The pipelines suffered at least three major leaks, due to suspected sabotage.

Blasts detected near Nord Stream pipelines amid leak – Swedish seismologists

Scientists in Denmark and Sweden registered underwater explosions near the Nord Stream pipelines on Monday, when several major leaks were reported. Sabotage is now suspected as a key reason for the damage.

“There is no doubt that these were explosions,” seismologist Bjorn Lund with Sweden’s National Seismology Centre (SNSN) told public broadcaster SVT on Tuesday.

The Danish military released aerial footage of the leaks, showing large spots and visible bubbling in the water. Nord Stream 1 suffered two leaks northeast of the Danish island of Bornholm, while Nord Stream 2 was damaged south of Dueodde, a beach located at the island’s southernmost tip, the military noted.

Earlier in the day, Moscow said it has been looking into the reasons behind the leaks, suggesting the pipelines were targeted in an act of sabotage. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that currently “no option can be ruled out” on the causes of the incident.

The Nord Stream 1 pipeline was completed in 2011. Construction work on Nord Stream 2 began in 2018, and suffered numerous delays due to political pressure and sanctions from the US. The pipeline was finished and pressurized in September 2021, but never actually got online.

Two days before the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, the German government put its certification on indefinite hold, and has repeatedly rejected any suggestions, both domestic and from Moscow, to open the pipeline.

I believe Norway itself produces shitloads of Nat gas (4th in world after Russia, Qatar, US), why does it need to be shipped to there from Halifax?


Because all the talks have been about replacing Russian gas with LNG shipment from the US. Halifax was actually a very optimistic loading location, as the gas pipeline through New England is already severely capacity-limited in winter even without any offloading onto tankers in Halifax. Any loading port south of NYC would add 1000+ miles shipping distance, requiring 33+% more tankers for the same flow rate.


The flows from Norway along with supplies via liquefied gas terminals are central to Poland's plan. The country was cut off from Russian gas supplies in April, allegedly for refusing to pay in roubles.


The plan might be freezing locals to death, so the banksters don't have to pay back deposits. 50 million population (Poland and Baltics) need much more than 6.5 billion cubic meters in a year. In USDA Zone-5 weather, summer vs. winter gas usage are entirely different. In my Zone-6 (10 degrees warmer than Zone-5) house, winter per day gas usage is nearly 20x that of summer. LNG shipment is a joke compared to the scale of big pipelines like Nordstream-1. The Norway-Poland pipeline can replace about 11% of NS-1, the LNG shipment can perhaps replace 2%. What's to replace the remaining 87% requirement?

For some real numbers, my house is kept to 68-degrees in winter in the warmest part of Zone-6. So a Zone-5 comparable house kept to 60-degrees F would consume at least comparable amount of natural gas as mine, 3500 cubic meters in a year, with 60% of that consumed in the three months of winter. Assuming those nearly 50 million people are packed into 10 million homes comparable to mine (5 people to a household, very high density assumption), that requires 35 billion cubic meters in a year, with about 20 billion cubic meters in the 3 months of winter. At significantly lower than 60F indoor temperature, a lot of people are going to get sick and die from cold.

Felix Eick, Welt Reporter, on Why Dismantling Nord Stream Means Cutting Putin's "Arteries of Power"

Back in August, before the Nord Stream attacks, it was possible even for dim Green journalists to see that destroying the pipelines would be to Russia's disadvantage. ...

Two months ago, even arrant fools like Felix Eick could see that destroying Nord Stream would hurt Russia. Now that somebody has actually destroyed Nord Stream (or the better part of it), we have to read harebrained theory upon harebrained theory about why Russia is actually responsible and how the end of these pipelines confers an overwrought twelve-dimensional chess advantage to Putin or helps Gazprom escape hypothetical lawsuits or permits Russia to escape sanctions.

In 2020 Lithuania imported about 1.5M tons of LNG via Butinge. They will have more now via the new pipeline.


Lithuanian has a population of less than 3 million. 1.5M ton of LNG is equivalent to about 2 billion cubic meters of NG. At that ratio, 38 million Poles need 26 billion cubic meters of NG. The new pipe line from Norway to Poland can only deliver 6.5 billion cubic meters in all of 2023.
149   socal2   2022 Sep 30, 4:20pm  

Pretty reasonable argument suggesting that the pipeline explosion was an accident due to Russia's legendary incompetence.

- Gas kept in the pipe for months and months which could form hydrate crystals that could cause an explosion while Russia tried to drain the pipe.
- 2 explosions 17 hours apart relatively close together? What type of attack is that knowing that Russia would have had vessels at the site within short order?
- Russia is not making a big fuss blaming Ukraine or screaming at the UN about it.

Thanks for the info, which makes the situation even more dire than my analysis above showed.

Your analysis was so dire, I figured something must be off. Then I hit on this:
Tanker capacities are sometimes stated in cubic meters, but this can be confusing because this is cubic meters of liquid not gas.
Using the conversions from this page, I calculated that an average LNG tanker (150,000 cm) contains 94.4 million cubic meters of uncompressed gas. Perhaps some one can check my work. So the methane expands over 629 times from its volume at -162 deg C (LNG transport temperature). The 43,333 tanker-loads is replaced by a more reasonable 69 trips. I think....

From this page, looks like I am in the right neighborhood:
The LNG carriers are two units with capacity of 174 thousand cubic meters each, which means the size of the cargo that each vessel will be able to transport is approximately 100 mcm after regasification.

I see. That's very good news indeed. Sub-100 round trips by the tanker fleet is much more feasible than 40k+ round trip by worldwide total of 641 tankers (many of which, perhaps the majority, are smaller than 150k cubic meters).

That solves the 6.5 billion cubic meter (gas) pipeline feed source, sufficient for the three Baltic States (less than 10 million population combined). Poland needs about 26 billion cubic meters (gas) for its 38 million population, and Germany needs about 55 billion cubic meters (gas) for its 80+ million population. About half of the annual total has to be delivered in the winter season.

That explanation makes no sense: there is not nearly enough oxidizer in the pipeline to create an explosion that would register 2+ on the Richter Scale. A 200lb ice ball hitting the pipe wall in the bend won't register on the seismograph tens of miles away at all. If methane hydrates exploded on its own on the sea floor, there would be explosions on the sea floor all the time, and the seismograph would be registering them all the time . . . in that case there would be no point for NATO/US to have a dense network of listening devices on the Baltic sea floor to listen for all potential sorties by Soviet submarines coming out. The entire Baltic sea floor has been covered by the dense network of sensors, so we have been told as one of the good uses of taxpayer money during the Cold War.

As far as I know, pipeline from Norway will be filled with Norwegian nat gas, so Halifax is irrelevant. US nat gas goes to Butinge.

Unloading at Butinge would just add 200-400 miles to the trip, compared to unloading on Norwegian coast, in the mistaken analysis I did above (I didn't realize the 150,000 cubic meter capacity quoted for those ships was liquid NG volume not gaseous NG volume) but does make economic sense when shipping capacity is not the limiting factor.

If Norway can export enough additional natural gas to Germany and Poland to replace entirely what was delivered by NS-1 (and NS-2 in the near future), cutting the Nordstream lines won't hurt/kill as many Germans and Poles in the coming winter as I initially thought would be the case. The shipping distance from Norway to Polish terminal is much shorter than from the US, even by LNG tankers. A big "If."

What does Ukraine, the CIA, and M6 have on you guys, that you go to such extreme lengths to avoid the most obvious explanations? Did you all chart a trip on the Lolita express together or something?

This is what propaganda does to people. You can't admit you were fooled, because it's so damaging to your ego, so you double down on the lies, and logic gymnastics, rather than admit you were wrong. And because we have a bunch of sociopaths running things, this type of behavior is encouraged because it fosters extremism, and keeps the fingers pointed at each other.

Meanwhile, the NWO keep killing innocent Russians and Ukrainians. Europeans are getting squeezed into poverty, and billions of dollars are being laundered every month, robbing all of us. And none of you give a shit, because you're too busy justifying why you fell for such an obvious con.

Wake the fuck up! When you agree with every mainstream media outlet, every WEF leader, and the most senile person ever to set foot in the White House, you are wrong!

a simpler question is who benefits from destroying the pipeline (stronger argument, I believe, than ramblings of a senile geezer). The simplest possible answer is other nat gas producers
the only thing that does not compute with me is that Trump managed to shut this pipeline down, then Bidet reopens it, only to blow up? that tells me it may be a player other than usa which blew it up, but then again, we have woke idiots in power who may act illogically. Finally, I can not completely exclude Russian incompetence.

America.

America does not want this war to end, and so it is in America's interest to prevent Putin from using the lure of turning on the gas to end the war.

Also in America's interest to have Europe more dependent on the US for energy.

Its a political theater victory for them to pin this on the USA. Also Russia can just seal it off and divert all its natural gas to China, India, etc. China can sell Russian oil as well. Easy fix for Russia.

Russia was already reducing natural gas supply to Europe back in August as this headline reads "Nord Stream 1: Russia switches off gas pipeline citing maintenance"

Its a political war as much, and creating a rift between Germany and the USA is achieved by making Germans pay a lot more for natural gas imported from the USA.

Baltic Pipe will carry gas from Norway to Poland via Denmark. The maximum capacity is only 10 billion cubic meters, which happens to be ten times less than the volume supplied by NS and NS2. So Baltic Pipe may be enough for Poland, but carries no value for other EU customers.

Good points. The one thing I've heard over and over from the people who seem the most objective, is it's really hard to tell what's going on over there. What's true and what are lies. So the most any of us should say is war is wrong, and we support whoever is for peace. Putin is no less or more evil than he's always been. Ukraine is no less or more corrupt than it always was, and governments still only love power, NOT people.

"Russian energy giant Gazprom announced on Friday the suspension of natural gas supplies to the EU via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, for an indefinite period, due to technical malfunctions. The pipeline was supposed to restart on September 3 following repairs to its sole operating turbine.

According to the company, it received a warning from Russia’s industrial regulator Rostekhnadzor about the turbine failure. The problems were reportedly detected during maintenance work, and the pipeline will not be able to operate without proper repairs, according to Gazprom.

The Russian firm said it has informed German manufacturer Siemens about the turbine failure and the need for an overhaul.

Repairs on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline were originally scheduled from August 31 until September 3, prompting a full shutdown of gas flows to the EU."

Heavy with the Woo, especially when they proclaim all western gub'ments as puppets for the NWO/Davos/WEF.

I'm more convinced that the people running the US proxy war against Russia (Nuland and her coterie) are to the man and women descendants of Jews who fled Russia during the pogroms of the late 19th and early 20th century. They want to see Russia obliterated.

There was a post on PatNet about Nuland's backstory. It rings true. To her and her ilk, this is an apocalyptic battle/struggle against 1000 years of Russian persecution of the Ashkenazi Jews.
