Gas flows will stabilise on Tuesday at low levels, according to information from the owners of the natural gas pipelines that transport it from Russia to Europe.
Data from the corporation in charge of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, which is the major route for transferring gas from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea, reveals to Bloomberg that it will pump at a pace of 14. The daily average pumping rate is currently 5 gigatonne-hours, or almost the same as it has been throughout this month.
Although Nord Stream 1’s actual working capacity is roughly 73 gigatonnes per day, Russian natural gas exporter Gazprom has reduced supplies to 20% as of July 27 from 40% in June.
According to a prior announcement by Gazprom, it is planned to totally suspend pumping via the line for a period of three days beginning on August 31.
Data from the Ukraine Gas Lines Network Corporation at the time showed that 42.
Through these pipes, 1 million cubic metres of Russian natural gas are anticipated to be pumped to Europe today, about equal to the daily average during the previous few weeks.
The operational capacity of Ukrainian lines is approximately 77.2 million cubic metres per day, but in reaction to sanctions placed on it by the European Union as a result of the conflict in Ukraine last February, Russia has decreased the amounts it pumps to Europe generally.
Today, there are hopes for a stable Russian natural gas supply to Europe.
