Significant drop in gas transit volumes to EU UGS facilities through Poland and Belarus was recorded

It became known about a significant reduction by Gazprom in the volume of gas transit to the EU UGS facilities through the gas transmission systems of Poland and Belarus since the beginning of August. This is primarily about reducing transit to underground gas storage facilities in Rehden (Germany), Haidach (Austria) and Bergermeier (Netherlands) through the "land" GTS.

This information is published by the specialized portal Gas Infrastructure Europe. The information is actually confirmed by the German gas transportation company Gascade. This gas transit operator reports that the volume of gas transit through Poland and Belarus to Germany decreased on August 1 by almost 30 percent - from 84 million cubic meters of "blue" fuel to 60 million in a daily schedule.

The media indicate that experts are trying to find out what this trend may be associated with. Usually, there was no such significant drop in transit volumes through "traditional" gas transmission systems, except for force majeure circumstances.

We would like to remind that earlier Gazprom refused to reserve additional volumes of gas transit through the Ukrainian gas transportation system. The company expects that in the coming weeks the full-scale operation of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline will begin, work on which resumed after the partial lifting of US sanctions. For the lifting of sanctions on the operator of the gas pipeline under construction, Joe Biden has already received harsh criticism from opponents, as well as from individual representatives of Ukraine.

Recently, gas prices in Europe soared to levels approaching $ 500 per 1000 cubic meters.

Let them at least do it, and then they drag on

The Federal Network Agency of the Federal Republic of Germany (BNA) reported that they cannot name the exact timeframe for considering the application of Nord Stream 2 AG (NS2AG) for certification as an independent operator of the gas transmission system ... Nord Stream 2 AG filed an application on June 11, 2021, i.e. ... the day after the completion of the construction of the surface overlap on Line B (2nd line, 1st according to the degree of readiness) of the Nord Stream-2 MGP, which means its full technical readiness ... .. As soon as it becomes established that the documents have been submitted in full, BNA will have 4 months to prepare a draft decision and another 2 months to make a final decision ... The situation is like in the film about Ivan Vasilyevich, where the wife of the house manager has 2 husbands. https://neftegaz.ru/news/gosreg/690740-bna-zatrudnyaetsya-nazvat-sroki-rassmotreniya-zayavki-na-sertifikatsiyu-nord-stream-2-ag-kak-nezavis/

We need to roll out a counter "oxygen" tax to them, since 80% of the territory of Russia is covered with forests that absorb carbon dioxide and give out millions of cubic meters of oxygen to the mountain, and therefore Europe and other non-lodgers owe us - "like land to a collective farm" ...

[knn54]

It's just that Gazprom will make more money by selling gas at a high price.
The catastrophic shortage of gas in European storage facilities requires an ADDITIONAL supply. This is the need to complete the "SP-2".

[Lech from Android.]

Objective necessity will force Europe to use JV 2 ... high technologies of the EU will not work without natural resources.
This is the alignment ... so that the hosh is not hosh, but gas without the molecules of freedom and democracy will have to be purchased from Russia so as not to freeze next winter.

This very "catastrophic shortage of gas" can easily provoke a brain wiggle in the direction of alternative routes of gas supplies ...

[Lech from Android.]

What other alternative ways?
Germany abandoned nuclear power plants, green energy depends on the whims of nature ... firewood, coal, oil, gas and the atom remain as before. Liquefied gas supplies from the USA are expensive ... in general, the time trouble in a chess game.

[Xlor]

What other alternative ways?

LNG

[Lech from Android.]

LNG is more expensive than pipeline gas.

[Xlor]

Energy security costs much more than the price ...

[Lech from Android.]

I agree ... pay exorbitant prices for your energy security, it is logical that after that the goods produced will be uncompetitive ... the costs will become too high.

Where will the "free" LNG volumes for Europe come from? It flows in Southeast Asia, prices are higher there.

Russia has been building LNG terminals at an accelerated pace in recent years. It is cheaper to transport LNG from Murmansk to Europe than to Thailand and Korea. Perhaps in the near future, Russia will refuse to supply pipeline gas to Europe altogether.

[Maikcg]

LNG is also from Russia the Arabs will push theirs to Asia anyway, because the price will be even higher there, and there is no so-called "American" LNG for Europe except for homeopathic quantities or Russian LNG overbought in the ocean.

[aleks26]

These "perturbations" will cost Europe dearly. They could have found an alternative way long ago. And so all the LNG sailed to the place where it is more expensive now, to Asia. Nothing personal, this is business. The pipe from the Azeri was laid, but there is nothing to fill it with. But only Russians come to the rescue, often to the detriment of themselves. The kind "cat Leopold" helps. I wonder how many Russians have to "crap" that would have reached them already. Gazprom is doing everything right with gas. If you want gas, don't "run out". Well, at the same time, it will not make much money on the spot market.

[Pensive Lawyer]

The conclusion of a contract for a guaranteed volume of supply, ensuring consumption, the brain can not stir up? It is clear that it is profitable - in summer prices are usually lower than for the main contracts. But we are already so tired of it.

the volume of gas transit through Poland and Belarus to Germany decreased by almost 1 percent on August 30

In a strange way, this event followed almost immediately after the court's decision to recover 5 billion in favor of Yukos. Putin wants to pay off Rothschild with European money? Well done ... Reception from "political judo" - to make the 3rd energy package work against its authors ...

[carstorm 11]

According to Russian law, disputes in the field of public law (arising from the actions of the state, for example, in the field of taxation) can only be considered in Russian courts. The decision of this arbitration court is up to everyone. It stupidly does not have jurisdiction since we have not ratified the energy charter and all this is just another big top.

[hagen]

Quote: carstorm 11

If it were as you say, then the Russian Federation would not prepare an appeal against this decision. She would just ignore him. So it's not that simple.

Quote: carstorm 11

all this is another big top.

Perhaps you are right, nevertheless, the threat of seizure of Russian assets in Europe exists and is reckoned with. The fact that the media does not talk about it does not at all negate its presence.

[carstorm 11]

Well protest is just an answer. All the same, in addition to the legal assessment, there is also an image. There is a threat. Only these European countries are not eager to risk their assets. There will be litigation for years and that's it. Indeed, in fact, this decision is another in a chain of similar ones that we both did not recognize and do not recognize later. The country's constitution is the main law. And these courts violate it.

[hagen]

Quote: carstorm 11

Well protest is just an answer.

The entry into correspondence by the court can be perceived as a form of recognition of jurisdiction. It should be borne in mind that the schools of Russian and European law have some differences, and a reference to our internal reading may entail unforeseen consequences.

Quote: carstorm 11

And these courts violate it.

The Stockholm arbitration on the dispute between Gazprom and Naftogaz also made a decision, which, according to our right, is considered unbalanced. Nevertheless, Gazprom had to accept and execute it. I do not undertake to evaluate and predict the actions of our lawyers by the decision of the court in The Hague. Still, there is too little information on it, and muddy Europe is still a "pig in a poke".

[carstorm 11]

I don't argue with that. I just think that on all issues in this topic we are right and all that needs to be done is to confront the fact of retaliatory mirror measures. And there are levers for this. Although I still hardly understand why they are doing this in Europe. Creating similar precedents, they shoot themselves in the foot ...

Some analysts are of the opinion that the US is deliberately promoting not the most intelligent and far-sighted people to the EU leadership, in the hope that they will be more manageable. Literate people, one way or another, will come to the notion of the need for European national sovereignty, which is highly undesirable for the United States. I think this thought has a right to exist.

[carstorm 11]

Quite possible. Even most likely)))

[White man]

First, to what extent does this decrease fit into the framework of the current treaty? Recently, one of the "lawsuits" ended with the transfer of $ 1,6 billion to the Poles. For "unfair" prices and the form of services under the contract. Gazprom, having given the money, of course said that there would be ... More than 400 billion "green" Russian assets of various kinds and origin abroad. There is where to roam. Our ships in ports have already been arrested, from deep. representative offices in the states were kicked out, etc. The supremacy of sovereign laws is then real when backed up by the power of their implementation. For example, both our courts and the American courts regularly arrest various citizens abroad in absentia. Compare the result yourself.
I, as it is not very interesting, how someone will spend the winter outside the cordon and how much money is asked ... rut once again Miller's lawyers. And here is how it will affect my life in Russia, the life of my relatives, neighbors, acquaintances, etc. - it is important!

[White man]

PS And yes, the image of the most reliable transit country for hydrocarbons is still our "trick". Bye.

[carstorm 11]

He's been like that for 50 years. Everything is spoiled by inadequate transit

[carstorm 11]

Yes) only Gazprom has recaptured this money three times already. Even the Poles did not immediately enter why Gazprom immediately agreed to pay them)))

Hmm, uplifting, of course ...
Is it possible to justify this very epic victory of Gazprom over the presumptuous Polish masters in a little more detail and with figures? And then something is hard to believe, in threefold

[carstorm 11]

I said that this is a victory?) I said beat back. More than a year ago, whoever did not write that gas prices would jump sharply. Gazprom imagevo did not argue with this court decision, but paid the money right away than he brought the Poles into a stupor. Even here on VO you will find an article on how they searched for this motive. And in this perspective, Gazprom was right. The price has gone up very strongly. All market forecasts came true. Look for 20 years if you wish. And what does the upliftness have to do with it when it comes to a business with good planning and analysis? They did not win the pans at all, but simply pump out bonuses to the fullest out of a bad situation in the market. And this is just the beginning. It will be even more fun in the fall.

[Beringovsky]

Excellent judgments.

Quote: carstorm 11

Gazprom imagevo did not argue with this court decision, but paid the money right away than the Poles fell into a stupor ... we are talking about a business with good planning and analysis

Still not to lead the Poles into a stupor - they took and ... paid on the move one and a half billion dollars, without talking. Even the Poles did not expect such a brilliant move. It's no wonder that with this "planning and analysis", Gazprom's market capitalization has collapsed fivefold since 2011.
And yes, but if Gazprom had not paid, but began to sue the Poles, then would gas prices have gone up?
And why

Quote: carstorm 11

Gazprom imagevo did not argue

How the lost court raised the image of Gazprom is not clear?

[carstorm 11]

Everything. I'm tired. Capitalization fell after 08 years. The world crisis and almost 6 times drop. Then growth and again a fall at 14. The last three years, growth in rubles. I did not track statistics then and now everything is clear from the graphs. I began to follow after 14 years since the crisis in the country and since the dollar has fallen for obvious reasons. After there, there is stable growth. With a bunch of sanctions, restrictions, trade wars and courts. With inadequate transit and fines, growth. And I repeat once again, these are not victories. It is about using the opportunities that have opened up wisely.

[tralflot1832]

It's okay, the third quarter has begun. But when the fourth quarter starts, the pumping rate will drop by 3 times. Our hedgehog against their anaconda is more effective. Europe is being prepared for Nord Stream 4. And the price of transit through the Baltic is 4 times cheaper, and the distance is 2 km. In short, what do you think Europe will choose is clearly not Ukraine. The Germans know how to count, and we honestly can twist it. The non-reliability of Ukraine must be paid for in full. There is still a bomb. Gazprom held negotiations with Azerbaijan. The meaning is this. Europe has built southern gas transportation corridor, think about $ 2, but there is not enough gas. Erdogan wants cheap gas for the victory of Azerbaijan and he will receive it in full. everything else will be taken by the Turks so that we can twist our hands too. Here is to fix it. Gazprom will stir up exchange operations with Azerbaijan. In the summer they give us gas, and in the winter we give them something to pump into the pipe, otherwise brotherly Azerbaijan will freeze. Everyone is happy .Except uk rainy.This is how geopolitics is done. And the wolves are fed and the sheep are safe. Who has gas in Eurasia?

The meaning is this. Europe has built a southern gas transportation corridor, think about it for $ 45, but there is not enough gas.

They invested and hoped that they would then increase the capacity, but somehow it does not work out ... "We confirm that we have not received a single application as part of the 2019 market test," the operator of the Trans-Adriatic Gas Pipeline (TAP) told S&P Global Platts. the European section of the Southern Gas Corridor. Now the capacity of TAP is 10 billion cubic meters per year. And the operator offered to expand the gas pipeline capacity in market tests in a limited volume up to 14,4 billion cubic meters, partly - up to 17,1 billion cubic meters and full - up to 20 billion cubic meters. However, there were no volunteers in any of the options.

For some reason, Western fans do not comment on such punctures.

gas prices in Europe soared to levels approaching $ 500 per 1000 cubic meters.

At the same time, some of the German politicians are against SP-2. If "SP-2" does not function, then gas prices will still rise and then the German industry will come to a kirdyk due to its lack of competitiveness. Still, the Germans and other Europeans who receive gas from Russia need to think with their heads, and not with a political awl in one place.

Maybe someone just decided to stop feeding countries unfriendly to Russia with transit.

We would like to remind that earlier Gazprom refused to reserve additional volumes of gas transit through the Ukrainian gas transportation system.

And this is apparently a signal to the EU that it is time to help the SP-2 put into operation, otherwise it is possible to remain without totalitarian gas in the winter. We'll have to buy a democratic one at an undemocratic price tag.
