"Beixi-1" will "break the flow" again, Germany's sad response

Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. (Russia) said on the 19th that the "Beixi-1" natural gas pipeline will stop the gas supply for 3 days as the only operating compressor will be maintained and maintained.

This will be the second time the "Beixi-1" pipeline has recently "broken flow", and European countries such as Germany are increasingly worried about the energy crisis facing this winter.

Re -repair

On the 19th, Russia wrote on the "telegram" of the social media that the "Beixi-1" pipeline Portaaa Press Station is currently the only operating compressor from the 31st to the 2nd to 2nd month. The natural gas transported by the pipeline will be suspended for 3 days.

According to Russian gas, after the maintenance is completed, if there is no technical failure, the current gas supply will be restored, that is, 33 million cubic meters per day.

Russia said that according to the contract, the routine maintenance will be completed with many experts in Siemens in Germany on the 31st. For maintenance matters, Siemens has not commented on.

Poltovaya Pressure Station is close to the starting point of the "Beixi-1" pipeline Russia. This natural gas pipeline was built in 2011. It leads to Germany via the Baltic sea to Germany and transports natural gas to many countries in Europe.

On November 8, 2011, in the northern German city of Rubina, the "Beixi" natural gas pipeline connected by Russia was officially put into use. This is the "Beixi" natural gas pipeline terminal (taken on November 7) in the "Beixi" in the ruble. Xinhua News Agency (Figure Plan at Beixi Company)

Recently, the storm around the "Beixi-1" pipeline has continued. In mid-June, Russian gas will be reduced by Siemens in a timely manner on the grounds that the turbines did not return the turbine in time, and the natural gas supply to Germany through the "Beixi-1" pipeline will be reduced by nearly 60%, and the daily supply of gas does not exceed 67 million cubic meters. According to Siemens, the turbine was sent to Canada for maintenance, and it was unable to be returned due to Canada's sanctions on Russia.

The "Beixi-1" pipeline began routine maintenance and suspension of gas in the year from July 11, and resumed gas transmission on July 21. Affected by another turbine at the Poltova Press Station, the daily gas supply of the "Beixi-1" pipeline was reduced from 67 million cubic meters to 33 million cubic meters, which was about 20%of the maximum gas supply.

Natural gas required by Germany relies heavily on Russia. After the Ukrainian crisis was upgraded, Western countries imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia, and natural gas supply from Russia decreased sharply. The German government announced on June 23 that the second -level "alert" of the emergency plan for natural gas lack was launched.

Worry

The German Ministry of Economic and Climate Protection said in a statement on the 19th that it will work closely with the Federal Network Bureau of the Energy Supervision Agency to pay attention to the development of the situation. "The natural gas flow of" Beixi-1 "remains unchanged, and it is still 20%of the maximum gas supply."

According to a number of international media reports, the news that "Beixi-1" has interrupted the confession has exacerbated the worry of European countries. These countries are worried that Russia may completely cut off natural gas supply in winter.

Focusing on how to cope with the shortage of natural gas, some members of Germany held different views and caused controversy.

Voltic Democratic Democratic Vice President Wolfgang Curry Biki believes that it should currently turn its attention to the "Beixi-2" pipeline project to cope with the lack of supply. However, the Curdier's remarks attracted a lot of criticism on the 19th, including the Liberal Democratic Party. The German federal government is composed of the Social Democratic Party, the Green Party and the Liberal Democratic Party.

The Liberal Democratic Party Leader Christian Dier said in an interview with the German News Agency that the parliament is densely discussing how to deal with the energy crisis that is about to face this winter. in".

In Dir's view, the "Beixi-2" pipeline "send an error signal to European partners". He called on the parliament to allow the last three nuclear power plants to be suspended at the end of the year to continue operation.

A spokesman for the Social Democratic Party pointed out that the Big Big was confused by Russia's propaganda offensive. The problem was not the lack of natural gas pipelines, but that Russia refused to increase gas supply.

"Beixi-2" is another pipeline that Russia transports natural gas to Germany via the Baltic Sea. Russia announced the completion of the "Beixi-2" pipeline project last September. Western countries such as Ukraine and the United States oppose this project. Affected by the upgrading of the Ukrainian crisis, Germany stopped the approval process of the "Beixi-2" pipeline project.
