Loading ...Russia’s Nord Stream 1 pipeline is scheduled for maintenance later this month and will halt gas flows.
The pipeline has already seen a 60% reduction in gas exports since June, and prices have jumped 70%.
Goldman Sachs expects flows to return at a reduced rate after the maintenance period.
Russia’s Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which delivers natural gas to Europe, has already seen a 60% reduction in gas exports since mid-June, and Goldman Sachs warned they may stay low for a while.
Nord Stream 1 is scheduled for maintenance July 11 to 21, during which gas flows will be halted. While Goldman analysts previously expected gas deliveries to be fully restored after the maintenance, it no longer sees that as the most probable scenario, according to a note Monday.
“The lack of resolution around required turbine repairs, and the absence of any Gazprom-driven rerouting of the reduced NS1 flows via an alternative pipeline to mitigate the impact to supply suggest a prolonged reduced flow rate at NS1 is more likely going forward,” the analysts wrote.
