The Danish Energy Agency has issued a permit to Gazprom's Swiss subsidiary Nord Stream 2 AG to carry out conservation work on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea. It was damaged by a series of explosions in 2022.
"The work aims to preserve the damaged pipeline by installing customised plugs at each of the open pipe ends to prevent further gas blow-out and the introduction of oxygenated seawater," the Agency said.
Nord Stream 2 AG, the Danish regulator noted, plans to carry out the work in the second or third quarter of 2025. It is expected to last two to three weeks.

Nord Stream 2 is an expansion of the first stream, which Gazprom launched in 2011. The 1,200-kilometre-long gas pipeline runs under the Baltic Sea, bypassing transit states such as Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, and other Eastern European and Baltic countries.
