German natural gas operator: "North Stream-1" is only at the pre-maintenance level even if the gas supply is restored

The German natural gas operator said on the 20th that the 10-day routine maintenance work of the "North Stream-1" pipeline will end at 6:00 local time on the 21st, and it is estimated that the gas transmission volume will be consistent with the level before the routine maintenance

The German Kade Gas Transportation Company is responsible for the operation of the "Nord Stream-1" pipeline at two natural gas receiving points in the northern German town of Lubmin

Because the start-up of the facility is a very complex technical process, the full restoration of capacity could take hours and continue until late on the morning of the 21st, when actual volumes will be announced on its platform, Card Gas Transportation said

However, analysts believe that things could still change before the gas is actually delivered

Gazprom (Gazprom) said on social media on the 20th that since it has not yet received official documents from Germany's Siemens about guaranteeing the return of the turbines for repair, Gazprom has once again asked Siemens to provide such documents
