Fajarasia.co – Russian gas company Gazprom announced on Saturday (18/6) that it will stop shipping gas via the two Turkish Stream gas pipelines from June 21 to June 28 due to scheduled annual maintenance.
The suspension was agreed in advance by all interested parties, Gazprom said in a statement.
The Turkish Stream gas pipeline, which passes through the seabed in the Black Sea, consists of two lines, one to supply gas to Turkish consumers and the other to deliver energy to countries in southern and southeastern Europe.
The pipeline will start operating in January 2020 with a total capacity of 31.5 billion cubic meters per year.
Earlier this week, Gazprom said it would significantly reduce gas shipments to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline to no more than 67 million cubic meters per day.
Gazprom said this was due to the failure of Siemens, a manufacturer of gas turbine engines, to provide repair services in a timely manner.****
