Moscow, Oct 18 (Prensa Latina) Russian company Gazprom filled with gas the first string of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in a volume of approximately 177 million cubic meters, the project's operating company informed on Monday.
Nord Stream AG, in charge of the operation of the pipelines linking Russia and Germany, explained that this fluid with the so-called technical gas will provide a pressure level of 103 bars, sufficient to start gas transportation in the future.
According to a communique, commissioning works for the second string of the gas pipeline remain underway.
On October 4, the Danish Energy Agency confirmed that Nord Stream 2 AG fulfilled all conditions for commissioning the pipeline.
The joint work of the Russian energy company with five European partners consists of two pipelines crossing the Baltic Sea through the seabed, with a capacity to transport 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually.
