Russian Gas Stops Flowing To Italy After 'Problem' In Austria

[Addict2sex]

Gazprom Halts Gas Supplies to Italy in Latest Energy Battle

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

www.bloomberg.com

Russian energy giant Gazprom PJSC suspended natural gas deliveries to Eni SpA, Italy's largest oil company, on Saturday, reported Bloomberg.

"Gazprom informed that it is not able to confirm the gas volumes requested for today, stating that it's not possible to supply gas through Austria. Therefore, today's Russian gas supplies to Eni through the Tarvisio entry point will be at zero. Eni will provide updates in case supplies will be restored," Eni wrote in a statement on its website.

An Eni spokesperson told Bloomberg that Austria is still receiving NatGas from Gazprom:

"We are working to check with Gazprom whether it is possible to reactivate the flows to Italy."

Gazprom said NatGas flows from Austria to Italy were suspended because the Austrian operator refused to confirm "transport nominations" after recent regulatory changes in the landlocked country in the southern part of Central Europe.

It's important to note most of the Russian NatGas delivered to Italy flows through Ukraine via the Trans Austria Gas Pipeline to Tarvisio in northern Italy on the border with Austria. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, Italy imported 95% of its NatGas, of which 45% came from Russia.

Those figures are drastically different today as Italy rejiggers its energy supply chain away from Russia and finds alternative supplies of NatGas from North Africa. Before this weekend, Russian NatGas accounted for only 10% of Italy's imports. The new suppliers will help Italy boost storage levels ahead of winter.

"Outgoing Prime Minister Mario Draghi has been scouring the globe to secure gas supplies to protect Italy from potential supply interruptions from Russia, which has been putting pressure on the European Union over several rounds of sanctions in response to the invasion. Italy has been one of the most successful countries to source alternative supplies," Bloomberg noted.

Last week, Gazprom said one of two remaining routes carrying NatGas to Europe -- via Ukraine -- was at risk because of legal issues.

Today's news comes days after underwater explosions damaged Gazprom's Nord Stream system in the Baltic Sea. And less than a day after Russia annexed four regions in Ukraine, as well as Ukraine, applied to join NATO.

"Hybrid Warfare" - WINTER play a major role has historically defeated many Grand Armies without firing a single cannon !
Looking at history Napolean War got defeat by Russia winter.
Nazi Germany got defeat by Russia Winter

7 times weather affected war

7 times weather affected war

When weather and war interact, it can lead to unexpected and seemingly miraculous events.

So the proxy war on Russia vs EU / Ukraine / NATO / USA would it play a major or minor or any role in this conflict ? We will find out as bank / companies go bankrupt within the each country economy Will greatly affected .. Recession/ Stagflation or depression!

 

[Pleasure Hound]

We have no idea what happened there. Maybe there was indeed a problem in Austria.....

 

[Addict2sex]

If the US wasn't instrumental in bombing the Russian pipelines, how did President Biden get scammed into threatening them directly? I doubt President Biden is making any decisions, but whoever loads the teleprompter was in on the plan from the beginning.

Or creeping Russian expansion and invasions. What makes you think Russia will not try and hold up Europe for ransom in the future.

I think Russia very highly hold up Europe for ransom in the future… because they are mad like hell and they Russia ( Putin) are not trustworthy also and also EU and NATO are not trustworthy also. Both side don’t trust each other. EU will yield because they have no choice oil & natural gas run the economy and provide the necessary base load of power. Renewable can do so much.

When or if EU somehow burn all their natural gas in storage tanks if a abnormal extremely harsh winter arrived in Europe forced EU to burn up all the natural gas in the storage they will be in trouble. Their economy will be in deep trouble if goes into worst cases scenario hyperinflation or and economic depression. Most Europe companies economic model base on cheap Russian natural gas to have a competitive advantage over other countries goods & services.So when companies goes bankrupt and people get permanent laid off.
And hundreds or thousands people start freezing to death every day… civil riot will occurred.

Gravitas: China selling excess Russian gas to Europe

Guess sanctions work really will against Russia they are hurting real badly ( intended target. Russia ) Europe.
“ Cut off one's nose to spite one's face”

They sanctions Russian gas and they ( EU) buy Gas from China …but the China natural gas
is actually Russia natural gas. Guess China switch the label made in Russia natural Gas to made in China natural gas, And mark up the price of Natural gas to make a huge profit. Reselling Russia natural gas from China to at 3X or 4X markup.

No countries can make up the difference of the lost in EU natural gas they imported yet from Russia yet. An extremely harsh winter will be a huge problem for EU. EU economic model base on cheap natural gas availability and base on Russia natural gas Availability.

Europe due to own stupidity gone full Greta. This is what happen to listening to a petulant teenager Greta … by changing their energy policies going full Greta. Well how that working out now?

Innocent pleb will die this winter in Europe and innocent pleb will lose their jobs and their life saving.
I glad I live in Toronto, Canada . My job is secure and I don’t have to worry about freezing to death this coming winter.
By way this beginning autumn beginning feel cold weather now …And can feel the coming winter already at the start of this beginning fall season.
Also there is a phenomenon called La Niña this year. Will see how this winter phenomenon will affect the Northern hemisphere.

China quietly importing Russia natural gas then reselling natural gas the same Russia Natural gas to Europe.

China throws Europe an energy lifeline with LNG resales

China snaps up US$2 billion of Russian LNG as energy bucks economic downturn

China bought over 2 million tonnes of LNG – valued at over US$2 billion – from Russia in the first six months of the year, representing an increase of close to 30 per cent year on year.

www.scmp.com

Despite a suppressed appetite for energy amid its housing crash and economic downturn (for which "zero covid" has emerged as a convenient scapegoat for emperor Xi), China has been soaking up more Russian natural gas so far this year, while imports from most other sources declined.

In July, the SCMP reported that according to Chinese customs data, in the first six months of the year, China bought a total of 2.35 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) – valued at US$2.16 billion. The import volume increased by 28.7% year on year, with the value surging by 182%. It meant Russia has surpassed Indonesia and the United States to become China’s fourth-largest supplier of LNG so far this year!

This, of course, is not to be confused with pipeline gas, where Russian producer Gazprom recently announced that its daily supplies to China via the Power of Siberia pipeline had reached a new all-time high (Russia is China’s second-largest pipeline natural gas supplier after Turkmenistan), and earlier revealed that the supply of Russian pipeline gas to China had increased by 63.4% in the first half of 2022.



What was behind this bizarre surge in Russian LNG imports, analysts speculated? After all, while China imports over half of the natural gas it consumes, with around two-thirds in the form of LNG, demand this year had fallen sharply amid economic headwinds and widespread shutdowns. In other words, why the surge in Russian LNG when i) domestic demand is just not there and ii) at the expense of everyone else?

“The increase in Russian LNG could be a displacement of cargoes going to Japan or South Korea because of sanctions, or weaker demand there,” said Michal Meidan, director of the China Energy Programme at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies.

One thing that was clear: China wanted to keep its arms-length gas dealing with Russia as unclear as possible, which is why the General Administration of Customs of China stopped publicizing the breakdown in trade volume for pipeline natural gas since the beginning of the year, with spokesman Li Kuiwen confirming that the move was to “protect the legitimate business rights and interests of the relevant importers and exporters”.

China has been quietly reselling that evil, tainted Russian LNG to the one place that desperately needs it more than anything. Europe... and of course, it is charging a kidney's worth of markups in the process.

Europe’s fears of gas shortages heading into winter may have been circumvented, thanks to an unexpected white knight: China." The Nikkei-owned publications further notes that "the world’s largest buyer of liquefied natural gas is reselling some of its surplus LNG cargoes due to weak energy demand at home. This has provided the spot market with an ample supply that Europe has tapped, despite the higher prices."



LNG that China sells to Europe is Russia

Russian pipeline gas to Europe effectively shuttered...

Europe’s imports of LNG have soared 60% year on year in the first six months of 2022, according to research firm Kpler.

Some more details:

China’s JOVO Group, a big LNG trader, recently disclosed that it had resold an LNG cargo to a European buyer.
A futures trader in Shanghai told Nikkei that the profit made from such a transaction could be in the tens of millions of dollars or even reach $100mn.
China’s biggest oil refiner Sinopec Group also acknowledged on an earnings call in April that it has been channelling excess LNG into the international market.
Local media have said that Sinopec alone has sold 45 cargoes of LNG, or about 3.15mn tonnes. The total amount of Chinese LNG that has been resold is probably more than 4mn tonnes, equivalent to 7 per cent of Europe’s gas imports in the half year to the end of June.

Make no mistake: all of this "excess" LNG was soured in part or in whole in Russia, but since it has been "tolled" in China, it is no longer Russian. It is instead - drumroll - Chinese LNG.

The good news is that the 53 million tonnes that the bloc purchased surpasses imports by China and Japan and has brought Europe’s gas-storage occupancy rate up to 77%.If this continues, Europe is likely to reach its stated goal of filling 80% of its gas storage facilities by November (at which point it will start draining the reserves at a breakneck pace to keep warm during the winter). But while China’s economic slump has brought much-needed relief to Europe, it comes with a major footnote. As soon as economic activity bounces back in China, the situation will quickly reverse, and Beijing will no longer re-export Russia LNG to keep Europe warm.

Hilariously, it also means that instead of being dependent on Russia for gas, Europe is now becoming dependent on Beijing instead for its energy - which is still Russian gas, only this time imported from China - which makes a mockery of US geopolitical ambitions to defend a liberal international order with its own energy exports.

Worse, while Europe could buy Russian LNG for price X, it instead has to pay 2X, 3X or more, just to virtue signal to the world that it won't fund Putin's regime, when in reality is is paying extra to both Xi and to Putin, who is collecting a premium price thanks to the overall market scarcity.

Europe is buying Russian LNG by way of China:

If Russia ends up exporting more gas to China as a means to punish Europe, China will have more capacity to resell its surplus gas to the spot market — indirectly helping Europe.

Why not just admit the obvious - that China is helping Russia skirt sanctions as both countries get very rich in the process?

Mainstream media is a conduit of the neoliberal thinking that demanded a complete embargo on Russian energy, an embargo which even the WSJ now admits (see "Russia Confounds the West by Recapturing Its Oil Riches") has backfired spectacularly - would be put into question.

The EU would rather burn coal than give another dollar to Russia.

I thought burning coal is bad …what about climate change and saving the planet?
Let me see ask long as your are not making the sacrifices or the money not coming out of your wallet.. you can virtue signal to everyone. In Actually EU are buying Russia natural gas “China natural gas “ from Russia China that at markup 2X to 3X markup that is original import from Russia from China. That make soooo financial savvy . As long as you the one not freezing to death or going out of business or losing your jobs. As long as it not your company going bankrupt. What the say” It not a recession when your neighbours lose their job!” But you lose your jobs then it a recession.
At the same time Meanwhile you fund both regime China and Russia 2X or 3X or more markup maybe 10X … Who are you hurting now?

C H I N A natural gas is RUSSIA N a t u r a l G A S !!!!

GAS from Russia to Germany via Pipeline.

( In pure form is gas phase via pipeline don’t need to convert into Liquid form)


Now

Gas from Russia to somewhere compressed, into liquid, loaded on ship diesel sail around the ocean, off loaded somewhere transported somehow to Germany at 2x or 3X or maybe 10 X the price since it convert to Liquid form. ( gas to liquid)


Lol….what bunch-af’n idiot ( insert countries or goverments) !!!

I wonder who the middleman?? He making a killing .


Guess who next on the list? Buying RUSSA/ China natural gas

I T A L Y

PS. Don’t be surprised when someone you know friends or relative will want to come visit you for XMAS.
But end up staying until spring!

PPS. Now you going to see companies going bankrupt! Question, Is the economy going recession or into deep recession with high inflation that means stagflations or hyperinflation in fuel prices or worst case scenario depression

 

[Addict2sex]

We are not going to buy this Russian gas from Russia, because we support the Ukraine.
We are going to buy Russian gas from China, because we support Ukraine.


Clown….Clown….F’in….. Clown world….

They will pay out the shit just to save face and shovel the losses down to their idiotic sheep population.

Are you going hope for Global warming ( rebranded as climate change then rebranded as climate emergency) when
you going need the energy for winter ?

Too bad petulant teenager Greta don’t live in Germany or Italy !

blah blah blah...

And hundreds or thousands people start freezing to death every day… civil riot will occurred.

Europe due to own stupidity gone full Greta. This is what happen to listening to a petulant teenager Greta … by changing their energy policies going full Greta. Well how that working out now?

blah, blah, blabbibity blah blah blah....

Marxism Update?

WTF is that in your crack pipe you're smoking?

Do you look for this alt-news shit or does it find you?

I hate mainstream media… anytime I can find the whole truth and expose the lies will expose the whole story from mainstream . Don’t like mainstream that lies to me Or their positive spin.
examples IRAQ WMD , COVID19 lies ( not to worry beginning of the before pandemic saying covid19 is just like the flu then they lies you don’t not need two wear a mask, then it not airborne, then wear a cloth mask , then wear surgicAl mask , etc..)

My father died because of the lies from mainstream media on covid19 !

So exposing the lies from any mainstream media left or right and telling the truth make me happy!
unfortunately mainstream media is mostly left of Center or left , but you do have right wing media also do lies.
So will expose all media lies left and right and let public terbite make up their own mind. ( And not become sheep).

PS. Wish for media only report fact and fact only with no opinion!! It that too difficult to report the truth!
PPS. You see RUSSIAN BEAR everywhere maybe you need to laid off the crack and stop projecting ( psychlogically projecting)
By the way I am not white . Most Russian are white . I am a visible minority !
