Yes, agree. I was in two minds whether to change allies when I made my post, think I apostrophised it instead….but another way of looking at it is we would all be allies together, semantics i guess

Yes, an ROV would be the simplest answer, and it should be easy to track vessel movements in that area over the past 48 hours, especially those equipped with an ROV?
no BOP on transmission lines, just valves (flow control/shut off)
There won't be BOP's on main pipelines. Will possibly be valve stations along the line allowing close/open operations.

Nope and nope.
These pipes were not in operation. Who benefits from potential disruption to supplies?

Turning a tap off is easier to turn back on than taking sections of pipes out.
You tell me, it's certainly not the supplier that benefits.

It is if the price goes up.

It’s not full it’s at 87% the target is 80% so above target but not full

Agreed. Most incidents on subsea lines are caused by anchors, which would be a more basic means of attack, but wouldn’t explain the explosion.
All in all extremely bizarre. Hopefully not a precursor to something else.

Fox News disputes the “Biden did it“ theory, unless of course, it was all mind games………..
Germany warned by CIA of possible attack on Nord Stream gas pipeline weeks in advance: report
The CIA reportedly warned Germany of possible attacks on Baltic Sea gas pipelines weeks ahead of leaks being discovered on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines.

A lot of people don’t understand how complicated the whole Nordstream project is.
Nordstream are just the operators of the pipeline, a Swiss consortium made up of Russian, German, French, Austrian and Dutch interests.
The gas is owned by Gazprom, who also own 51% of the pipeline, the other 49% is owned by German, French, Austrian and Dutch companies. They all get revenue from the transmission of the gas, probably based on ownership percentages.
They are all taking a financial hit in this. (Which also helps explain why some countries were more reticent to shut off the supply………..)
