Can't defend myself there.You know earlier when you mentioned intelligence….
Bright side ? I got 2 laughs from one joke.
Bit lively lately aren't you mate. Maybe a bit less sherbit in your tea eh ?

Just to put some reality into this, the pipelines are still there, they are repairable. - it’s not really a difficult operation.
That’s alright then, a lot of fuss over nothingJust to put some reality into this, the pipelines are still there, they are repairable. - it’s not really a difficult operation.
If this all ended tomorrow, both of those lines would be back up and running within a month.

Woah, you can’t ask questions like that man, you’ve just got to take it as gospelHow do you know this out of interest?
The pipelines were installed in 3 sections, each section was then joined by hyperbaric welding, using the SkandI Arctic.How do you know this out of interest?
Does the size of the fracture matter? And how big are they?The pipelines were installed in 3 sections, each section was then joined by hyperbaric welding, using the SkandI Arctic.
All of the equipment necessary for hyperbaric welding on Nordstream is in storage, fully maintained.
If there are 3 fractures in total, (2 on one line), it would involve 6 hyperbaric welds, which take app. 36 hours each. Pipeline sections would be pre-cut and dimensionally checked, pre-fabricated pipe spools made ready for insertion.
Dewatering of lines can be carried out from pipeline terminals either side of the rupture prior to spool insertion.
A month is tight but possible.
Planning the operation can be done now, the locations of the fractures is known.
Not really, it’s a matter of replacing pipe joints (40ft sections), the rupture will have damaged a number of joints, which will already have been confirmed by survey.Does the size of the fracture matter? And how big are they?

Given the involvement of Saipem it is a surprise either line was ever operational.Agreed, it is suspicious, but I was merely pointing out that it happens more often than people think. It’s also odd that ruptures are in different locations.
The water depth of both pipelines (minimum 60 m - 200ft) is such that it would need sat diving equipment to get down there, or specialised equipment to place any “explosives” accurately, so not an “off the cuff” sabotage act.- it must have been very well planned.
On the plus side, environmentally, Nordstream 2 was never operational, so if Russia has turned off supply only residue gas in pipeline will be lost, not uncontrolled evacuation from source. (Still a lot of gas).
Same with Nordstream 1 as Russia closed that off too.
All of which can be surveyed now, and incorporated into the planning, ready for when the powers that be determine the time is right to reinstate.What about alteration to the seabed caused by explosion? Strain induced on the pipeline either side? Genuine question, I don’t know. I suspect they would need an inspection before resuming service though.

Listen mate , ditch the. irrelevant history lesson and show me some valid evidence to back up "nailed on ". There's enough misinformation posted on here by our resident Hugh , we don't need more. But anyway lets see your evidence.No Qanon there at all, all factual stuff that’s been throughly researched….here’s perhaps the best example of the research that’s been done that explains Americas involvement with world politics since the mid 1900’s….of course, it’s up to you whether you watch the video let alone believe it but it’s becoming more and more apparent the tactics used by America back in the 50’s are still prevalent today.
Sir has first hand experience of the well oiled machine that is Saipem / ENI.
What have you achieved last month?
Zero contracts placed, project is in delay.
