Gazprom starts completing construction of the Danish section of Nord Stream 2

Russian Gazprom is beginning to complete the construction of the remaining section of Nord Stream-2, and ships participating in the construction are being pulled into the pipeline-laying area.

According to the ship tracking portal Marine Traffic, the pipe-laying barge Fortuna left the German port of Wismar and headed for Danish waters. As previously reported, Fortuna completed the German section of the gas pipeline in December, after which it arrived in Wismar at the end of December, where it was awaiting the start of the completion phase. According to the available information, it will be Fortuna that will be the main pipelayer.



In addition, the supply vessel "Baltic Researcher" has returned to the completion area and will be involved in laying the gas pipeline. At the same time, the supply vessels Murman, Umka and Ivan Sidorenko, as well as the icebreaker Vladislav Strizhov, are still in the port of Mukran. These supply vessels are planned to be used to supply pipes.

Meanwhile, Denmark said that the operator of Nord Stream 2, Nord Stream 2 AG, has transferred the schedule of plans for the construction of the gas pipeline; work will begin on January 15, 2021. The Danish Energy Agency has no construction claims, all conditions have been met.

The Danish Energy Agency last week received a timetable for the further construction of Nord Stream 2 from Nord Stream 2 AG (...) I can confirm that all relevant conditions have been met

- said spokesman for the Danish Energy Agency Tore Falbe-Hansen.

Earlier, Gazprom stressed that Russia will independently complete the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline, despite the US-imposed sanctions. Work on the Danish section was scheduled to begin on 15 January 2021.

      ... All US attempts to stop Nord Stream 2 have failed. The foreign onshore section of the gas pipeline was completed. Now pipes are being laid in the waters of Germany, then in Denmark. Analysts point out that the project has reached the home stretch and will be completed anyway.

      The Fortuna pipelayer will be assisted by the Murman and Baltic Researcher of the Russian Marine Rescue Service, as well as other support vessels. A temporary exclusion zone 200 meters wide will be created in the sea on both sides of the pipe-laying line. You cannot swim, dive, anchor, or fish there.

          We do not feed. With the volume that they pump there is almost no profit. The rise in price is a fact. But there is not only our investments and for all participants this is normal. They will beat back then and very quickly. And taking into account the fact that now on the gas market this is happening, they will not even notice.

            Well, yes, of course .. from the couch it is more visible ..

            Last year, less than 56 billion cubic meters of gas was transported through Ukraine, but Gazprom paid for the entire contracted volume.
            In 2020, Naftogaz provided Gazprom with services for organizing gas transportation through Ukraine for $ 2,11 billion, the press service of the NJSC reported on Thursday, January 14.

            "For 2020, Gazprom fully paid for the annual capacity of the Ukrainian gas transmission system (GTS) for gas transportation. According to the agreement dated December 31, 2019 between Naftogaz and Gazprom, the cost of booking 65 billion cubic meters of annual capacity is $ 2,1 billion.

              The Ukrainian Gas Transportation System (GTS) will have to abandon 60-70% of its capacity. The reason is the decline in gas transit from Russia to Europe.

                  They did not give it away, but paid for the work done - gas transit to Europe. Gazprom received payment from the EU for these 56 billion cubic meters of gas, from this money Gazprom paid Naftogaz for transit. All of Gazprom's other pipelines to Europe have been operating at near full capacity throughout the year. So these 3 billion m56 of gas could only be pumped through Ukraine.

                  And what confuses you about this? You don't want to realize that prior to this contract, they paid for much larger volumes. The contract there is a new 60 for the first year and the rest for 40 years. Which means almost half the money for transit. The profitability of the pipe is practically zero. 404 just made less money on it than even in 14-15 years. And Gazprom that through 404 that through another route would still pay for transit.

          Russian Gazprom is beginning to complete the construction of the remaining section of Nord Stream-2, and ships participating in the construction are being pulled into the pipeline-laying area.

          We have a contract until the expiration of Zelensky's term - for another 4 years. For 2020, pumping was initially higher under the contract. Further at a minimum, but it will still be. The Ukrainian pipe is useful to us and will not be abandoned. It's just that with the volumes that have been contracted, the Ukrainians will no longer be able to blackmail us, as the pipe becomes secondary from the main one. But without this pipe, the Poles will be able to blackmail us, and so we will be able to transfer any volumes beyond the contract through the banderlog.
          The timeline was originally clearly scheduled after the state elections. Therefore, the piece was left in shallow water at the beginning of 2020. Now they will finish building and there will be a duty peremoga. Like the states could not interfere, we won and all that. Most likely, the GDP will arrive at the opening, and so on.

              From 2021, the annual volume is about 40 billion cubic meters. This is in fact the cost of maintaining the system. And naturally, you will have to pay for pumping this volume at any rate. That is, there is no sense in not pumping this volume. But the point is that in excess of this volume, you can pump volumes under one-time contracts. That is, Poles or Turks are bending their fingers and trying to stir up something? Well, the dropping volumes can be driven through the ukrogs operator by contracting the pumping of this quantity separately. And you can pump it until the Poles or Turks become more accommodating. request Even 10 years ago, about 200 billion cubic meters were pumped through ukrts. Ukroreykh from this had more than $ 3 billion. Since this year, only 40 billion cubic meters have been contracted. As they say - feel the difference.
              As a whole, Gazprom needs tch ukrogs. Although some branches have already ceased to be necessary and have already refused to pump through them.

                g1v2 - The Ukrainian gas transportation system is really useful for Gazprom, in certain volumes, but the trouble is that the technical condition of this system is deteriorating sharply, preventive maintenance, scheduled repairs were practically not carried out after leaving the USSR and now Ukrainians, with the support of the Europeans, will try to impose repair costs on Gazprom modernization of this rusty pipe, will Gazprom be able to dodge such an "honorable" duty - the question is?

                  In theory, after the unbundling of Naftogaz, Ukrogs was separated and its operator is in fact under the control of the Europeans. And they are interested in gas supplies, because they need to compete with Southeast Asia. Cheap energy is an important link. It will not work to attach ukrogs repairs to Gazprom, because it has nothing to do with it anymore. He contracts the volume of pumping - no more. But of course the state of ukrogs is not good. Again, the gas supply to most of the territory of the ukroreikh comes from a transit pipe. True, now Naftogaz also needs to buy this gas from the Ukrogs operator, as he no longer owns the pipe.

          we do not feed but pump gas. And not 5 years, but already 4 years, and the contract for 5 years was signed in 2019, and even if disruptions in the construction of Nord Stream 2 could be avoided, then it would have been launched before January 1, 2020 by Gazprom did not work (it takes several months for testing and adjustment).
          Since the beginning of 2021, Ukraine has lost a little more than 40% of guaranteed gas transit per year, if in 2020 Gazprom was obliged to pump at least 65 billion cubic meters of gas through the Ukrainian GTS. m then from 2021 this obligation fell to 40 billion cubic meters. m.

      Most likely not, because, firstly, we are obliged to drive the contracted volumes through it for four more years, and secondly, with so many gas pipelines laid, we can reduce the cost of gas if we pay less for its storage in gas storage facilities. Now the transition to spot gas trading brings us certain benefits, because at times of high prices we can pump more gas than sell it at a cheap price for storage to Western owners of gas storage facilities. On the whole, the "excess capacity" of the GTS while competing with American liquefied gas is good for us - I think so.

      There, a contract with Naftogaz seems to have been signed for another 3 years. And then there will be a new one, where the pumping volumes will probably become far less... Most likely, gas will be supplied through Ukraine mainly to Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, and possibly partially to the Czech Republic, Austria and Romania.

      Russia will not refuse to transit gas through Ukraine, despite the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, the construction of which is close to completion. President Vladimir Putin said this at a meeting with representatives of German business in Sochi.

      Putin noted that Nord Stream 2 is a "purely commercial project" and the state practically does not participate in it. “I have already spoken about this many times, I want to say about it again: this does not mean at all that Russia intends to stop transit through the territory of Ukraine,” the president said (quoted by TASS).

      Gas will go through Banderlandia to Moldova (and Transnistria) and part of Romania. There is no other way yet. That is, from the entire Ukrainian GTS complex, in the interests of Gazprom, one pipe will operate in the southwest direction with pumping of 8-12 billion m3. Or even less. Well, one more pipe to Slovakia / Hungary can be reserved for an emergency. In principle, what is happening now is that 40 billion m3 of gas will be pumped through Ukraine this year. And this is not concessions to the banderlog, but a sober calculation.

        And now they are additionally pumping gas from underground storage facilities in Europe

        At the same time, Gazprom, although it has previously booked additional capacities for gas transit through the Ukrainian gas transportation corridor, is still reducing its load and is actively choosing reserves from underground gas storage facilities (UGS) in Europe.

        Thus, Gazprom can pump up to 110 million cubic meters of gas through Ukraine per day under a long-term transit contract and another 41,2 million cubic meters for additional booking, but in fact, pumping is now at the level of 100 million cubic meters versus 182,8 million cubic meters per day. December. In the absence of Nord Stream 2 capacities, the company seeks to fully utilize Turkish Stream and Nord Stream. At the same time, high reserves of gas from underground storage facilities in Europe are declining at a record pace: in the first 8 days of January, they fell by 7%, to 66 billion cubic meters. By restraining supplies through Ukraine, Gazprom is "drying up" the European market, creating conditions for maintaining high prices at the end of winter.

        The reason for the rise in prices in Europe, in addition to the cold weather, was a decrease in LNG supplies - all free gas goes to Asia, where prices are breaking historical records.

    ... if a decent share of pumped volumes through Ukraine is reduced

    Then the pumping price will rise, they will not pump at a loss, and the Germans understand this perfectly.

    For a certain period, they may twist the handles, but everything goes to one.

      Moreover, Gazprom has the ability to supply gas to Europe via the gas pipeline from Azerbaijan to the Southern Gas Corridor Southern Gas Corridor
      "Today seven countries are involved in the SGC project - Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania and Italy. But I am sure that at the next stage, three Balkan countries will join the project - Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro," he said Aliev (quotes from Interfax).
      But there is not enough Azerbaijani gas to fill the pipeline 100%, and Iran and Turkmenistan cannot participate in supplies "for various" reasons, although they were counting on them.

    Transit through Ukraine has already dropped by 40% due to the south stream. Now the completion of SP2 will deprive free money and the possibility of blackmailing the EU by Ukraine completely. And in the light of the merriment in the city on the hill and the transition of power, the split in society and the witch-hunt, Europe grew bolder and began to ignore the hegemon. bully

    The main thing for Gazprom is to take all this into account.
    And, whenever possible, to link * consideration * of the issue of increasing supplies with compensation for damage caused (with fines in the amount of the coefficient perpetuated by Marx) and the issuance of persons involved in lobbying.

    Gazprom starts completing construction of the Danish section of Nord Stream 2

    Meanwhile, Denmark said that the operator of Nord Stream 2, Nord Stream 2 AG, has transferred the schedule of plans for the construction of the gas pipeline; work will begin on January 15, 2021. The Danish Energy Agency has no construction claims, all conditions have been met.

    what is happening in Europe now, it's not frost yet ...

    Some excerpts from the annals:

    In 859, the Adriatic Sea was so frozen that it was possible to walk to Venice on the ice.

    In 1010 - 1011, frosts chained the Turkish Black Sea coast. The frightful cold reached Africa, where the lower Nile was covered with ice.

    In 1210-1211 the Po and Rhone rivers froze over. In Venice, convoys traveled along the frozen Adriatic Sea.

    In 1326, the entire Mediterranean Sea froze over.

    In 1365, the Rhine was covered with ice for three months.

    In 1558, an entire army of 40 camped on the frozen Danube, and in France the frozen wine was sold by weight.

    In 1709, it was -24 degrees in Paris for many days; the wine froze in the cellars and the bells cracked during the ringing.

    Everything can happen again. laughing

    It is fortunate for Europe that so far Gazprom has no opportunity to transfer gas from West Siberian fields to Asia. Putin was going to China this year, they will probably sign an agreement on the Power of Siberia-2. The resource base for it will initially be the fields that are used for supplies to Europe from Western Siberia, in contrast to Power of Siberia-1, the resource base of which is not associated with Europeans.

    This topic has long been exaggerated: "The Power of Siberia-2" through the Tomsk Region, Novosibirsk Region, Altai Territory, the Altai Republic, Mongolia and here you are, the northwest of China!
