Equipment failure, closed indefinitely

Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. (Russia) said on the 2nd that due to the failure of multiple equipment, the "Beixi-1" natural gas pipeline will completely stop the gas transmission until the failure is eliminated.

On the same day, Russia posted a news on its social media account that during the inspection of the turbine of the "Poltova" air -stroke pressure station with the representatives of Siemens, he found multiple equipment leakage phenomena. The representative of Siemens signed the test report.

Russia said that the Russian Federal Ecology, Technology, and Atomic Energy Supervisory Bureau warned that the detected equipment failure and damage caused the turbine to operate safely without failure. Therefore, it is necessary to take appropriate measures and stop the turbine. In addition, the three turbines that had been repaired before were also found similar to oil leakage. These turbines are currently in a state of compulsory shutdown. Siemens said that only professional maintenance companies can completely eliminate oil leakage failures.

At the end of August, Russia announced that the "Beixi-1" pipeline was suspended from August 31 to September 3 due to the only turbine that is still running at the "Poltova" air station. After the maintenance work, the "Beixi-1" pipeline will be restored without a technical failure.

After Russia announced that the "Beixi-1" pipeline will completely stop the gas transmission, the German Ministry of Economic and Climate Protection issued a statement on the 2nd that the current situation of the natural gas market is very tight, but the supply of natural gas in Germany is still guaranteed. Germany's natural gas storage facilities have reached 84.3%, and the goal of reaching 85%in October is expected to be achieved in early September.

In mid-June this year, Russia ’s gas supply will be reduced to Germany’ s natural gas supply to Germany ’s natural gas on the grounds that Siemens did not pay back to Russia’ s air-to-renovation. Wanlian meter. On July 11, the "Beixi-1" pipeline suspended gas transmission, launched annual routine maintenance, and resumed gas supply on the morning of the 21st. On July 27th, another turbine of the "Beixi-1" pipeline "Poltova" air supply station stopped running. Essence

The "Beixi-1" natural gas pipeline was completed in 2011. It starts from Russia Veori in the east and leads to Germany via the Baltic sea. "Beixi-1" is currently Russia's main gas pipeline against Europe.
