Nord Stream The Project

Nord Stream's vision is to establish a direct connection between the vast gas reserves in Russia and the energy markets in the European Union. The Nord Stream twin pipeline system through the Baltic Sea runs from Vyborg, Russia to Lubmin near Greifswald, Germany. Besides meeting the highest international environmental standards when implementing the pipeline project, Nord Stream observes national and international maritime and legal requirements during construction, testing and operation of the pipeline. Construction of Line 1 began in April 2010, and was completed in June 2011. Transportation of gas through Line 1 began in mid-November 2011. From the last quarter of 2012, gas transport through the second line will start. For more information, please visit our website at http://www.nord-stream.com
