Initially, the gas transportation began through the first pipeline with a capacity of 27.5bcm a year. NSGP is also fed with additional gas supplies from fields in Yamal Peninsula, Ob-Taz Bay and Shtokmanovskoye. The field was developed at an estimated cost of €1bn. The Yuzhno-Russkoye field has estimated gas reserves of more than one trillion cubic metres, including 700bcm of proven reserves. "It exports natural gas from Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas deposits within the Leningrad region of Russia to Germany." Marine gas pipelines were used for gas supplies to countries including the UK, Finland and Sweden. The remainder is a marine gas pipeline which lies under the Baltic Sea, from Portovaya Bay (Vyborg) to the coast of Germany (at Greiswald). The onshore section of NSGP in Russia is nearly 917km long. In October 2006, the pipeline and the operating company were officially renamed Nord Stream. In December 2005, Gazprom began construction of the Russian onshore section of the pipeline. In November 2005, the North European Gas Pipeline Company (later Nord Stream) was incorporated in Zug, Switzerland. In September 2005, Gazprom, BASF and E.ON signed a basic agreement for the construction of a North European Gas Pipeline. As a result, Gazprom became the 100% owner of North Transgas Oy. In May 2005, Fortum withdrew and sold its 50% stake in the project to Gazprom. In November 2002, the management committee of Gazprom approved a schedule of project implementation. In April 2001, Gazprom, Fortum, Ruhrgas and Wintershall commissioned a joint feasibility study for the pipeline.

The German partner for the project was Ruhrgas (later E.ON). The project first began in 1997 when Gazprom and Finnish company Neste (later known as Fortum) formed a joint company, North Transgas Oy, for the construction and operation of a gas pipeline from Russia to northern Germany across the Baltic Sea. The preliminary front end engineering and design was completed by Intecsea Engineering in 2008. The new project also strengthens Gazprom’s position as a major supplier in Germany and Western Europe. The NSGP project enables Gazprom, for which Germany is the largest export market, to become one of the major gas producers in the world.
THE EXPERIMENT 2010 STREAM LICENSE
The license for the exploration and development of the Yuzhno-Russkoye oil reserve was given to OAO Severnefte Gazprom, a 100% subsidiary of OAO Gazprom.Ī €35m contract to frame four tie-ins over the two parallel pipelines was awarded to Technip in March 2010. Additional gas is procured from reserves in the Yamal Peninsula, Ob-Taz Bay and Shtokmanovskoye. The Yuzhno-Russkoye field contributes the bulk of gas supplied through the NSGP. Three pipe laying vessels were employed for the purpose. The contract was valued at more than €1bn. The contract for laying the pipelines was awarded to Saipem in June 2008. "The project consists of a twin-pipeline with a combined capacity of 55bcm a year." Commercial gas deliveries began in November 2012. The second line, with a transmission capacity of 27.5bcm, commenced operations in October 2012. The first pipeline, which has a capacity to transmit around 27.5bcm of gas, started transporting natural gas from Russia to Germany in November 2011. Construction of the second line began in May 2011 and was completed in April 2012. Construction on the first pipeline commenced in April 2010 and was completed in June 2011.

The project consists of a twin-pipeline with a combined capacity of 55bcm a year. It exports natural gas from Yuzhno-Russkoye oil and gas deposits within the Leningrad region of Russia to Germany. Part of this requirement is supplied through the 1,224km-long NSGP (formerly North European Gas Pipeline). It is a joint venture in which Gazprom holds a 51% stake, BASF / Wintershall and E.ON Ruhrgas have 15.5% each and NV Nederlandse Gasunie and GDF Suez hold nine percent each.Įurope requires more than 100 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas each year. I found chartwells EP a year or so ago.The Nord Stream Gas Pipeline (NSGP) project is operated by Nord Stream AG. This is probably one of my favorite tunes. I feel like I should be playing some nutso game by Treasure! That's a good thing by the way, lol! Good stuff!
