If the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is put into operation, pumping gas through Ukraine’s gas transmission system will not be profitable. A critically small volume of gas will remain in the GTS.
This was announced by economist Oleg Pendzin, writes GolosUA. “The capacity of the Ukrainian GTS is about 150-170 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Traditionally, under normal conditions, when neither Nord Stream 2 nor Turkish Stream were taken into account, Ukraine was pumping around 120 billion cubic meters of gas. cubic meters of gas in Y when the Nord Stream and other small “streams” were completed, according to 2020 results Ukraine pumped between 70 and 80 billion cubic meters of gas, that is, less than usual, “Pendzin said.
He noted that there is an “economic limit to profitability” of pumping gas through the pipeline. Therefore, according to rough estimates, pumping less than 40 billion cubic meters of gas per year is not profitable for the GTS. That is, maintaining the pressure in the system by burning gas is not economically profitable if the volume of pumping through the pipeline is less than 35-40 billion cubic meters per year.
“The figure that can be preserved as transit on the Ukrainian GTS after the launch of Nord Stream 2 in its entirety (and Nord Stream 2 is around 50-60 billion cubic meters of gas), and all that will remain for Ukraine after the The Russian Federation has distributed its volumes along different gas pipelines, about 35 billion cubic meters, which is below the stall point… Therefore Ukraine is extremely interested that the Russians do not launch Nord Stream 2, “the economist noted.
Let us remind you that the German government discussed with the United States at different levels the issue of sanctions against Nord Stream 2. The German cabinet rejects the US pipeline restriction measures.
