HELSINKI (AP) – Danish officials announced Sunday that the Nord Stream 1 natural gas pipeline has also stopped leaking, a day after officials said the ruptured Nord Stream 2 pipeline also appeared to have stopped leaking.
The Nord Stream AG company informed the Danish Energy Agency that the Nord Stream 1 pipelines seem to have reached a stable pressure.
“Nord Stream AG has informed the Danish Energy Agency that the two Nord Stream 1 pipelines now appear to have reached stable pressure. This indicates that degassing of the two most recent leaks has also now been completed,” the Danish agency tweeted on Sunday.
The Danish agency said on Saturday that the ruptured Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea appears to have stopped the natural gas leaks.
The undersea explosions that damaged the Nord Stream I and 2 pipelines this week have resulted in massive methane leaks. Nordic researchers said that there have been several hundred kilograms of explosives in the explosions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday accused the West of sabotaging Russian-built pipelines, a charge strongly denied by the United States and its allies.
US-Russian clashes later continued at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council in New York called by Russia over the pipeline attacks, and when Norwegian scientists released a map showing a huge plume of methane from damaged pipelines across large areas. In Nordic countries.
