"Kommersant": "Gazprom" was going to mothball the transfer of gas to the "Nord Streams"

Gazprom is going to mothball the gas pumping equipment at the Portovaya and Slavyanskaya compressor stations, which supplied fuel to the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines.

According to Kommersant, citing sources familiar with the company's plans, the equipment is planned to be left at the stations, if necessary, it can be launched again as soon as possible. At the port, nine gas pumping units were used - a turbine and a compressor. Six Siemens SGT-A65s and three smaller power SGT-A3s. On "Slavyanskaya" - 11 GPA-32 "Ladoga".

Experts consider conservation to be a logical step, since the resumption of work on the pipeline will not begin soon, and there is nowhere to transfer unique units from Portovaya. The conservation work will cost 2-3 billion rubles and will last 3-5 months.

Recall that the emergency on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines happened in September 2022. The reason for the drop in pressure in the pipes was sabotage. Unidentified people organized a series of underwater explosions that provoked pipe ruptures and large-scale gas leaks.
