Nord stream - 2 will work on the first stretch of January 1, 2020
the First line of the land branch of the gas pipeline "Nord stream 2" - Eugal - tested and 1 January 2020 will be put into operation, said in a press release the operator of the pipeline.
currently in the pipeline work on the dehydration, the report said.
Earlier it was reported that Gazprom has purchased for future distribution capacity in Germany for connection of the pipeline "Nord stream 2" to the European gas network.
Pipeline Eugal capacity of 48 billion cubic meters per year runs parallel Opal from Greifswald to the Czech border (point Douchedeur, Deutschneudorf). Participants in the building are the gas operators Fluxys, Gasunie, Ontras Gastransport GmbH, and Gascade Gastransport GmbH (JV of "Gazprom" and BASF).
on Tuesday, the company 2 the Nord Stream announced that it has completed the complex of works for laying pipes on sea and land plot in Russia.
Total capacity of the two strands of "Nord stream - 2" - 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Thus, the total design capacity of "Nord stream" and "Nord stream-2" is 110 billion cubic meters of fuel gas per year.
This is interesting:
200 000 pipes for the construction of "Nord stream – 2" is made of special steel, possessing great strength and elasticity. Inner surface of the pipe undergoes special processing to reduce the increased roughness of the metal below 6 microns. 1 micrometer is only 0.001 mm. This pipe is polished mechanically, and then the metal is applied antifriction coating.
