Russian gas flows to Europe via Nord Stream and Ukraine unchanged

Flows of Russian gas to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline and through Ukraine on Thursday remained in line with deliveries in recent days, operator data showed. Physical flows to Germany through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline across the Baltic Sea stood at 29,482,220 kilowatt-hours per hour (kWh/h), in line with levels above 29,000,000 kWh/h on Wednesday, operator company information showed.

Russian gas producer Gazprom this month said that capacity through the pipeline would be cut to only 40% owing to the delayed return of equipment being serviced by Germany's Siemens Energy in Canada. Nord Stream will undergo regular annual maintenance from July 11 to July 21, sparking concern over whether flows will restart when the maintenance ends.

The drop in Russian pipeline deliveries since mid-June has forced Germany's Uniper, a key buyer, to withdraw its outlook for the 2022 financial year and seek government support. Nominations for gas flow into Slovakia from Ukraine via the Velke Kapusany border point stood at 37 mcm per day on Thursday, unchanged from the previous day, data from the Ukrainian transmission system operator showed.

Gazprom said its supply of gas to Europe through Ukraine via the Sudzha entry point was seen at 42.2 million cubic meters (mcm) on Thursday compared with 42.1 mcm on Wednesday. Eastbound gas flows via the Yamal-Europe pipeline to Poland from Germany edged lower, data from pipeline operator Gascade showed.

Exit flows at the Mallnow metering point on the German border stood at 2,729,761 kWh/h early on Thursday, down from about 2,860,000 kWh/h the previous day.
