(Finance) – New tensions are building up on gas prices. Gazprom announced that it has spotted some leaks of oil during the maintenance work at the Portovaya compressor station. “The failures and damage identified – explains Gazprom – do not allow safe and trouble-free operation of the turbine engine”. For this reason “the transport of gas “has been” completely stopped “.
In the meantime, gas prices closed the eighth in sharp decline precisely on the expectation of the reopening of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline after a three-day shutdown for maintenance. At the official closing of the TTF platform in Amsterdam the price of natural gas was € 214.7 per megawatt hour.
This time Gazprom did not provide any information on the closing times of the pipeline.
