"Beixi No. 1" natural gas pipeline is restored to life?Russian Qi: "Established", it cannot guarantee that European supply cannot be guaranteed

Russia's main natural gas pipeline "Beixi No. 1" was originally scheduled to complete the maintenance on July 21. According to Reuters, Russian Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. issued a letter to European customers, announcing that the "force majeure" factor could not guarantee the supply of natural gas, which caused Russia to break the haze of natural gas to Europe.

On the occasion of the severe energy crisis in Europe, Feng Delin, chairman of the EU Alliance Executive Committee, visited Azerbaijan to seek Qi on the 18th. At present, the European Union and Azerbaijan have signed memo, and Azerbaijan agrees to supply the EU more naturally. In addition, Zelei delivered a TV speech on Sunday and once again called on Canada not to pay the "Beixi No. 1" turbine, but Canada ignored the meeting that Russian media pointed out that it was sent to Russia for about a week.

Russia is called "force majeure" and cannot guarantee European supply

Reuters reports that the date of this letter from Russia's natural gas industry Co., Ltd. to European customers is July 14th. The letter mentioned in the case that the "force majeure" clause was quoted. Essence "Pust -resistant" is the exemption clause in the commercial contract, indicating that it is not foreseeable, unavoidable, and unpredictable.

Rhein Group, Germany's largest energy supplier, is one of the customers who have received notifications. The Group has officially stated that Russia's statement is unreasonable, but it has not been able to comment on details and disclose its legal opinions.

Reuters quoted the news that the "Beixi No. 1" natural gas pipeline was affected, which is the main supply channels of Russia to Germany and even the entire Europe. This pipeline began to repair the year on July 11 and was originally scheduled to be completed on the 21st. Europe has been worried that Russia has been sanctioned to revenge for the Ukrainian war and does not allow pipelines to restore the operation.

As early as June 14, the Russian Qi Company has greatly reduced the power of "Beixi No. 1" to about 40 %, because the gas compression unit sent to Canada for maintenance was delayed. Sending it back to Germany, it is expected to arrive in Russia for another five to seven days. A spokesman for the German Ministry of Economic Affairs said that this unit is a substitute component, which was originally scheduled to be put into use in September, which cannot be the real reason for reducing gas transmission.

Hungary negotiated with Russia, asking for the "Turkish Creek" to infuse the gas

In order to ensure energy security, Hungarian Foreign Minister and Minister of Trade Seven Drop revealed that it is negotiating with Russia to bring the natural gas supply "Turkey Creek" in the long -term supply agreement between the two parties and enter Hungary via Serbia.

If "Beixi No. 1" has not resumed gas supply on the 22nd, it has a profound impact on Germany and Europe. The first is that the factory faces the distribution, which may be forced to stop and disrupt the European supply chain. In addition, the production of the petrochemical industry, steel, copper and ceramics will also be seriously affected. Europe may fall into a deep decline. At the end of next year, the GDP of the euro zone will evaporate nearly 6%.

There is also the increase in winter heating pressure. The data shows that the European natural gas library was 62.32%last week, with average value of nearly five years. The European Union may further increase the import of natural gas in the United States, which has caused natural gas supply in Asia and other places to be affected, and European environmental protection policies have helpless to comprehensively retreat.

Azerbai

Since the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine War, Russia has significantly reduced its natural gas supply to the EU, exacerbating the European energy crisis, and forcing the EU to find another supply. Recently, the European Union and Azerbaijan have signed memo, and Azerbaijan agrees to double the number of natural gas supplied to the EU.

Feng Delin, the chairman of the European Commission, said that in order to cooperate with the increase in gas supply, the gas transmission volume of the energy corridor in southern Europe will increase from 8.1 billion cubic meters to 12 billion cubic meters and reaches 20 billion cubic meters in a few years. Feng Delin also bluntly stated that because Russia's supply is no longer reliable, the European Union needs to turn to other sources including Azerbaijan.
