Putin: In Europe, "Beixi-2" can be enabled, but half of them have been used in Russia

According to Reuters reported on the 19th, two sources said that after the annual maintenance of the "Beixi-1" natural gas pipeline, it will resume operations on time this Thursday and continue to transport Russian natural gas to the European region, but the gas supply will be less than less than the gas supply, but the gas supply will be less than less than the gas supply, but the gas supply will be less than less than the gas supply, but the gas supply will be less than less than that It is 160 million cubic meters per day.

It is reported that the volume of the "Beixi-1" pipeline accounts for more than one-third of Russia's export of natural gas to the EU. The pipeline stopped confession on July 11 for a 10 -day annual maintenance work.

It is worth mentioning that before the annual maintenance began, Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Russian Qi") had reduced the gas supply of the "Beixi-1" pipeline to about 40%in mid-June. It is a pipeline turbine component that Germany did not return to Russia in time.

According to Tas Society, Russian President Putin, who is visiting Iran, said on the 19th that if the turbine components sent to the repair are still not returned to the Russian side, the "Beixi-1" pipeline will transport only 30 million cubic meters of natural gas per day instead of not Previous 60 million cubic meters. Putin pointed out that Russia has not received any official documents, indicating that the turbine of "Beixi-1" will soon return to Russia from Canada.

When it comes to solving the current European energy crisis, Putin proposes to enable the "Beixi-2" natural gas pipeline to increase the supply of natural gas to Europe. However, he pointed out that half of the natural gas originally scheduled to be transported by "Beixi-2" has now been changed to allocate for Russia. Therefore, even if the pipeline is started immediately, the natural gas supply to Europe cannot reach the design of the pipeline's design annual gas transmission capacity of 55 billion cubic meters, and can only supply half of this number to Europe.

In addition, Putin also said that Russian gas has been fulfilling the obligations of natural gas supply and will continue to do so. However, he said that Western countries are seeking to pass the mistakes in the field of energy policy to Russia, especially Russia. He said: "I don't know if the energy policy of European countries is worthy of in detail. Regardless of the importance of traditional energy, they bet on non -traditional energy ... In the energy field, they choose to invest in non -traditional types of energy: solar energy, Wind energy. But winter is very long, there is no wind yet, that's it. "
