US Congress unanimously tightens sanctions against Nord Stream 2

143

The House of Representatives of the US Congress passed a vote on toughening sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 and Turkish Stream gas pipelines. The bill was approved unanimously.

Amendments to strengthen the sanctions will be included in the draft defense budget for the next fiscal year.



The bill provides for sanctions against foreign citizens whose actions are related to the sale, lease or provision of vessels used for pipe-laying.

The Americans imposed sanctions preventing the construction of gas pipelines last year, and in 2020 they decided to tighten them. Two different bills to strengthen sanctions were submitted separately to the House of Representatives and the Senate of the US Congress. When the sanctions restrictions are approved, a specially created commission will coordinate the discrepancies in the draft defense budget.

Earlier, the US State Department also spoke out for toughening sanctions against pipelines designed to deliver Russian gas to European countries. Mike Pompeo demanded that the companies involved in the construction of SP-2 "leave immediately."

As you can see, the United States does not stop trying to stop the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline.

It should be noted that earlier Denmark gave the go-ahead for the use of vessels with so-called anchor positioning. The Fortuna pipelayer belongs to such vessels. As far as is known, neither Fortuna nor Akademik Chersky has yet begun to resume the construction of a gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea.

        The Americans are consistently bending over the EU.
        It would be surprising if they did not impose sanctions.

            The completion of the gas pipeline will begin after the deadline for appealing the renewed permit of Denmark - August 3.

          The power of the straw bends. Merkel will be upset, Lavrov will attend to and Zakharova will say something interesting, she knows how, Putin will tell the people that Congress decided not just out of anger, but this is, they say, unfair competition. What's the use of this? This is Mr. Putin, you do not take parades so that you shout cheers. It is a shame for the country that he cannot put an oversized hooligan in his place. Even our pipelayers remained standing in the port, because they understand that the owner of the house is not Putin or Merkel. And there will be thousands of tons of high-quality steel lying uselessly on the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Pisces to laugh.

            The PRC authorities decided to stop importing gas from Canada and start buying hydrocarbons from Russia, because they consider Moscow a more reliable partner in the matter of supplies, writes the Chinese newspaper Sina.
            An important factor in this matter was the fact that there are already working joint projects of the Russian Federation and the PRC in the energy sector, notes Sina.

            According to the newspaper's analysts, China expects Russia to increase gas supplies to the country to 130 billion cubic meters a year.

            The reason is obvious - China does not trust Canada, because that is under US control ...
            130 billion cubic meters !!!! More than both Nord Streams !!! Perhaps this is why the US Congress urgently makes such decisions!

            But ... the construction of SP-2 will continue after August 3, as I wrote above, there are legal issues that must be observed ... so do not worry about thousands of tons of high-quality steel ... SP-2 will be built and the gas will go directly to Germany ..

              If Russia supplies gas to China in the amount of 130 billion cubic meters. per year -This will be a signal to Europe that it does not "bend" much under the United States in matters of banning the supply of Russian natural gas in favor of liquefied gas from America. If, under the existing pressure from the West, Russia suddenly decides to refuse gas supplies, Europe will immediately face an inevitable crisis ...
              It's funny that China wants to give up Canadian soybeans too ... I think Russia will be able to replace the entire volume of soybeans from Canada ...

                I would have a couple of cubes of gas in my house.
                Yes, only for the connection of gas they asked 350 thousand. Given that the pipe goes along the edge of the site.
                Only there is no such money.

                I have to play with Germany and all the Chinese.
                For the Germans, Turks and Chinese, Gazprom is dragging the pipe at its own expense.
                Through storms and sanctions
                And they sell a pipe to a Russian.
                So the question is - Gazprom, whose will you be?

                In our country there are MILLIONS like me (without gas in the house).
                And we have here (on the site) compassionate people are worried about the gas supply nemchure.

                April 2020:
                Based on data from the Chinese customs, the average delivery price for Power of Siberia in January-February 2020 was $ 203,4 per 1 cubic meters. This price was formed based on the price of oil in the previous three quarters ($ 64,6 per barrel of Brent). In this case, in May 2014, when oil cost $ 110 per barrel, contractual gas could cost about $ 350 per 1 cubic meters.
                Is $ 203 per 1 cubic meters a lot or a little? At the moment this is, apparently, one of the highest prices in the export portfolio of Gazprom. Spot gas prices in Western Europe have now dropped to $ 85 per 1 cubic meters, while in Asia the Platts JKM Liquefied Gas Spot Price Index has dropped to an absolute minimum of $ 81 per 1 cubic meters. True, the price of Gazprom's supplies to China has yet to fall following the price of oil, given the nine-month lag. However, even with an oil price of $ 30, the cost of gas for the Power of Siberia is quite in the current market - at $ 95 per 1 cubic meters. For comparison, the cost of LNG in Asia under long-term contracts pegged to oil at 11% will amount to $ 119 per 1 cubic meters.

                By the way, the Soviet leadership, increasing gas supplies to Western Europe in the early 1980s at an oil price of $ 35 per barrel, hardly anticipated their fall below $ 15 in 1986. Nevertheless, the pipes have already been laid, and the European market is occupied by Russian gas, which brought dividends later.

                  The cheapness of pipeline gas does not at all prevent the Saudis from supplying liquefied gas. And if you add the cost of the pipe to the price, then it is not so cheap it turns out. By the way, it is so tied to the supplier that it is cheaper to buy at the exchange. Therefore, Ukraine has not been buying from Gazprom, and everyone is building terminals, but the power of Siberia will never pay off

                        The policy is simple - Ukraine is deceiving itself:
                        Ukraine buys Russian gas after pumping it to Europe to intermediary firms. This was announced by the head of the Energy Committee of the Verkhovna Rada Andriy Gerus

                        "So that we do not deceive anyone: we buy gas from company X, company X buys from Gazprom. Thus, we allegedly do not buy from Gazprom, but de facto Gazprom sold it to an intermediary firm - gas goes to Ukraine, but first it passes through Ukraine and becomes more expensive, on the one hand, and on the other - we receive transit fees, and then he on the reverse, there is Slovakia, returns to Ukraine ", - explained Gerus

                        Obviously, all manipulations with the reverse are on paper, but the price increases in any case .... Slovaks will not pay for the pumping of gas allegedly bought for themselves, after the gas was sold to Ukraine ...

                But, compared to the holy 90s, now the oil and gas sector pays taxes.

                In the holy 90s, the price of oil hovered around 15-16 per barrel. And until 9.5 it sank. This is for brent, our Urals was a couple of bucks cheaper. So that's it. If now Urals falls to 15, the MET will become exactly zero. And all budget revenues from the oil industry will be reduced to VAT in fact. That, at a price of 1000 re per barrel, will give the budget about 600 billion rubles a year. And most likely only 1.5-2 times less, after new fields appear, where the production cost is much higher than 15. And the result will be 300-400. Simply put, nothing, like in the holy 90s.
                But the merit of our bureaucrats is that oil is now traded at 45 and not at 15, in principle, no. Rather the opposite. 45 and not 15 despite their efforts.
                By the way. The formula for calculating the severance tax is such that when prices for Urals are below 15, it is not the oil industry that will pay the state, but the state. lol And even in the holy 90s they did not think of this. Yes

      The House of Representatives of the US Congress passed a vote on toughening sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 and Turkish Stream gas pipelines. The bill was approved unanimously.

      What an enviable unanimity ... Maybe it's time for our State Duma to impose sanctions on the presence of the US military in foreign countries without the grounds and permission of the governments of these countries?
      The position of Russia on permission of the activities of American companies and legal entities in the field of extraction of raw materials in Russia is also interesting - how long?
      It is clear without explanation why this is happening constantly and at an increasing pace. Objections from the Russian side are childish. We have become a country where the authorities follow the recommendations of citizens who have assets and real estate abroad.
      We are simply hostages of the situation and extras of events, capable of expressing only our "par depit", which is an absolutely assumed reaction.

        Maybe it's time for our State Duma to impose sanctions on the presence of the US military in foreign countries without justification and permission from the governments of these countries?

        And who is interested in our opinion ?? This is about how I will impose sanctions on you ..))
        Only sanctions are not just a word .. it is, first of all, an instrument !!

          “There are no tools” and “don't want to use” are different concepts. Not so independent gentlemen in the United States. They behave in an arrogant manner only because Russia allows American warships to enter the Black Sea ... Or to show some miracles on turns in the Arctic Ocean basin ... Or to block the path of Russian soldiers on the territory of a sovereign state ... Or declare boycotts and isolation on their own behalf to countries in the other hemisphere ...
          There are many ways to kick the American bottom, pinch a curious nose and get rid, for example, of the American environment (located along the Russian borders) of laboratories of unknown purpose ... Russia is not obliged to treat with a downward attitude to a direct potential threat to its sovereignty. If the DPRK was able to, if Iran withstood, if Venezuela, Vietnam, Korea and other countries weaker in the field of armament did not give up, then God himself ordered Russia to act more boldly and decisively ... As for someone's assets and real estate, then These are their problems. Nobody forced them to invest the stolen goods in someone else's economy. On their own land (Russian) problems are above the roof.

            Not just "someone else's". These people hold power in Russia. Their problems, their villas and yachts in Italy, willy-nilly become the problems of Russians. Well, they and their children do not want to live in Tambov without getting out. At least crack. So they wag their tails, and with malice, but submissively, they look at how partners chop off pieces of their pie. And the option with a whole pie in Tambov does not suit them.

      Yes, only for the connection of gas they asked 350 thousand. Given that the pipe goes along the edge of the site.

      Gazprom produces and supplies gas. Pipes are laid to consumers by regional operators; they are available in every constituent entity of the Russian Federation. They should be engaged in their connection.
      So all questions about the cost of connection - to the leadership of your region.
      Some time ago, the regional government launched a full gasification program. The pipes were even extended to the farms where 7-10 people lived. There are also those where only 1 (one) person lives.
      I repeat, laying pipes and connecting is the task of regional operators.
