Gazprom Bullish on Nord Stream-2 Timing

摘要

Russia's Gazprom intends to begin offshore construction of the 55 Bcm/yr Nord Stream-2 pipeline to Germany in early 2018, the state gas giant's boss Alexei Miller has said. He reiterated over the weekend that the pipeline would be launched as planned in late 2019. However, the future of the project remains uncertain due to strong opposition from Eastern Europe and, potentially, the European Commission, which has yet to outline its official position on the scheme.
