Who will replace “Akademik Chersky” in Danish waters. Chronicles of "Fortune"

144

The first issue of our oil and gas chronicles (Where are you going, "Academician Chersky"), which we plan to make regular, ended in early December.

It's a pipe who needs a pipe


At that time, it became clear who, when and how will complete Nord Stream 2. And it became clear that the United States would continue its unprecedented sanctions pressure on an international, in fact, pipeline.



The costs of countering a purely peaceful project were even included in the US military budget. Moreover, the amount under this item may vary. If necessary, no one will forbid Trump's successor in the White House to bring it to several tens of billions of dollars.

This looks especially piquant against the background of the fact that official Washington subsidizes some measly 290 million for political opposition to Russia in general.

In the German shallow water


December 2020 The crane and assembly pipe-laying vessel KMTUS "Akademik Chersky" after a three-day stay to the south of the island. Bornholm went to Kaliningrad.

The barge "Fortuna" on the same days received permission from the Federal Office for Shipping and Hydrography of Germany to continue laying the pipeline.


December 9, Wednesday. The Russian pipe-laying barge (TUB) "Fortuna" in tow at the multifunctional anchor handling operator "Katun" left anchorage in the German port of Wismar. The vessels were accompanied by the Vladislav Strizhov icebreaker, which transported personnel to work on the gas pipeline.

In the absence of ice cover in the Baltic, icebreaker escort was not required, but may be required on the return journey after completion of work in German and then Danish waters.

TUB "Fortuna" has permission from the Federal Office for Shipping and Hydrography of Germany (BSH) to carry out work on the pipeline from 5 to 31 December 2020 in the area between the shallow waters of Adlergrund and the Oder Bank.

The construction of the SP-2 section in German waters was previously confirmed by OMV, Gazprom's partner in the project. Some of the ships employed at SP-2 together with the "Akademik Cherskiy" gathered in the Curonian Spit near Kaliningrad.

On the same day, the German Meteorological Service reminded that from January in German waters it is necessary to take into account the factor of flora and fauna. And the laying cannot continue. Therefore, all works in shallow water must be completed in December.

December 11, Friday. TUB "Fortuna" and the anchor handling operator "Katun" arrived early in the morning at the construction site of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline in German waters. In addition to the tug "Fortuna" was also accompanied by the supplier "Baltic Researcher".

Nearby were the German ships Krebs Geo and Antares, providing safe operations and a 1,25 mile security zone set by the German regulator.

The cost of February futures for Brent crude that day rose by 0,20% to $ 50,15 per barrel.

December 13, Sunday. Fortuna has started laying pipes for the first string of Nord Stream 2. After a pause lasting a year, the prospects for the construction of the Danish section remain in question. The situation with the KMTUS Academician Chersky does not change either, which, unlike Fortuna, can work not only in shallow water.

Oil prices rose for the sixth week in a row. The market continued to gradually recover, supported by the OPEC + decision and vaccine optimism.

December 14, Monday. Fortuna laid about 300 meters of the first string of Nord Stream 2. At a pipe-laying speed of up to 1,5 km / day, the construction of a 2,6 km section in German waters requires no more than 2-3 days per line. But the speed of work is still significantly lower, which is due to the lack of experience in such work on the part of the Russian team.

December 16, Wednesday. The work continues. There are four support vessels in the immediate vicinity of TUB Fortuna: the support vessel for offshore platforms “Baltic Researcher”, the multifunctional icebreaker “Vladislav Strizhov”, the anchor handling tug “Katun”, which brought “Fortuna” from Wismar, taking on the role of a security vessel ... And also under the German flag - dredge "MS Trio", which prepares the bottom for laying the gas pipeline.

The Umka anchor handling ship returned to the German port of Mukran that day.

Danish waters after German


December 21, Monday. With the arrival of the rescue vessel "Murman" at the stowage site, the pace of work of the TUB "Fortuna" has sharply increased over the past days.

At the same time, supply vessels actively ply between key locations. Revitalization is also visible in the Curonian Spit, where tests of the modernized KMTUS "Akademik Chersky", which will operate in the deep waters of the Baltic in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Denmark, continue.


December 22, Tuesday. The Danish Maritime Authority (DMA) has released a notice that the Russian pipelayer Fortuna may begin laying the Nord Stream 15 gas pipeline in the Danish EEZ on 2021 January 2. Permission was granted for two lines of the SP-2 at once.

For the time of pipe-laying, a prohibited zone with a radius of 1,5 km is allocated around ships of limited maneuverability - TUB "Fortuna" and 500 m around "Baltic Researcher" and "Murman".

The Danish section remains the most problematic in the ambitious project. US sanctions against Nord Stream 2, adopted in December 2019, apply to the owners of ships who will build the pipeline at a depth of more than 33 meters.

December 23, Wednesday. The vessel "Murman" - one of the accompanying TUB "Fortuna", has begun to inspect the condition of the bottom in the waters of Denmark south of about. Bornholm in the future pipe-laying site.

Global oil prices continued to decline amid concerns over a new type of coronavirus in the UK. The fall in oil prices is limited by the adoption by the US Congress of a new stimulus package to support the economy.

December 24, Thursday. With reference to high-ranking sources in the administration of President Donald Trump, it is reported that in the near future the US pressure on the project to build the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline will increase.

December 25, Friday. The operator of the Nord Stream2 AG project reported that TUB Fortuna has completed the construction of the first string of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in shallow waters in the German EEZ.

2,6 km of pipes were laid. And the second line is planned to be laid before 2021.

December 26, Saturday. TUB Fortuna has left the construction site of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in the exclusive economic zone of Germany, heading for Wismar.

Oil prices, after seven weeks of growth, ended the pre-holiday week with a decline to $ 50,34 per barrel of Brent.

Reserve player


It remains to add to the chronicle that on December 24 it became known about the possibility of replacing the pipe-laying vessel "Akademik Chersky", which still has difficulties with equipment certification.

KMTUS "Oceanic 5000" under the flag of Barbados, which has been located in the port of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands (Spain) since July 14, 2020, can take part in the project.

Who will replace “Akademik Chersky” in Danish waters. Chronicles of "Fortune"

In the meantime, in order to block the consequences of US sanctions, the Russian pipe-laying barge Fortuna changed its owner for the second time in three months in December 2020.

Now an entry in the Russian International Register of Vessels (RMRS) indicates that the owner of the vessel is KVT-Rus.

Previously registered with foreign branches of the offshore company, and then with Mezhregiontruboprovodstroy, the barge moved from the port of Mukran, where the flow logistics terminal is located, first to Rostock and then to Wismar.

On October 6, 2020, the Universal Transport Group (UTG) became the owner of Fortuna, and now it is the little-known company KVT-Rus. But the exact replacement date is unknown. A change of owner is not excluded directly during the work.

For the crane and assembly pipe-laying vessel (KMTUS) "Akademik Chersky" with the owner, everything is also not easy. Now it is the Samara Heat and Power Property Fund (STIF), which recently ceased to be an affiliate of Gazprom.

Other ships involved in the project also change owners almost regularly. So the Russian authorities are trying to minimize the risks due to US sanctions. Let us remind you that they also apply to companies participating in false or structured transactions, according to which ships are provided for the completion of the SP-2.

Taking advantage of the time gaps between the adoption of sanctions packages, the Russian authorities change the owners of the vessels just at the moment of the beginning of the action of certain bans.

The Akademik Chersky, 2 Oceanic and Fortuna also have technical capabilities for the construction of Nord Stream 5000 in Danish waters. Denmark is not opposed to the use of such anchored vessels. But, if Fortuna has to work alone, this will greatly delay construction.

Silence of the Lambs"


No, by all indications, the main opponents of Nord Stream 2 (besides the United States) - Poland and Ukraine - will not go to the slaughter because of it. Experts say that at the current pace, SP-2 will be completed sometime in the middle of summer 2021.

Regardless of the internal political situation, the United States will interfere with sanctions and construction and the process of putting the gas pipeline into operation. At the same time, Washington, most likely, will not refuse support from Poland and Ukraine, but only formally.

Money is hardly anymore. And nothing more significant than fines from this side can no longer threaten the project. It's only a matter of timing, although due to the pandemic, the delay in launching the SP-2 can even be considered a blessing.

Gas demand has not yet stabilized. But over time, it will grow, as will prices. However, Poland and Ukraine, which the United States simply cannot stimulate to protest indefinitely, seem to be starting to understand something.

The main thing is that in the event that Germany (and therefore Europe) is defeated in the battle for the SP-2, they cannot win in any way. Gazprom will no longer offer another transit to the old continent.

This means that its turn to the East (so far, actually, more declared than real) will simply become a fait accompli.

    The United States imposed sanctions on any operators of not only construction, but also certification of equipment and construction results, as well as against operators of SP-2 operation. This is serious. Where Gazprom will look for those who agree to certify the construction site, and then operate it - I don’t know.

      The European Union and Russia will be able to circumvent the refusal of European companies to certify the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline if they attract a Russian company to certification, said Igor Yushkov, an expert at the Financial University under the Russian government, a leading analyst at the National Energy Security Fund, in an interview with RT.

          As for the confusion-disguise with the owners and completion ships, it is understandable: the United States, allocating large funds and paying so much attention to the completion and launch of the SP-2, shows that the SP-2 plays for them, Europe and, perhaps, all the world is of great, key importance. Not only economic, but also political.

                  You will not be able to invest in it unless someone sells their share, because no one wants to leave the list of investors. Therefore, as I imagine, after the project pays for the construction of the gas pipeline itself with transit revenues, the participants in this pool will come up with a new proposal to build another joint venture number three, and then there will be many who wish, because this is a very profitable project for many years.

      This is half the trouble, the main thing is that Denmark, under pressure from the United States, does not withdraw the permit to complete the construction of a gas pipeline in its waters at all, otherwise the Danish regulator is like that ... today you have a permit, and tomorrow everything, the train leaves. Therefore, the implementation of the project is now almost entirely dependent on the German side, if they put pressure on Denmark in order to preserve the previous agreements and permits, then the project can be implemented, but if not, then the whole project will stand for a long time ... Biden is far from Trump in this regard, those. he, as a globalist, will try to restore those relations between the US-EU that Trump ruined and the Europeans may well give back in this project, so I would not be surprised if some permission is suddenly revised and it turns out that the implementation of the project in Danish waters is impossible under current conditions, so that on the good it is necessary to complete the construction of the gas pipeline now, before Biden ascended the throne and began a tour of the EU countries, otherwise it will be too late ... and the situation with Germany is not clear if Biden comes to Germany for negotiations with Merkel on Nord Stream -2 and will put the question bluntly, it is not known what she will choose.

          This is how experts assess the current situation:
          Moscow. 5 January. INTERFAX.RU - The spot price of gas in Europe on the first day of trading in the new year stormed the mark of $ 250 per thousand cubic meters against the background of falling temperatures, reducing gas supplies from Russia, and across the sea - in liquefied form.
          Gas price at the Dutch hub TTF (day-ahead contract) for delivery on Tuesday rose to $ 253,5 per thousand cubic meters after $ 243 for the New Year holidays and $ 244 for Monday. This is the highest value in the last 23 months - from January 25, 2019.
          In December last year, gas was traded at an average of $ 202, in November - at $ 168 per thousand cubic meters.
          The beginning of 2021 in Europe is much colder than 2020 and the temperature forecast for the first half of January is much colder than in the previous three very warm winters.
          A new mandatory reservation for Gazprom is in effect on the Ukrainian gas transportation corridor since the new year: 40 billion cubic meters. m (110 million cubic meters per day) after 65 billion cubic meters. m (178 million cubic meters per day) in 2020. And if in December 2020, Gazprom pumped 183 million cubic meters per day through Ukraine. m per day, then from the new year pumping fell to an average of 125 million cubic meters per day (in the first three days). Cold weather forces Europe to actively spend gas reserves in underground storage facilities. The level of current reserves (72,54% based on the results of the gas day on January 3) is only 2,14 percentage points higher than the average for the previous five seasons (70,4%). And this gap is rapidly closing: at the beginning of the selection season it was 6,75 points, at the beginning of December - 4,59 points.
          The flow of gas into the European pipeline network through LNG terminals in January 2021 is reduced by half compared to January 2020. This may be the sharpest decline for the season (in October, supplies fell by 30%, in November - by 39%, in December - 43%).
          In addition to the drop in air temperature, the price of gas is supported by a noticeable reduction in the contribution of wind generation to the energy balance of Europe - it fell to 11,8% on Monday after a monthly maximum of 30,9% a week ago.

      Let me repeat my post from another thread.
      According to information from circles close to Gazprom:
      "The main news in recent days (which is not really news) is the final complete refusal of DNV GL to work on the project.
      In fact, the Norwegians warned NS-2 AG two months ago that they would do so the day after the final adoption of the relevant legislation in the United States.
      The builders were ready for this turn of events. What do you think Akademik Chersky has been doing near Kaliningrad for the last two months? That's right - he was laying a pipeline identical to Nord Stream 2. And for what ?
      First of all, he helped a Russian company - a home Gazprom certifier - to gain practical experience to obtain the appropriate licenses from the European Commission.
      Well, I also trained, of course, while simultaneously improving the process.
      Do not forget that for Russia, the complexity and importance of laying such pipelines is akin to organizing a flight to the moon or creating an atomic bomb in the forties. This has never been done in the USSR, let alone in Russia. "
      Meanwhile, the “Akademik” arrived on the SP2 route with support vessels and lay in the drift.

            1. We can only talk about the psychology of a few European businessmen, who foolishly invested in a risky and adventurous project. They did not take into account the usual business risks, these are their problems. From now on they will be smarter. And the choice between losing part of the money and confrontation with the United States, as a result of which it is possible to lose not only this part, but the entire business, is quite obvious. It is somewhat presumptuous to attribute one's desires to the real behavior of German businessmen.
            By the way, has Russia fully fulfilled gas supplies to the EU and China for 2020? Ask at your leisure, as well as the reasons why it was not done.
            2. Have electric cars already replaced ICE cars? Where? In Russia? When such happiness comes in the EU, the very concept of energy consumption will change.
            3. I hear a fairy tale and frost regularly. Both Europeans and Ukrainians were already freezing, and the latter every winter. Yes, something can not freeze in any way.
            4. Will your own insurance company, in this case Danish, insure the work of ANOTHER vessel? With doubts about the qualifications of the Russian personnel and it is not clear who installed the equipment on the ship? Or the Russian insurance company will insure the work taking place in the foreign territorial waters? Do you even think sometimes that you are writing.
            5. Why should they impose new sanctions? They do not get hot, they do not twitch. Instead of incomprehensible multi-moves, they made a checkmate in one move (it turns out, there is one). Imposed a ban on all companies to provide testing, inspection or certification services for the gas pipeline. And that's all. And that's enough. And the bobby is dead. For even if the pipe is completed, it will never receive a permit for operation.
            Simple, elegant, effective.

              In the EU, by 2030, there will already be about 40% of electric vehicles, out of approximately 1 billion 200 thousand worldwide - such forecasts are made by automakers. Although this is actually the figure for today, the forecast by 2030 is up to 2 billion cars worldwide, and again 40% are electric cars.

              Gazprom's European partners are requesting gas supplies for the next ten years, which currently exceed the capabilities of the company's existing infrastructure. Elena Burmistrova, General Director of Gazprom Export, announced this.
              She noted that she constantly receives requests for new volumes, which ensure supplies for at least the next ten years, RIA Novosti reports.
              “At this moment, these volumes are much larger than the capacity of the infrastructure that we have now,” concluded Burmistrova.

Well, Western companies will raise the insurance premium for the period of work, and that's all.

              It’s easy - if it has a license to pay in the currency of all insured events and officially works with foreign insurance companies. You can insure your car in a Russian company when you go abroad, this is provided for in CASCO - there is simply a different procedure for notifying an insured event.

        What you gave me - the bulk is again the same "oil and gas processing" ultimately aimed at the export of these same oil products - the same eggs, only in the other hand. After all, something needs to be poured into the "Streams", so the next LNG and GOKs are being built. As was the resource needle, so it remained. Just an example - the products of the "super-plant" in Ust-Kut are poured into tanks and briskly walk to China. The products of the Boguchansk and Taishet factories are stupidly aluminum ingots, again going to China. I know this because I live in this region and the full compositions of oil, gas, timber and aluminum are constantly seen. If you think (from the title of the article) that these are "giant" factories, I do not think so.
        All these giant factories wander from year to year on similar publications of the Yandex-Zen level. It is enough to look at how many years these wonderful factories have been built.

                  I would have believed it, if the Americans really wanted to strangle Russia, then 5-7 years ago they could easily disconnect us from SWIFT, block the Internet, ban Aeroflot flights, abandon our rocket engines, i.e. to deal a serious blow to us all over the world. But nothing was done, they sell their government securities to us, we trade on their exchange, their astronauts did flights to the ISS until recently - and you call this a "disaster" for us? Do you even know that all the Lexus and Highlanders that Toyota sells in Russia are made in the USA, and this is far from a few thousand a year. So, over the past ten years, I have not yet seen a single real US action that would have dealt a catastrophic blow to the Russian economy. They are exhausted, although we are not happy to bear the additional costs. But it is simply naive to think that squeezing us out with gas in Europe will bring down our economy - they still cannot do anything with the DPRK, but they are raising their feet against Russia, which has already transferred part of the gas to China.

    They don't build, so they don't need it. It was built in the sixties without any problems. The fact that the price of gas will grow is far from a fact. More than once it was already when they got high on the pipe, and prices suddenly collapsed. Firstly, we ourselves increase gas production, which actually reduces its price. Secondly, green energy is developing, no matter how we grin at some Gretta, the construction of wind and solar power plants is growing. There are even notes that ships with sail installations are being built. Naturally, fuel consumption also decreases. Australia is actively increasing the extraction and production of liquefied gas, as well as in Saudi Arabia. And it's just that the population in Europe is declining.

                        This "mosquito squeak" is a hundred times larger than what you brought - and that already says everything. Moreover, it has just been brought in.

                        Yes, this is a pleasant event, proving that our people are not bastards, and the Americans will have to wipe themselves off once again with their sanctions.

                  It was ironic about the Mongolian register.

                  Yes, I was joking too. bully You go to the site of this "register": what it does not do! Well, in general, he doesn't do everything ... No. A pad for absorbing additional money supply when hanging a Mongolian banner on a steamer (one of the flags of convenience, by the way). I understand the Mongols and don't blame them - the system is to blame.

    Everything, instead of a few weeks from uraidiots, turns into the end of summer. Can I disperse? Well settled, under this business it is possible to withdraw money for a very long time under the pretext of breaking the lobby of all involved and non-involved countries. And how convenient it is.

      Ukraine bent the same fingers, they say, we will cut off the gas, cut off, flew 12 billion dollars, but they were like water off a duck's back, we were paid.

      So maybe one should get out of the jurisdiction of international commercial arbitration, because the task of any court as such is to find a balance of interests from the parties, and if there is no balance, then it is no longer a court. everyone knows their court is an appendix to their sanctions. ... it turns out like in that saying "the strong does what he wants, and the weak appeals to the law" I recalled the story of the captain of the players about how they sometimes played for money with another team in the eighties, I asked him how the refereeing was, he answers, " and we didn't need judges, we knew what to do without them "

          And at this time, the customer brought my gas to his house. Private house. 30 meters of pipe. I gave 450 pieces for it !!!. You will laugh, but the boy was not given gas. Your village does not pay plainly, they say.

            And now we count. 30 meters of pipe and my excavator. Minimum salary 4 hours 1200 hour delivery 3000 plus pipe coupling and one hard worker. This is 30 thousand. Further in the house there is a boiler, well, let's take for 70 plus a pump, filter work, acceptance ... well, another 120. It turns out 300 pieces for a pipe project? National treasure? In Austria, it is twice cheaper and without its own gas

    In my provincial opinion ...
    The main trouble is that there will be a flow / there will be no flow ...
    The ordinary / regular population will only get tops.
    Taken off the top of the taxation of the roots.
    Thus, an ordinary man in the street (i.e. I) - how far from
    dividing what he is weakly interested in (from the word completely), what is there, but how will happen ...
    In general, it is certainly better to have it built (probably).
    But there are suspicions that this will not change anything fundamentally for the population.
    If we again started broadcasting something for the pension fund (during advertising). This is not good ...

        One hundred and fifty thousand rubles is an unacceptable cost of work (excluding boilers, convectors and gas water heaters).
        This, even godly, is taken from you.
        I myself live in the private sector. True, the gas pipeline was carried out during the UA.
        The cost was also severe, but it was not a very gas producing country.
        One boiler now costs from thirty to infinity thousand rubles. Everything else is also worth a lot of money.
        The state is still trying to sell its services to the fascists for some reason, instead of investing in their territories. Where the risks are many times less!
        At this point, I absolutely do not understand our state.
        That is, of course, there is currency! There are rubles ...

      The issue was fundamentally resolved by the Great October Socialist Revolution, for which many thanks to our ancestors, because they were courageous people who believed in the possibility of building a just society.
      When we have such in the majority, then it will be possible to talk about how to build a new just society, where all the wishes of the majority of workers will be taken into account.
      Until then, all the tears of those who in 1991 gave up their "birthright" for the sake of sausage look hypocritical in my opinion. So let us leave the Manilovism naive, and we will build at least a developed capitalism that will be competitive against the rest of the world, because in this fierce struggle either they will crush us, or we will keep them on a nuclear hook and thus survive.

        There is no reason to disagree.
        However, today I am not ready enough for revolutionary events.
        It's not even about me. But, in the fact that I will be in the overwhelming minority.

          In the "other galaxy" now they also scratch their turnips:
          .
          ..Secondly, the oldest wind turbines in Germany are already starting to turn 20 years old. And according to local laws, a 20-year-old turbine must be disassembled and recycled - unless the owner spends money on its repair and modernization and proves to a special commission that the device is working. And next year 7 thousand out of 25 thousand operating wind turbines will be 15 years old.
          The fact that over the past 10 years technologies for producing energy from wind have made a big step forward also plays a role, and modern wind turbines are able to generate several times more energy than their predecessors. Already, replacing a turbine with a new one instead of repairing an old one looks like a more profitable enterprise. However, the repair of old wind turbines becomes unprofitable for another reason.
          The production of renewable energy in Germany is subsidized by the state. There are fixed prices for the energy generated by wind turbines - high enough for the wind turbine to pay off. But the subsidies stop after 20 years of using the wind turbine, after which its maintenance becomes economically impractical.
          At the same time, the decommissioning of a windmill - disassembly and disposal - costs € 30000 for one windmill. Since the windmills have to be made of gigantic proportions to produce enough energy, two 150-ton cranes have to be used to disassemble the windmill. If, as some owners do, mindlessly throw a huge windmill to the ground, then it will then be much more difficult to dispose of or sell on the secondary market.
          A number of wind turbines (and these are structures of 160 meters in height and weighing more than a hundred tons) can be used for metal processing. Also, according to experts, there is a demand for German wind turbines in the secondary markets in Poland, Italy and Russia. But still, the complexity of the task of recycling old gigantic structures increases as their number increases.
          And in a few years, offshore wind turbines standing in the open sea will begin to become obsolete - they began to be installed only in 2010, and so far no one has tried to dismantle them.
