Operator releases gas from undamaged Baltic Sea pipeline

The operator of the Baltic Sea pipeline Nord Stream 2 releases part of the gas that is still contained in the intact pipe. It is correct that the pressure is being reduced, a spokesman for Nord Stream 2 AG confirmed on Thursday in the Swiss canton of Zug. This is essentially a precautionary measure after the damage to the three remaining Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. So far, the pressure of 105 bar required for operation has been maintained.

According to the information, gas began to be discharged from the pipeline on Tuesday. This process will take about eight days. Nord Stream 2 AG did not provide any information on how high the pressure should be in the future. The safety of the gas line is therefore not endangered by the reduced pressure: "That's not a Coke can," said the Nord Stream 2 spokesman.

The Danish energy authority reported on Twitter on Wednesday that Nord Stream 2 had informed them that the Russian state-owned company Gazprom was currently reducing the pressure in tube B – the undamaged one. In the process, gas is extracted that is used instead in the greater St. Petersburg area. Nord Stream 2 AG is a subsidiary of Gazprom.

Last week, a total of four underwater leaks were found on the two Nord Stream pipelines, and enormous amounts of gas escaped for days. The EU and NATO assume sabotage.

Gas is still leaking from the damaged Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea. This is preventing a thorough investigation into the cause of the leaks at the moment. August Hanning, former head of the Federal Intelligence Service, is confident "that it will be discovered who the originator was."
