Nord Stream gas pipeline restarts, operator says
The Russian
Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline has restarted with gas flowing from Russia to
Germany after maintenance, according to data viewed this morning.
Nominations
on the pipeline for gas flows from Russia into Germany were at 29,284,591 kwh/h
for 6am - 7am CET, from zero previously, data from the operator’s website
obtained by Reuters showed.
Data for
actual physical flows for the same time period have not been updated, and are
at zero for the 4am - 5am CET period.
Operator
Nord Stream AG said that gas started flowing again Thursday morning but the
flow would take a while to ramp up, German news agency dpa reported.
“It’s
working,” a Nord Stream spokesman told Agence France-Presse, without specifying
the amount of gas being delivered.
Gas flows
via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline into the OPAL and NEL connection points in
Germany stood at 0 kilowatt hours per hour on July 21 for the hour of 5am - 6am
CET, data from the pipeline operator showed on Thursday.
The Nord
Stream 1 pipeline to Germany had been closed since 11 July for annual
maintenance work. German officials feared that the pipeline — the country’s
main source of Russian gas, which has accounted for around a third of Germany’s
gas supplies — might not reopen at all.
