According to the "Guardian" reported on August 31, Russia stopped the operation of the main pipeline Beixi 1, the main pipeline Beixi 1 on the grounds of compressor needs to be maintained on the grounds of repair, which means that before September 3, it will not be no better than September 3rd. When natural gas flows to Germany, the rhythm of gas storage in Europe has been disrupted.

In April 2010, a Russian worker was completed at the Beixi 1 in Beixi 1 near St. Petersburg (the Source Associated Press)

Previously, in July, Beixi 1 was suspended due to the maintenance of 10 days. Compared with the last time, it was announced that it was not required in less than two weeks in advance, and it was implemented by Russian Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. instead of Beixi Co., Ltd., focusing on the last operation of the main operation of the gas supply station. At present, the official website of Beixi 1 operator shows that the traffic of the pipeline is zero.

In June of this year, Moscow reduced the supply capacity of Beixi 1 to 40%and reduced to 20%in July. It also said that because of maintenance and sanctions from EU countries, it hindered the return and installation of the equipment.

The report also said that Russia also cut off the supply of Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, and Poland, and reduced the traffic of other natural gas pipelines after the Russian -Ukraine conflict.

Claus Muller, President of the German Grid Regulatory Agency, said that the progress of the largest European economy in filling natural gas storage facilities is better than expected, but it is still not enough to overwhelm.

After reducing the traffic No. 1, the plan to store natural gas facilities throughout Europe is full of variables. This is a key strategic goal of surviving winter, because governments of various countries worry that Russia may completely stop gas supply.

At present, 83.26%of the storage tanks in Germany are full of natural gas, and 85%of the completion of 85%before October 1, but the country also issued a warning saying that unless the company and the family have greatly reduced natural gas consumption, it will leave November 1st on November 1st The goal of reaching 95%before is still very long.

As far as the entire European Union is concerned, the current storage level is 79.94%, which is only a few dollars when the target of 80%when heating is required on October 1.
