Siemens has exposed Russia's excuses: lubrication can not be the cause of the Nord Stream stop

The German company Siemens Energy stated that the reason for the full stop of the Nord Stream gas pipeline is "not a technical reason for stopping work". In the evening of September 2, Gazprom declared the termination of the first branch of the North Stream for an indefinite period - allegedly "due to the detection of oil leakage". However, Usiemens Energy explained that this is only a routine malfunction.

Video of the Day "As a turbine manufacturer, we can only state that such a conclusion [Gazprom] is not a technical reason for termination of work [all gas pipeline]. Such origins usually do not affect the work of turbines and can be eliminated on the spot, ”Siemens Energy said on September 2, which is quoted by DW. They point out that eliminating such problems is a routine operation within the framework of maintenance works.

In the past, the emergence of such origins did not lead to cessation of operation, the statement said. Currently, Siemens Energy is not engaged in wealth of the North Stream, but is ready to participate in technical works, added a German company, noting that there is enough additional turbines at the Portovo compressor station to work. The White House, responding to the situation, has already stated that Russia was using energy as a pressure tool on Europe.
