Russian Qi: "Beixi-1" device faults, there is an explosion risk

Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. (Russia) said on September 5 that the "Beixi-1" natural gas pipeline equipment failed to fire and explode.

On the same day, Russia posted news on social media that the "Beixi-1" pipeline "Poltova" gas station is now a "dangerous operating facility". explode.

Russia said that similar oil leaks have occurred before, and the problems later exacerbated and the scope expanded. "This problem with multiple devices means that it has systemic characteristics."

Russia quoted turbine manufacturers in Germany Siemens, saying that oil leakage failures can only be excluded by professional maintenance companies.

On the 2nd, Russia said that the only turbine that was running at the "Poltova" gas station had any failure such as oil leakage, which would be suspended until it was repaired. In addition, the three turbines that had been repaired before were also found to be similar to oil leakage. These turbines were already in a state of compulsory shutdown.

"Beixi-1" was previously Russia's main gas pipeline against Europe. After the shutdown, the price of natural gas in Europe rose sharply, and the euro exchange rate fell to the lowest level on the 5th. Reuters reports that this has brought another impact on the European economy that is still trying to hit from the epidemic, which exacerbates the public's concerns about economic recession.

In response to the shortage of energy, many European countries have to take measures to seek self -help. Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov reiterated on the 5th that the problem of "Beixi-1" gas transmission was completely the result of Western sanctions, because sanctions caused pipeline components to be repaired and transported under the circumstances of obtaining legal guarantees.
