MOSCOW: The Danish Energy Agency issued a permit to Nord Stream 2 AG, the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, for mothballing of the damaged pipeline, the authority said in its press release.
"On January 28, 2025, the Danish Energy Agency issued a permit to Nord Stream 2 AG to perform certain activities at the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline facility in the Baltic Sea. Workers intend to preserve the damaged pipeline, installing special plugs on each open end of the pipe in order to prevent fur5ther gas release and ingress of oxygen-saturated seawater," the regulator said.
Nord Stream 2 AG is expected to complete pipeline activities from April 1 to September 30, 2025 and they will last for 2-3 weeks.
The company should submit the work plan for the pipeline, so that the Danish Energy Agency can monitor plans of Nord Stream 2 AG for the future of the facility on a going basis. The operator should also furnish information about vessels to be used and companies that will perform the activities.
According to the clarification of the Danish regulator, Nord Stream 2 AG submitted the application for the permit to work as early as in May 2024 for the activities to be implemented in the third - the fourth quarters of the last year but postponed them later. The service life of special plugs to be set on the damaged pipe is ten years but it can turn out to be more, depending on operating conditions.
