On October 2, local time, the Danish Energy Agency said that the Nord Stream Natural Gas Pipeline Company has notified them that the pressure of the " Nord Stream-1" natural gas pipeline has returned to stable, which indicates that the natural gas leakage in the pipeline has stopped. At this point, both "North Stream" natural gas pipelines have stopped leaking.
"North Stream-1" and "North Stream-2" natural gas pipelines leaked on September 26. Beixi Natural Gas Pipeline Company said that the natural gas leakage in the " Beixi-2" natural gas pipeline was stopped on October 1. On October 2, the "Beixi-1" natural gas pipeline also stopped leaking. There is still no specific timetable for the investigation into the cause of the incident and when the repair of damaged pipelines will be carried out.
Regarding the cause of the incident, several seismologists previously believed that "underwater explosions" occurred near the leak point. Many European countries suspect that the leakage was caused by "deliberate destruction". Russia accused the United States of being responsible for the incident, but the United States denied it.
Regarding the repair work, Beixi Natural Gas Pipeline Company previously stated that after obtaining the official permission, the company will enter the damaged area of the pipeline after the pipeline stops leakage and evaluate the degree of damage to the pipeline. Before the evaluation is conducted, it is impossible to predict when the pipeline will recover gas supply.
Russian Vice Prime Minister Novak said on October 2 that technically the possibility of repairing the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline exists, but similar leaks have never happened before, so the repair work requires time and sufficient funds.
