Do you know what Russia is doing now with these millions of cubic kilometers of gas? No, you don't know... She BURNS them! Stupidly, primitively burns, to its own detriment, but with the hope of spoiling the EU!
This is the greatness of Russia
The problem is that this gas, these volumes of gas, Russia will never return, will not make a profit, but will only once again prove that Russia's "moves" are pure idiocy and terrorism
But this will soon come to an end, very soon!
Are you talking
about it? This is typical stupid western propaganda. This is the flare stack, which is necessary for the safety of production, burning discharges from safety valves. When gas is produced in Norway or somewhere else, such flare stacks also burn there. This is necessary in order not to poison the environment in case of a possible leakage of natural gas. Also, when oil is extracted in remote areas, associated gas is flared, because it is unprofitable to collect and transport it, plus for the same safety reasons. BP and Shell also do this.
Also in Russia, three and a half thousand memorials of the eternal flame are continuously burning in memory of the victory over fascism in World War II. But what kind of sadness is this for you, little Russophobic asshole?
Yes, yes, yes, it is! Only you own the truth and no one but you! I even believe you that you came up with and manage Gazprom! Don't be too nervous, soon the doctors will make rounds of patients
For people without the defeat of the mentality of propaganda:
In Russia today, in order to block gas supplies to the EU, gas is flared, because. it just has nowhere to go.
You ask "how is this nowhere to go" - I answer - from the largest gas supplier in the EU ... STOP ... Not the largest anymore, and Russia has also lost this status
now Norway is the largest gas supplier to the EU, and will increase supplies the next 2-3 years to level the economic terrorism of Russia
So, in the most miserable country, among the countries that supply gas, the gas transmission network is primitive and cannot redirect excess gas, for example, to China. And also this miserable country does not have enough storage for gas. And they are technologically backward, so the conservation of wells is a synonym for them - to destroy gas wells, because. on their own, without Western technology, they will not be able to de-mothball the wells, and no one will sell technology to terrorists!
That is why gas is burned in gas fields, on a huge scale! Please do not confuse it with the painful fantasies of the "cheers of the patriots of Russia", where they are trying to pass it off as technological torches that actually burn part of the gas as part of the production process. Let's just estimate the scale of flared gas?
So: one "Russian cheer patriot" wants to say, and he means only one station (he doesn't know about the others), that 4.34 million cubic meters are burned at the Gazprom LNG Portovaya station. m of fuel daily simply according to the technical process!
The plant is located near the compressor station at the beginning of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline. Gas from here went to Germany, but in mid-July, supplies were temporarily stopped. The cost of flared gas is about 10 million dollars a day. or $300 million per MONTH. Or 3.6 billion dollars a year! Does the truth ring true about "technological incineration"?!
