A key pipeline conveying Russian natural gas to Europe will shut down for three days at the end of this month to undergo “routine maintenance," Russia’s state-owned energy company Gazprom said Friday.
In a statement posted online, Gazprom said the only operational turbine at a key compressor station along the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which links western Russia and Germany, will shut down for maintenance from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2.
