Nord Stream, the undersea gas pipeline linking Russia and Germany, will conduct scheduled maintenance on both lines of the pipeline over the next 11 days, Nord Stream AG reported.
Pressure in the pipeline began falling at 5:00 a.m. Moscow time on Monday, reaching zero by 7:00 a.m.
The maintenance period will continue until September 22 and will include maintenance work at the acceptance terminal in Greifswald and the Radeland compressor station on the OPAL gas pipeline.
