A sharp drop in pressure occurred in the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline for an unknown reason
There are reports that the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline experienced a sharp drop in pressure last night. It is reported that instead of the regulated 300 bar, the pressure is now about 7 atmospheres. This indicates that an accident could have occurred on one of the sections of the gas pipeline that runs along the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
It should be recalled that the SP-2 was filled with gas and could start pumping from Russia to Germany at almost any moment. Now this “option”, even if Germany would approve the pumping of gas through Nord Stream 2, is becoming unlikely, since the problem must at least be eliminated. And how long it may take, no one dares to say today. As yet, no one dares to say about what specifically caused such a serious drop in gas pressure. The reason is unknown.
According to the latest data, the problem could arise on the section of the gas pipeline located in Danish territorial waters. It is assumed that we can talk about underwater sabotage.
Regardless of what eventually turned out to be the cause of the problem with SP-2, it is already becoming clear that the situation on the European gas market is becoming even more complicated. Indeed, in the same Germany, despite the support of anti-Russian sanctions, they continued to “keep in mind” the opportunity “at the right time” to open the tap and start receiving gas through this pipeline from Russia. Now this option, apparently for Germany and all of Europe, is also swept aside.
