Leakage on -site map announcement
According to the latest news of AFP, the Danish military announced on the 27th that the "Beixi" natural gas pipeline maritime pipeline was leaked near the Danish Bonholm.
According to Reuters, the bubbles at the leakage of the "Beixi 2" natural gas pipeline rose to the surface of the Baltic Sea to form a "bubble ring" with a diameter of more than 1 kilometer.

The explosion was detected near the leakage point
Denmark Prime Minister is called "deliberate destruction"
Comprehensive reporters from Xinhua News Agency abroad reported that the Swedish Measurement Station detected two strong underwater explosions in the same waters on the 26th in the same waters in the "Beixi-1" and "Beixi-2" natural gas pipelines. Denmark Prime Minister Frazericsen said on the evening of the 27th that the leakage of the "Beixi" natural gas pipeline was not a "accident" but "deliberately destroying".
According to Swedish TV reports on the 27th, the two explosions occurred at 03 and 17:04 at 03:00 on the 26th of Green Time, and the Swedish Maritime Affairs Bureau subsequently issued warnings on gas leakage. Jeon Londe, an associate professor of earthquakes in the Sweden National Earthquake Network, said that being able to clearly see how the waves in the incoming waters rebound from the bottom to the surface, which means "the explosion occurred." One of the explosions produced a magnitude 2.3 earthquake, and the 30 measured stations in southern Sweden were detected.
Frezriksen said at a press conference on the evening of the 27th that according to the comprehensive assessment of Denmark -related agencies, the leakage of the "Beixi" natural gas pipeline was not "accidents" but "deliberately destroying".

The Denmark Energy Agency confirmed on the 27th that a leakage point was found shortly after the "Beixi-2" pipeline near Denmark's waters on the 26th, and two leakage points were found in the "Beixi-1" pipeline, which were located in the waters near Denmark and Sweden. Danish Energy Agency Director said in the news bulletin that it is extremely rare for natural gas pipelines.
The Danish Maritime Agency has issued a sailing warning and established a ship's forbidden area of 5 nautical miles near the Danish waters and a banned area of 1 kilometer. The Swedish Maritime Affairs Bureau also issued a sailing warning, requiring that all past vessels must keep a distance from the leakage point of more than 5 nautical miles until they notice separately.

The Ministry of Internal Celery in Germany: "Beauty attaches great importance to" Beixi "pipelines
After the leakage incident occurred in the "Beixi-2" and "Beixi-1" natural gas pipelines, the German Ministry of Internal Citizens said on the 27th that the cause of the damage of the pipeline was "attached great importance", and the cause of the accident was still under investigation.
The German Earthquake Research Center stated that the seizure of Bonholm, Danish Danish recorded twice on the 26th, once at 2:04 in the morning, and the second time at 19:04, but Bayholm Island No earthquakes occurred nearby.
A spokesman for the German Federal Ministry of the Interior said the department's damage to pipelines "attaches great importance to", and the federal government is maintaining close contact with the German security department, as well as the Danish and Swedish governments. Poland, Denmark, and Ukraine believe that there are signs that the pipeline may be artificially destroyed. Russia does not rule out any possibilities. The "Beixi-2" pipeline operator said that the design and layout methods of pipelines are unlikely to be damaged at the same time.
German media reported that the damage to the "Beixi-1" pipeline and the "Beixi-2" pipeline may be more serious than expected, which may cause turmoil in the European natural gas market. Although no natural gas is transported through the pipeline, it is transported through the pipeline, but Uncertainty has increased, and the price of natural gas may also rise.

Russian Energy Security Expert: Maintenance takes several months
On September 27, local time, the North Stream AG, which is responsible for the construction and operation of the "Beixi" natural gas pipeline, issued a statement saying that the three branches of Beixi natural gas pipeline were also destroyed at the same time. Qi cannot predict.
On the 26th, Russian media reported that "Beixi-1" and "Beixi-2" natural gas pipelines had an accident. According to preliminary estimates of Russian energy security experts, these two pipelines have been destroyed, and the two pipelines will take several months to repair these two pipelines.

The opening of the "Beixi-2" project is difficult
"Beixi-2" was completed last year. Due to the obstruction of the United States and Western sanctions, it was not put into use, but some natural gas seals were still in the pipeline. According to Reuters, when the German government announced the suspension of the "Beixi-2" project approval process at the beginning of this year, the pipeline had been charged with 300 million cubic meters of natural gas.
The above two companies are located in Switzerland, which are established by Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. (Russian Gas) and cooperated with European investors. However, as the Western Ukrainian situation was upgraded to Russia, the European energy company involved in the investment of "Beixi-2" has successively withdrawn, and Beixi Natural Gas Pipeline Second Line Company has applied for bankruptcy.
On May 18, the Chairman of the European Commission Feng Delin announced in Brussels, Belgium, announced a total investment plan of about 300 billion euros, hoping to work together in the next few years to reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels and take the opportunity to speed up clean energy transformation.

According to the Denmark Ministry of Energy's report on the 26th, the "Beixi-2" pipelines in Danish jurisdictions that the leakage gas leaked into the Baltic Sea on the same day may obstruct the safety of navigation. Row. The leakage situation is expected to not affect the safety of Danish natural gas supply.
Claus Miller, director of the Federal Network Bureau of German Energy Regulatory Agency, said on social media that the "Beixi-1" and "Beixi-2" pipelines appeared on the same day to highlight the "tight situation."
The bureau said that the German side did not know the cause of pressure, but the safe supply of natural gas in Germany was not affected, and the current gas storage volume has reached about 91%of the maximum capacity.
"Beixi-2" is basically parallel to the main pipeline of the "Beixi-1" opened in 2012. Starting from the port of Russia, via the Baltic sea to Germany, and then exported Russian natural gas to other European countries through the gas transmission network in Europe. Essence The design capacity of these two major pipelines is the same, and the annual gas infusion can reach 55 billion cubic meters.
The natural gas market of many European Union has long relied on Russia's supply. Russia has supplying Qi to Europe through multiple pipelines for decades. In the past, a considerable part of Russia had transformed through pipelines in Ukraine. Ukraine gets a lot of transit fees every year.

In recent years, Russia-Ukraine relations have become more intense. Therefore, Russia has built a few other transmission pipelines that bypass Ukraine, including "Beixi-1" and "Turkish Creek" that have been opened to ensure that the gas supply to Europe is not subject to Ukraine. "Beixi-2" can originally double the gas transmission of Russia to Germany. Even if Ukraine fully close the transit pipeline, it can also ensure that Russia's natural gas supply to Germany and other European countries has stabilized. But affected by geopolitical factors, this Russian European energy cooperation project was shelved.
The U.S. government has continuously obstructed the opening of the "Beixi-2" project. Two days before Russia launched special military operations on Ukraine on February 24, the German government announced the suspension of approval procedures for the project.
As the United States and Europe continued to step up sanctions, the Russian side has significantly reduced the gas supply to Europe through the "Beixi-1" from mid-June. At the end of August, it was announced that it was suspended due to pipeline maintenance. At the moment, many European countries are facing the shortage of natural gas supply and a high price, and they are looking for alternative gas sources. The Russian government called for the use of "Beixi-2" to get rid of the current energy crisis, but was rejected by the European Union.
The "Beixi-2" project is controversial in Denmark. Denmark passed the law on the grounds of security, and in 2017, the pipeline line of the project could be prohibited from passing through its collar. However, the project party later changed the original laid route and passed through the Danish sea exclusive economic zone to avoid relevant legal restrictions.
The next day the "Beixi" air leakage incident, Danish Prime Minister Met Frazericsen was preparing to go to Poland to participate in the opening ceremony of the Baltic pipeline in Norway to Poland. Norway is a large country in European gas production and exports. It is currently one of the main targets of help for "reducing Russian energy dependence" for EU countries.
