RE:More pain for EuropePile on the pain.
>>>Bloomberg) -- Russia’s Gazprom PJSC said its key gas pipeline to Europe won’t reopen as planned, moving the region a step closer to blackouts, rationing and a severe recession.The pipeline was due to reopen on Saturday after maintenance. But in a last-minute move, the company said a technical issue had been found and the pipe can’t operate again until it’s fixed....Gazprom said a leak of oil was detected at a gas turbine that helps pump gas into the link, and there’s no indication how long fixing it may take. Similar oil leaks were previously detected at some other turbines, which are out of action now, and “complete elimination of oil leakage on these turbines is possible only in the conditions of a specialized repair company,” Gazprom said....Gazprom said Siemens -- which makes the turbines -- had confirmed the leak and needed to make repairs away from the site.
