2 days ago - Nord Stream Gas Pipeline (Russian: Северный Поток), also called the Northern European Gas Pipeline (Северо-Европейский газопровод) is a mothballed gas pipeline running from Russia to Germany.[1][2]

Nord Stream refers to a pair of natural gas pipelines, Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, that connect Russia and Germany through the Baltic Sea. Developed by Nord Stream AG, a consortium of five major energy companies, these pipelines were intended to transport significant volumes of natural gas to Europe, enhancing energy security and bypassing transit countries like Ukraine.

In other words, it is hard to look at the data and conclude that Nord Stream 1 adversely impacted European gas security: it reduced transit through Ukraine for a few years, and it eventually allowed Russian exports to rise; but fundamentally, it mostly changed how the Czech Republic receives its Russian gas; it helped Ukraine import non-Gazprom gas; it offset the precipitous fall in Dutch gas production; and insofar as it turned Germany into a hub, it did so alongside the Yamal-Europe pipeline that crosses Poland. Nord Stream 2 will, of course, create its own market and geopolitical dynamics; but a reality check on Nord Stream 1, especially against some dire predictions made a decade ago, might lead to a more rational conversation about Nord Stream 2 today.

The volume of natural gas running via the pipeline Nord Stream from Russia to Germany stood at zero as of August 6, 2023. Prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the flows were measured at nearly 1.8 billion kilowatt-hours per day on February ...

March 7, 2025 - The Nord Stream pipeline across the Baltic Sea to Germany is by far the biggest route, alongside flows via Belarus, Ukraine and Turkey.

April 12, 2022 - Nord Stream 1 is a pipeline system that transports natural gas from Russia to Germany and uses onshore couplings to existing networks of those countries (Balashova et al., 2008). The project aims to provide a secure energy supply for Europe ...

Nord Stream 1 is a 1,224 km underwater gas pipeline running from Vyborg in northwest Russia to Lubmin in northeastern Germany via the Baltic Sea. It was completed in 2011. Nord Stream 2 which runs from Ust-Luga in Leningrad to Lubmin was completed ...

August 4, 2022 - The Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline normally provides much of Europe’s energy but it was recently throttled.

1 week ago - In March 2010, French energy company GDF Suez signed with Gazprom a memorandum of understanding to acquire 9% stake in the project. The transaction was closed in July 2010. In August 2008, Nord Stream AG hired former Finnish prime minister Paavo Lipponen as a consultant to help speed up the ...

May 27, 2026 - Nord Stream 1 connects Vyborg in Russia to Lubmin near Greifswald in Germany through two 1,224km pipes. Each pipe has the capacity to transport around 27.5 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas from Russia to Germany each year.

... Nord Stream is a system of offshore natural gas pipelines running under the Baltic Sea. The first phase, Nord Stream 1, became operational in 2011, providing a direct route for Russian gas to reach Germany and other parts of Europe.

February 26, 2022 - It is a part of the integrated gas transport network of Russia connecting existing grid in Gryazovets with the coastal compressor station at Vyborg. The length of this pipeline is 917 kilometres (570 mi), the diameter of the pipe is 1,420 millimetres (56 in), and working pressure is 100 standard ...

Nord Stream was built using 1,220-millimeter pipes. The pipeline’s outlet pressure at the Russia-based Portovaya CS was 220 bar (220 kilograms per square centimeter), while the outlet pressure at the landfall point in Germany was 106 bar.

July 25, 2022 - Nord Stream 1, which runs on the bed of the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, resumed pumping gas on Thursday after a 10-day maintenance shutdown, but at only 40 per cent of its capacity.
