Map of the proposed Nord Stream and connecting pipelines. Nord Stream (German–English mixed expression for "North Stream"; Russian: Северный поток, Severny potok) is a network of offshore natural gas pipelines which run under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany to provide Western Europe with natural gas.
The Nord Stream offshore pipeline is operated by Nord Stream AG. [21] [33] It runs from the Vyborg compressor station at Portovaya Bay along the bottom of the Baltic Sea to Greifswald, Germany. The length of the subsea pipeline is 1,222 km (759 mi), of which 1.5 km (0.93 mi) are on Russian inland, 121.8 km (65.8 nmi) in Russian territorial ...
The German part of the pipeline consists of 85 km (53 mi) of offshore pipeline and 29 km (18 mi) onshore pipeline connecting the landfall with the Nord Stream 2 receiving terminal. [51] Nord Stream 2 has two parallel lines, each with a capacity of 27.5 billion m 3 (970 billion cu ft) of natural gas per year.
Nord Stream pipelines had a total capacity of pumping some 110 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas per annum, more than a half of Russia's total export capacity.
Both Nord Stream 1 and 2 were however pressurized with gas. [36] The Nord Stream 2 pipeline contained the equivalent of an estimated 150 million cubic metres (5.3 billion cubic feet) to 300 million cubic metres (11 billion cubic feet) of gas, pressurized to over 100 bar, at the time of the explosions.

The incident began on September 26 when operators of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline noticed that the pressure had suddenly dropped from 105 to just 7 bars. (A bar is a unit of measure in the metric ...
