Gazprom says Nord Stream turbine papers do not resolve problems

Russia’s Gazprom PJSC said it has received some paperwork related to the delayed delivery of a turbine for the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline, while adding that some additional issues with the equipment still remain.

The company received documents from manufacturer Siemens Energy AG on the component, it said. The part had initially been stranded in Canada due to western sanctions. Issues with sanctions imposed by other regions, including the European Union, remain open, and they are key to maintenance of the equipment, according to Gazprom.

“After studying the documents, Gazprom had to conclude that they do not eliminate the previously identified risks and give rise to additional questions,” the company said in a statement on Twitter.

“In these circumstances, Gazprom has again requested that Siemens provide prompt support in obtaining the required documents and clarifications so that the pending issues can be solved,” it added.

Siemens officials weren’t immediately available for comment. The turbine helps pump gas through the Nord Stream network.
