putin allowed the head of Gazprom Alexei Miller to transfer this option of laying the route to the pre-investment stage.

              what the speech is about. no one can make predictions now. For the time being, Gazprom is in fact profitable at the moment the killed gas prices. taking into account pipelines and opportunities, he can squeeze out a bunch of markets in Europe. he was recently accused of this that they want to bring down prices and take the markets for themselves) and then everything happened by itself. It is noteworthy that Russia was caught using the same strategy before the coronavirus epidemic. At the end of last year, S&P Global Platts, citing interviewed traders, asserted that our country is going to "kill" gas prices in Europe in order to push competitors and seize their sales markets. Isn't that why, even against the background of positive shifts in negotiations with Ukraine, Gazprom continued to fill storage facilities in Europe?) And now everything is somehow confused. Until next year, in any case, you will have to wait to somehow understand what's next.

            No, I draw my conclusions on the basis that Gazprom recently became the "happy" owner of several unprofitable projects at once. Which will now drown him in the future.
            Or can you refute at least one of the figures or facts I have quoted? Or do you think your blah blah is enough?
            If back in 2018 (the average export price of gas in 2017 was $ 197 per thousand cubic meters), the payback period for the Turkish stream was estimated by an employee of the Security Council at 50 years, then how much is the payback period now, when prices are much lower?
            And tell me please, what was the payback period of the Power of Siberia planned? And the prices at which such a period was planned.
            Or maybe you can cancel LNG supplies? The influence of which on the market was so confidently denied by Gazprom to the last.
            Or maybe you are able to bring the SP-2 out of the action of the third energy package? After all, the SP-2 was not designed for 50% load.
            Or maybe you can return gas prices to 197 (and now they are several times lower).

            Where to me, to the economists of Gazprom and you personally. Borrow in order to pay Ukraine, regardless of whether you download or not. This is of course a strong economic (and political, too) move.
            And by the way, do not forget to add to the treasury of Gazprom's "successes" the lost cases against Ukraine and Poland, when it consistently loses under the terms of the contract - take it or pay.

                WORLD CRISIS
                ? If the money in the Turkish stream, SP-2 and the Power of Siberia began to bury before the crisis.
                Or are you so too adequate that you forgot how exactly the same Turkish stream was built? Recall the fate of four branches, two of which were then dismantled. And why? But because they rushed to build, Without waiting obtaining permission (source Kommersant.ru from 20.05.2015):
                Gazprom launches for the first time a major export project, without signing binding agreements on it: Monopoly announced the start of construction of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline. As a result, Gazprom risks being left with an unfinished pipe in the middle of the Black Sea, but the company believes that the delay is purely political and an agreement with Turkey will be signed after the elections in this country in early June. In Ankara, however, discounts are also expected for the state Botas. An early start for Gazprom gives Turkey a negotiating edge, but it has nothing to lose: the monopoly is already paying the contractor for the downtime ...
                Bye Moscow and Ankara have not signed a single binding document on the Turkish Stream.

                What are you sculpting about adequacy here? Those. such projects should begin like this, without formalizing the relevant documents ?! This is normal?! So things are done when it comes to tens of billions of dollars.?! Well, then get the result and sign.
                If you yourself were not interested in information, this does not mean that others were not interested.

                Now the Power of Siberia (source RBC): at current gas prices (less $200 laughing for 1 thousand cubic meters l) the Power of Siberia project and the launch of deposits not pay off even for the entire contract with CNPC - for 30 yearswarns Polishchuk.

                    Simple answer. Because Gazprom cannot be trusted. Too often, their statements turned out to be ordinary lies and fantasies. So you have to refer to the opinion of sources that seem more reliable, especially since Polishchuk is not alone in his conclusions (RBC source, May 21, 2018):
                    The main conclusion that Sberbank CIB analysts Alex Fack and Anna Kotelnikova make in the May report on Russian oil and gas companies is the main beneficiaries of Gazprom's projects for the construction of three export gas pipelines to China (“Power of Siberia”) and Europe (“Nord Stream-2” and “Turkish Stream”) are not its shareholders, but contractorsamong which are Stroygazmontazh Arkady Rotenberg and Stroytransneftegaz (about 50% belong to Gennady Timchenko and his family).
                    According to investment bank experts, investments in these projects are unprofitable. “We find that Gazprom’s decisions are completely understandable, assuming that the company is managed in the interests of its contractors, and not for commercial gain”, The report says.

                          Rather, it is not a matter of propaganda. Here the section goes FOR or AGAINST the current government. We are looking for where her mistakes and failures are. And supporters are looking for confirmation of her success in order to justify their commitment. I met a figure that any government in society usually has at least about 30% of supporters. Moreover, 30% doesn’t care what kind of power, according to the principle - the authorities are more visible. Although Soviet, even capitalist, it is possible that the occupation will do, some kind of power, but still power.
                          I personally met such. A wonderful person, gentle, hardworking, works only individually, he says you need to cancel the elections altogether. I ask: why is this?

                          Features of the psychotype. There is not even a hint of leadership qualities. It is also more convenient when you remove all responsibility from yourself, and everything is decided for you. Psychological experiments are known when completely sane people even agreed to kill, just because they were ordered to do so.

                          But this is not the same thing. Lack of fair, competitive elections and generally rejection of elections. Yes, and the situation with the elections in the world, even so, varies by country.
                          The absence of fair elections in modern conditions means that they must be fought for.
                          And the refusal of the very opportunity to choose means that we are ready to voluntarily return to the previous historical stage, when the elections did not exist and nothing depended on us. Then the question is how far we are ready to turn the historical process. The monarchy, the feudal system, or immediately slave?
                          Something I doubt that there are many who want to become slaves or serfs, for which everyone decides.
                          Therefore, the proposal to refuse the election is also a utopia in modern society. Unless of course we want to voluntarily become slaves and slaves. hi

        Well, what have some "Danes" and various other Swedes to do with it, even Poles? It seems that as long as Gazprom and the Russian Federation exist, the pipes will simply lie at the bottom. It was clear, however, that the United States would not allow Gazprom to pay taxes to the Russian Federation, and such a competitor as the FRG would continue to grow stronger. The gas pipeline will start to bring profit to Gazprom in one of two cases: 1) the United States will disappear, 2) Germany will become part of the Russian Federation.
        A logical question arises: why was it built so that the Russian Federation and Germany reunited?
        In the near future there will be nationalization ... (of course, losses).

            in this case, it will pay off much later than everyone would like. This is undeniable. And the reason is not only in price, but also in today's decision of the Germans.
            At the same time, the EU is diversifying gas supplies and this is also a fact.
            By the way, Turkey and China are conducting the same diversification.

All these diversifications are more like trading in the market, in an attempt to bring down the price. Yes, and there is another dimension. Yamal LNG.

                According to the results of the 18th year, 15 countries-importers of liquefied natural gas in Europe accounted for 48,9 million tons of LNG, which amounted to 15,6% of all global supplies. In the first quarter of 2019, demand in the EU grew 2,2 times , up to 17,5 million tons.
                Currently, 9 out of 23 countries to which Gazprom supplies pipeline gas have their own LNG receiving terminals. Their total capacity is 154 billion cubic meters of gas per year.
                In the coming years, the EU is going to almost double the number of large-capacity regasification terminals. If by September 2019 there were 28 of them with a capacity of 227 billion cubic meters of gas per year, then plans for the coming years are to build another 22 points for receiving liquefied natural gas, including in Albania and Ukraine (Odessa FSRU LNG).

              From 2022–2023, the Polish state-owned company PGNiG expects to buy large volumes of liquefied natural gas in the United States. According to the already signed contracts, Poland will purchase from the American Cheniere within 24 years, first, about 0,52 million tons of liquefied gas per year (until 2022), and after that - 1,45 million tons each, as well as 2 million tons per year Venture Global LNG for 20 years. The country plans to purchase another 2,7 billion cubic meters of LNG from 2022 from Qatar.
              In addition to LNG purchases, Poland also plans to build a Baltic Pipe gas pipeline from Norway with a capacity of 8 billion cubic meters. At the same time, in 2018, Poland reduced purchases of pipeline gas from Russia by 6,4%, to 9,8 billion cubic meters, and in the first half of 2019 - by 28%, to 4,3 billion cubic meters.

            Illustration of the level of professionalism of senior managers in the Russian Federation (Kommersant.ru source): Transneft: Sechin asked Putin to lower tariffs, confusing tons and barrels
            Rosneft asked to almost halve the tariffs for pumping oil, based on incorrect estimates, said RBC adviser to the president of Transneft Igor Demin. So, at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin, the head of Rosneft Igor Sechin said that transport costs now account for 32% of the cost of oil. According to Mr. Demin, deliveries to Russian oil refineries cost 16,8% of the cost of oil, and the cost of pumping for export ranges from 11,9% to 16,7%.
            “The whole sensationality of the statement about the transport tariff is one third of the cost of oil based on an amazing misunderstanding of the difference between tons and barrels used in the calculations", Said Mr. Demin ...
            Mr. Demin explained that the head of Rosneft quoted the price of oil per barrel (in a ton of about 7,33 barrels), not a ton, and without taking into account the difference in the dollar exchange rate.

Those. some "independent supplier" or even a real non-Gazprom production company like Novatek can conclude a contract with Gazprom for the transport of its gas to the EU. Moreover, physically, its gas can go in the other direction, and Gazprom will add its own to the SP-2 (this is what they do with oil in the Transneft system).

          '' After all, titanium is extremely necessary for the fuselage skin of such airliners as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The news doesn't talk about it, but titanium is also an indispensable metal for modern military aircraft such as Boeing's F / A-18 Super Hornet. In a study by RAND Corp. it is noted that the metal structures of the F / A-18 Super Hornet (which have just carried out bombing attacks on targets of the ISIS terrorist group in northern Iraq) contain "21 percent titanium."
          And this is just a fraction of the titanium that the American defense industry needs, since building a modern combat aircraft requires much more titanium than is contained in the final product. Military contractors call this the "buy-to-fly ratio": the ratio of how much titanium must be bought versus how much is ultimately used on the aircraft. The weight of the titanium to be purchased for a single F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is 30,000 pounds, or 15 tons. China is the main global source of titanium, but it tends to consume what it produces itself. Teal Group analyst Richard Abulafia warns that titanium is “a commodity product. And if the United States or the West begins to target commodity products, the situation will become dangerous, because Western Europe is highly dependent on oil and gas from Russia. "" We can target [sanctions] defense products, debt markets for financial instruments, people, but if you are talking about goods, it is absolutely not in the West's favor. "
          No, it’s not good, and here’s why: According to the 2013 report of the State Strategic Reserve for National Defense, submitted by the Pentagon to Congressional and Senate Committees for the Affairs of the Armed Forces, of the 19 metals and minerals on the list of “scarce”, Russia supplies 10. For 5 of these 10 positions - antimony, carborundum (silicon carbide), bismuth, gallium and scandium - the United States has nothing at hand - nothing. Of the same five positions: the United States is 100% dependent on imports of scandium, 99% on gallium, 91% on bismuth, 85% on antimony and 72% on carborundum.

      What a sur. America does only what it is allowed to do. And without this, the spinelessness of our government is striking. Sanctions, in recent years introduced above the roof. Was there at least one adequate answer? We still supply them with uranium for nuclear power plants, rocket engines, etc. Sur. Whose government we have, if the stabilization fund is still in the bucks? If so far we can’t issue an issue without buying bucks?
      Moreover, the stabilization fund, as it turned out, was not for us, but for banks that did not care about us. Which sectors of the economy received support?
      The coronovirus turned out to be an excellent pretext for the seizure of civil liberties, but revealed the complete failure of the authorities. Upon closer inspection, our media turned out to be no better than Ukrainian ones. Hooray patriotism and propaganda. More or less independent sources of information have shifted to YouTube.
      A complete imitation of activities from the government is supported by a frank cut, when they wash the Moscow Ring Road and the streets, when you can go to Pyaterochka, but not to the hairdresser. When Kazakhstan paid to pensioners from 60 to 100 tons (not tenges), and we combed it out only when a social explosion became inevitable and gave (not yet given, but promised) miserable swap.
      When in the Kuban farmers are forced to destroy crops, and all food chains are littered with imports.

      He said nothing new.
      The plans to introduce additional sanctions were known back in winter
      . reports the German business publication Handelsblatt, citing sources among diplomats in Washington.

      According to the interlocutors of the publication, the House of Representatives and the Senate are preparing a new bill on sanctions. If the last time sanctions threatened companies involved in the construction of the gas pipeline, this time European investors and future gas purchasers could be the object of sanctions.

      The representative of the German concern Uniper, which is Gazprom's partner in the project, told the publication that the company is monitoring the situation. “We know that the Americans are determined to prevent the implementation of Nord Stream -2,” the representative of the concern said.

      Does the United States have the determination to do this and how Europe will react to this - that is the question.
      But the possibility of such sanctions was written almost immediately after the first sanctions on SP2, so this is not news.
      It seems that the United States believed that Russia would finish building SP2 anyway, otherwise they would not even talk about the second stage of sanctions
      But whether they have enough strength or just scare, which is also possible, we will see further.

However, everything is heading towards the fact that Europe will soon switch to heating with coal, and then with wood. This whole circus is like an anecdote about two hard workers, one of whom digs a hole, and the other immediately buries it. To the question “why?” They answer that there was supposed to be another one between them, planting trees - but he took a day off. Here's the vaunted American management. THE ROOT CAUSE has disappeared, the house is on fire, the cast is being removed - and individual parts of the client's body are still twitching in the direction they set. laughing As a humane person, I am inclined to a speedy and quick end to Euro-suffering and Euro-stupidity.

        Who told you that he would act? Any German company that is in any way connected with SP-2 automatically receives sanctions. As a result, not a single adequate company will get involved in this matter. And SP-2 will lie at the bottom and rust

      I don’t understand why I should write such a blizzard here.

      I’ll explain just once: if we wanted it too much, we would have trampled on it long ago. They did not stand on ceremony with Iraq, they declared an enemy and that’s it...From the propeller, the backwater, the rocket took off. We need an external enemy to whom all failures can be attributed. As with us, all the troubles come from an external enemy in the form of the United States, and not from creatures, friends of the Unnamable One, who are robbing the country, breaking it down.

      Only once - they tried to trample it. They didn't trample. And recently they wanted to do it again, thought about it, and didn’t even bother. True, the American fleet suffered losses out of the blue.

      I said that in the end everyone and everything will be sanctioned. I said this back in 14. When Russia stopped openly supporting the uprising in the Donbass and Yanukovych. They thought they would get sanctions. But in the end, you will still get them. It's a matter of time. But the people you raised and abandoned will no longer believe you

      The best way to respond to US sanctions is to develop the Russian Federation. Help Russian citizens, develop their production, electronics, and rein in grabbers at all echelons. This will be the answer.

      And if we look at the situation from the angle that the Anglo-Saxons want a war? Then they are not just foaming, but they understand that if the EU depends on Russia for energy resources, then nothing will work out. In the event of hostilities, the valve is closed and Europe will live on its reserves for about 3 months. After that, the oil and gas reserves in storage will run out. And that’s it, the war game can be ended.

      Funny. Even if the United States threatens mass destruction, Russia will complete the construction of SP-2. I wonder what motivates the United States to impose sanctions? Because it threatens the security of Europe. This nonsense can only appear in the brains of a madman. Conclusion: the US Senate and Congress are a psychiatric clinic.

      As Comrade pointed out. Stalin is the main result of the Second World War, the formation of two world markets that are striving to expand their sphere. Then the socialist market closed itself and merged into the American world market.
      Now Russia, China and some other countries have finally realized that this is disadvantageous for them. It’s high time to form a second world market again and more and more countries will join, constricting the sphere of the American world market. There is no other way out now. Either fight with good prospects for success or capitulation and complete submission to the United States. It is impossible to agree on some kind of partnership with the United States - Washington has no partners there and only recognizes complete subordination.
