Blame Canada

New York Times- Russian gas flows to Germany get snarled in Canada.

A machine used in shipping Russian natural gas to Germany has been caught up in Canadian sanctions imposed against Moscow, prompting a steep drop in flows in a key Russian pipeline and contributing to a surge in European natural gas prices on Tuesday.

Gazprom, the Russian gas monopoly, said on Twitter on Tuesday that it was reducing the amount of gas it sends to Germany via the Nord Stream pipeline by about 40 percent because a turbine sent for repairs had not been returned “in due time.” It said it could not provide the amount of gas normally sent to Germany without the machine.

Winter is coming.

  1. Union gas upgraded their system with rolls Royce jet engines. Just saying, give them a call.

  2. Could be that Hunter spread some coke and cash around for the Canadian government to hold the line. The current situation of high natural gas prices looks good to the oligarchs both east and west of Europe.
