Gazprom's decision to completely shut down the Nord Stream gas pipeline for several days caused alarm in Europe

The Russian company Gazprom has decided to completely stop the operation of the Nord Stream gas pipeline for several days. The press service of Gazprom reports that on August 31 the last unit used to pump gas through the Nord Stream will be decommissioned. The unit operates at the Portovaya compressor station, where the operation of other similar units was previously stopped.

According to Gazprom's press service, gas will not be pumped through SP-1 for three days. At this time, maintenance of the gas pipeline will be carried out, as well as scheduled preventive work.

After September 2, the unit is reported to be put into operation. At the same time, it is noted that work with the turbine will be carried out jointly with representatives of the German company Siemens.

After the unit is put into operation, the pumping will be no more than 33 million cubic meters of gas per day. This is despite the fact that the maximum throughput capacity of the pipeline transporting Russian gas to Europe is about 165-167 million cubic meters.

In Europe, they have already reacted to the announcement of Gazprom to completely stop the pumping of "blue fuel" through the Nord Stream in late August - early September. News caused alarm among the Europeans. German experts believe that this will lead to another jump in gas prices and will reduce the ability of Germany, first of all, to fill underground gas storage facilities to at least 80% of their volume. To fill them 100%, a throughput capacity of 33 million cubic meters of gas is not enough, since gas, for obvious reasons, goes not only to underground storage facilities, but also directly to consumers, including large industrial enterprises. Moreover, this gas is not only for Germany.

The management of dozens of German industrial enterprises notes that with gas prices above 2,5 thousand dollars per 1000 cubic meters, their production becomes uncompetitive not only in the external, but even in the domestic market. At the same time, it is added that if the government does not come to an agreement with the Russian company, then by the end of the year the German industrial sector can expect reductions that will exceed the figures that were typical for 2020 - the year of the pandemic.

            Now, if they also decided to disassemble the SP-2 pipe indicatively, here we would see a circus with horses. And if you announce that they will dismantle it with a twisting of the pipe to Kaliningrad, then there would be revolutions in the geyropa. It is high time to provide Kaliningrad with a pipe and release gas carriers for Asia.

        The energy package is under agreements about intentions.

    Let me ask dear "Gazprom" - and not "weakly" disconnect Europe from gas not for a few days, but for several months? After all, the domestic media broadcast "excitedly" and from all irons that we, now, have money, like a "fool of shag" - sticks out of all cracks and that the ruble (in relation to "enemy" currencies) is in a state of constant erection without any the use of financial sildenafil by Ms. Nabiullina.... When, if not now, to try to take the West "on pain" and speed up the process of its return to a normal understanding of the world and negotiability. And there, you see, the NWO will go "more cheerfully" without the supply of Western weapons and loans to the Ukrofascists and the lifting of all sanctions against Russia. Of course, such a strong move will cause some "degreasing" of "Gazprom" and the state. budget, but we will tolerate ... But, it seems to me, the effect will be amazing. "Gazprom" - the ball is in your half! Offer the Supreme to show Europe "who is the boss" now ... Something like this ....
