What can Europe do?Russian Qi easily takes off the responsibility of turning Qi in Qingbei: Siemens cannot be repaired

Rose Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. said on Saturday (September 3) that Germany Siemens is participating in the maintenance of Beixi-1 pipeline devices, detects faults and is preparing to repair them, but there is no place to perform maintenance.

The day before Russia issued the above statement, the company stated that before it was resolved by its detected turbine oil leakage, it would not restore natural gas to Germany through the Beixi-1 pipeline. Maintenance can only be carried out in a workshop specialized.

"Siemens is participating in maintenance according to the current contract and is detecting the failure ... It is ready to repair the oil leakage. It is only impossible to repair it," Russia wrote on Telegram.

Miller, President of Russia's Natural Gas Industry Corporation, also said that the German Siemens company cannot actually conduct a regular repair of turbine for the "Beixi" pipeline, and the company has nowhere to do this work.

According to Russian gas, it was discovered by the only turbine group technical maintenance of the "Poltova" air station with Siemens Company in Germany on Friday. The safe operation of the turbine has to shut down the entire natural gas pipeline. The representative of Siemens has signed the document to confirm the oil leakage.

Both sides shook each other

The Kremlin was accused on Friday that Western sanctions disrupted the operation of the Beixi-1 pipeline and set up obstacles to conventional maintenance.

Russian Presidential spokesman Peskov said that Russia's natural gas industry Co., Ltd. has no fault in the lack of technical reserves, and the lack of reserve will endanger the reliability of the entire system.

"There is no technical reserve, and only one turbine is working. Please think about it. In fact, no reserve is not a Russian natural gas industry shares. The work reliability of the entire system is threatened," Peskov said.

However, Siemens denied Russia's claim.

Siemens Energy said that the company has not been ordered to carry out the work, but can be sent to do it. The company added that the leakage of the Russian gas report usually does not affect the operation of the turbine and can be sealed at the scene. This is a routine procedure in maintenance. In the past, the occurrence of this type of leakage did not cause operation to stop.

A spokesman for Siemens said, "In any case, we have pointed out many times that there are enough extra turbines at Portova Avascular Station to run at Beixi No. 1."

What will happen without Beixi?

According to data from statistical agency Statista, in 2021, Beixi-1 natural gas conveying volume reached 59.2 billion cubic meters, which was 4.2 billion cubic meters higher than the annual conveying volume of the pipeline design. According to IEA statistics, the total amount of natural gas imported from Russia in the same year was 155 billion cubic meters. This also means that the Beixi-1 pipeline's conveying volume last year accounted for nearly 40%of the EU imports of Russia.

Since June, Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. has reduced the capacity of Beixi-1 pipelines, reduced the amount of gas transmission to 20%of the normal level, and caused the price of natural gas in Europe by more than doubled.

Once the Beixi-1 pipeline is completely suspended indefinitely, Europe is likely to be further forced into despair.

According to Russian gas data, Russia mainly exports natural gas to Europe through three pipeline routes:

The first is the Beixi-1 pipeline-enter Germany through the Baltic Sea and further enter the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom and other European countries;

The second is the Amal-European channel-to compress the gas station through Belarus to Poland, and then to MallNow in Germany;

Third, Velke Kapusany — via Ukraine to Slovakia, pipelines are exported to Czech, Austria, and further exported to Northern and Southern European countries.

Since the end of December 2021, except for the short-term recovery of westward gas transmission in early March this year, the "Amal-Europe" pipeline Poland to Germany has been in a state of anti-infusion-from Germany to Poland. This also means that Beixi is broken. Russia's gas supply to Europe will leaving only the main pipeline that pass Velke Kapusany to support it, and this pipeline's traffic is far lower than previous years.

Although the price of natural gas fell with the target of the EU in the winter heating season to achieve 80%before the arrival of the winter heating season. However, without Russia's normal export flow, it is not enough to meet the winter needs by relying on the storage natural gas inventory.

Germany and other large European economies have currently planned to reduce natural gas demand by 15%to avoid serious shortages, but they may still need to implement quantitative distribution, and the possibility of power outage this winter is getting greater.

Energy Ministers of EU countries will hold an emergency meeting in Brussels next Friday to further discuss their preparations for winter, including how to alleviate the impact of soaring natural gas prices on power costs.
