The construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was fully completed on 10 September. According to Gazprom, the first gas supplies to the European market could be expected during this heating season.

Nord Stream 2 AG, which operates the pipeline, stated on Monday that it had started filling the first string with gas in order to reach the pressure needed for future testing.

"As of 4 October, the gas-in procedure for the first string of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline has started. This string will be gradually filled to build the required inventory and pressure as a prerequisite for the later technical tests", the operator said in a statement, adding that "Pre-commissioning steps for the second string are ongoing".
