  1. I would like to briefly thank Mr. Eyl-Mazzega for his overview of the gas market, although we categorically disagree with him. Nord Stream 1 and 2 —

  2. We can say with certainty that it will be a very complex task technically. The first step is to physically inspect the rupture sites. In general, a situation with simultaneous ruptures in three lines of offshore pipelines on the same day is truly unprecedented. Europe has essentially been indefinitely deprived of a key route for the delivery of a crucial energy resource. Russia and Gazprom invested a great deal of effort and money to construct and launch those pipelines because that is the shortest and the safest — as we thought — route for Russian gas to reach European consumers. The pipelines are currently ruptured.

  3. The data on the sudden drop in pressure and gas leaks allow us to say with confidence that the depressurization of the pipelines was caused by physical damage. Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 are modern, high-tech and ultra-reliable offshore gas pipelines. Years of safe operation have proved the flawlessness of the technical solutions used. In constructing the pipelines, several centimetres of ultra-strong steel pipes in a special reinforced-concrete casing were used. At the time of the incident, gas was not being transported through the pipelines for various reasons, but they were in a fully operational state. We have now started to search for possible solutions to make the Nord Stream system operational once again. At the moment, it is not possible to estimate the time frame for the work to restore the system.

  4. While the pressure before the incident had been 165 bar, it subsequently dropped to 8 bar. The site of one of the ruptures in Nord Stream 1 is in the Danish exclusive economic zone, 54 kilometres north-east of the island of Bornholm. From there, the distance along the pipeline is 218 kilometres to the German coast and 1,005 kilometres to the Russian coast. The site of the other rupture is in the Swedish exclusive economic zone, 59 kilometres north-east of Bornholm, 224 kilometres from the German coast and 999 kilometres from the Russian coast along the pipeline. The two ruptures are therefore several kilometres apart. It is estimated that about 800 million cubic metres of gas were in the three lines of the pipeline at the time of the ruptures. By comparison, that represents Danish consumption over three months.

  5. Central European Time, the gas pipeline onshore dispatcher recorded a pressure drop in Line A of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Earlier, at about 2 a.m. Central European Time, the pressure drop started to be recorded by the Gascade system. The pressure dropped rapidly from 103 bar to 7 bar in the German section. The site of the rupture is in the Danish economic zone, 25 kilometres south-east of the island of Bornholm. The distance along the pipeline is 153 kilometres to the German coast and 1,081 kilometres to the Russian coast. Later that day, two more ruptures occurred, this time on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline. At 7.12 p.m. Central European Time, Nord Stream 1’s control centre dispatchers recorded a simultaneous pressure drop in both lines of the gas pipeline.

  6. On 26 September, in the space of one day, breaks occurred in three branches of the Nord Stream pipeline system in the Baltic Sea, specifically in both branches of Nord Stream 1 and one of the two branches of Nord Stream 2. The Nord Stream pipelines are offshore gas pipelines, each approximately 1,200 kilometres long, built to deliver a reliable supply of Russian gas directly to Europe. The pipelines have a total projected annual capacity of 110 billion cubic metres of gas per year, which is a quarter of the gas consumption in the European Union and the power supply for 52 million European households. Nord Stream 1 has provided nearly half a trillion cubic metres of gas to European consumers since 2011. I will now provide more details about what happened on 26 September. At about 6 a.m.
