First thread “Northern Flow-2” began to fill in gas

The first thread of the North Stream-2 gas pipeline began to fill in gas. This is reported by the NORD Stream 2 operator.

“Thread will gradually fill in gas to achieve the volume and pressure necessary for further technical testing,” the report says. The company indicated that the gas pipeline “was built and passed independent certification in accordance with applicable technical and sectoral standards to ensure its reliable and safe operation.” Works on the second thread continue.

On September 10, the head of Gazprom, Alexey Miller, announced the end of the construction of the “Northern Flow-2”. The capacity of the gas pipeline will be 55 billion cubic meters per year.
