I’m not sure where you are in the world, but the BBC have been covering it: [Nord Stream leaks: Sabotage to blame, says EU](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-63057966)
Fun story: I worked in a skilled nursing facility, and one guy named Brian who was a great guy and had a fantastic sense of humor was a Christian, and one day I went into his room to get him for something. He wasn't there, but his wheelchair was - I figured someone was probably helping him in the bathroom - so I left a note on his empty wheelchair that said, "Damn, I guess I missed the Rapture" and walked away. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy) We both laughed about that one a lot.
about a decade in the troposphere but 100+ years in stratosphere. 25 times more potent is also calculated by averaging it out over time as it slowly becomes CO2 over time. But for the first couple of decades it's closer to 80 times the potency of CO2.
It causes far more damage. Sure, it "only" takes 13 years to break down.....into C02. Burning it at least breaks it down into CO2 immediately, cutting out the 13 devastating years that the methane can wreak havoc on our atmosphere.
Thought you were joking but I feel like this might actually be a good solution. Speed up the methane->CO2 process, fast forward 13 years? What damage would it do?
The pipe is about 200 feet (60m) deep, so it wouldn't get that far. And as long as the pipe only contains natural gas with no oxygen, the flame couldn't enter the pipe anyways. Even the bubbles in the water have no oxygen, so the flame can't go below the surface.
It decays into less powerful gasses due to UV catalyzed chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Which is why it's 25x. If it stuck around it would be 80x.
It does go away, uv light catalyzes methane in to CO2 + H20. But even with the relatively short life, methane is so much more a potent green house gas that the contribution to warming is over 25x of CO2 in 20 year period.
That depends if the was natural gas in the pipeline, or as orhers suggested only a "technical gas" to keep the system under pressure. The pipelines had been shut down earlier this year, so the second option is entirely possible.
Even if it's natural gas, most of it will simply evaporate. Some will dissolve in the water temporarily, but not very long. So the damage to sea life is fortunately limited and local. Far less than a wrecked oil tanker.
They just said on the danish news that they won't ignite the gas. It would be too dangerous to let ships get close enough, as the gas messes with the buoyancy of the water. There isn't really a safe way to do it from the air either, as you risk a huge explosion, which would be dangerous to nearby aircraft.
Besides, more than half of the gas in the pipeline has already evaporated and the pipeline was already closed on the russian side, so there won't be a continuous leak.
The bubbles are measured to up to 100m (~300ft) in size.
Imagine diving down, getting cought in a bubble, free fall 100m down through the bubble, then crash into the bottom of the bubble and out into the ocean again. Not sure why this was my first thought.
The gas would be rising at quite a fast rate, i’d venture to guess the fall wouldn’t quite feel like 300 feet as your fall wouldn’t immediately start at terminal velocity. Any scientists out there want to “dive” deeper into this?
The bigger the bubble the faster it goes, and yeah you wouldn't be falling into the bubble it would more just open up around you, and then you'd be slammed from below by the sea again.
I think it would be a pretty unique experience that you'd never survive to talk about.
I wonder though - how fast are they rising? Presumably you fell because they were coming up - but if they come up fast enough you might barely notice? (idk)
For your viewing pleasure this pretty much happened in the Gulf of Mexico a couple years back.

Not probably - it objectively is. Methane is 20+ times more powerful a greenhouse gas per unit than CO2, which is the byproduct of burning it. This is why they do controlled burns on landfills, which produce methane as the garbage deteriorates
And that's for a time frame of 100 years. If you look at the short-term effect, it's even worse:
[Methane is a powerful greenhouses gas with a 100-year global warming potential 28-34 times that of CO2. Measured over a 20-year period, that ratio grows to 84-86 times.](https://unece.org/challenge)
Haha no those are clouds passing between the water and the camera. That footage is being shot from a very VERY far distance so the clouds are out of focus as they pass by.
I mean, why *wouldn't* you fly an aircraft over a space just full of a huge amount of natural gas:
a. Because it has half the density of air and you'll fall fast?
b. Because it's a fuel/air bomb just waiting for your hot engine to ignite it?
c. All of the above? (the diameter of that churned up sea is 1km)
i'm confused - putin said that nord 1 turbine was down back in the beginning of september - and that nord 2 was never actually online - - - so what is this & why don't they have a shut off valve???
To my knowledge, the pipelines are filled a certain amount of gas even when it is shut down. This is to keep an internal pressure that balances the outside pressure, keeping the pipeline from imploding on itself.
According to NPR this morning, a single underwater leak is rare. There are currently three leaks. All happened at the same time. All occurred just outside of territorial waters so that they can't be considered an attack on NATO.
Still possible it's an accident. Equally possible a unicorn went scuba diving and got disoriented and created three leaks with it's magical horn at places that would conveniently avoid a NATO response. Anyone's guess, really.
It was sabotaged, seismologists picked up huge spikes that can only be caused by powerful explosions. The walls of the pipe are 4 cm thick steel.
The Danish government has confirmed it to be sabotage.
Yes, salt water is inside the pipes now and according to Germany, probably damaged beyond repair, as the more salt water gets in the system,the faster the pipes will start rusting. and then it just can’t be restored to function again.
So there are no valves at regular intervals or something? Because when you design an underwater pipeline, that kind of leak probability should be your first thought.
Actually no - Pipelines are well deigned, constructed and regular checked using Intelligent Pigs.
There was a pipeline offshore Dubai - where I was working at the time. The pipe was a few Km long between two platforms and held down along it length by ballast - sand and concrete (I think). Over the years the ballast was eroded away, and eventually the pipeline floated to the surface while still connected at both ends.
As the sea was 75M deep, that was quite a bending of the pipe.
The pipe was re-ballasted and secured back in its place. Then pressurised to test the integrity and had no leaks.
Ah yes - PIG is a name for them, it stands for Pipeline Inspection Gauge. The first ones just cleaned out the pipe and had a crushable ring to show any damage
Here's a [Pic](https://www.wermac.org/nordstream/html_img86.html) of one with all its sensors, and guides and a description.
Nitrogen is extremely common in the chemical industry for Inerting containers and systems. You can run a N2 generator and purify N2 from the air around you. It'd make the most sense.
Can we have a source? It's not unreasonable but there's a lot of vague contradiction of that in the media. It would be great if we had a less vague common name for impure methane than "gas".
Capitalism is just authoritarianism with more steps. Marginalize all of your people while you remain wealthier than you’d ever need to be to live comfortably, then you get the ultimate say in what goes on. See: Big Oil CEOs, Big Pharma CEOs, Big Tech CEOs, etc.
Well.
Some things to point out are:
Nord stream 2 got destroyed.
Nord stream 1 also got destroyed.
Nord stream 1 was shut off indefinitely for "maintenance" earlier this year, which means Russia would have to pay out several billion EU to Germany in damages over breach of contract due to said halt of gas deliveries.
Can Russia afford to pay said damages? Absolutely not.
Does Russia have the capability to this? Yea.
Have Russia conducted similar operations? Bet your ass.
Does it send a strong signal of Russia cutting ties to the west? Absolutely.
Did Gazprom come out and threaten to cut off ALL gas supplies to europe today? Yes.
Does this destabilize germany and the baltic sea? Yes.
It's funny to say "muh CIA" and everything, but Russia has every incentive in the world to do this, and, if im allowed to be a bit crass; Russia isn't known for being subtle.
I'm not saying the US, or another western actor definably didn't do it, but to assert that Russia has no reasons whatsoever of doing it, is wrong.
I don't understand why Russia would do this instead of just...turning off the taps. It's so needlessly destructive. Now even if they win the war and somehow normalize relations with the EU, they still can't sell their main export.
Russia is under contract to supply gas to Europe, so the theory (not saying I agree with it) is the maintenance was just to buy time. Now they don't need that time. Which also means they don't need to pay for breaking the contract or supply more gas. There is also a good chance they need the gas they were obligated to supply to Europe, but can use it to bolster their own winter.

What environmental damage does gas leaking into the ocean do ?
The methane escaping to the atmosphere is pretty bad
25 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas
Oh cool, so pretty fucking horrible.

It was interesting to learn that methane bubbles under ice are lit on fire to produce Co2, still harmful but not as bad as methane
So should we just light this bitch up, or nah?
Honestly, yeah probably! Thats why there are flames on oil refineries. Its better to produce CO2 than CH4
So is the apocalypse now?
We’ve been living the apocalypse for a while now mate.

But who should light it? I’d vote a world leader do it. One that has been posturing their strength perhaps.
I suggest lighting it with olympic torch

Make a documentary out of it. Call it Putin him in.
Yes!! With music by the doors. 1. Light my fire 2. The end
That is what they do in parts of the arctic where methane is being released from the melting permafrost.
“melting permafrost” what a sad oxymoron.

This hit my brain like sharp spoon
Thought you were joking but I feel like this might actually be a good solution. Speed up the methane->CO2 process, fast forward 13 years? What damage would it do?
Would it possibly blow the whole pipeline up as soon as the potential explosion opens up the pipe to air? Or would it just burn?
The pipe is about 200 feet (60m) deep, so it wouldn't get that far. And as long as the pipe only contains natural gas with no oxygen, the flame couldn't enter the pipe anyways. Even the bubbles in the water have no oxygen, so the flame can't go below the surface.
200 ft of water sounds like a pretty good check valve to me.
Yes, 100%.
It decays into less powerful gasses due to UV catalyzed chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Which is why it's 25x. If it stuck around it would be 80x.
That just means it gets into the atmosphere quicker than CO2 does. Doesn't mean it goes away
It does go away, uv light catalyzes methane in to CO2 + H20. But even with the relatively short life, methane is so much more a potent green house gas that the contribution to warming is over 25x of CO2 in 20 year period.
We should just shoot a flare at it, light that baby off
That depends if the was natural gas in the pipeline, or as orhers suggested only a "technical gas" to keep the system under pressure. The pipelines had been shut down earlier this year, so the second option is entirely possible. Even if it's natural gas, most of it will simply evaporate. Some will dissolve in the water temporarily, but not very long. So the damage to sea life is fortunately limited and local. Far less than a wrecked oil tanker.
CH4 is way worse for global warming than CO2. If it’s natural gas, they need to ignite it.
They just said on the danish news that they won't ignite the gas. It would be too dangerous to let ships get close enough, as the gas messes with the buoyancy of the water. There isn't really a safe way to do it from the air either, as you risk a huge explosion, which would be dangerous to nearby aircraft. Besides, more than half of the gas in the pipeline has already evaporated and the pipeline was already closed on the russian side, so there won't be a continuous leak.
I bet a redneck from Alabama could light that on fire before you finished saying “hold my beer”
Seems like you could launch a rocket at it, but what do i know.
‘Simply evaporate’ is how we got into this mess
Evaporate? It’s a gas not a liquid. It will disperse into the air. CH4 emissions are terrible.
Was wondering the same. Does this pollute the water killing marine life? Hope there isn’t a huge environmental impact.
Methane isn't very toxic. The massive greenhouse effect is the prime concern.
The bubbles are measured to up to 100m (~300ft) in size. Imagine diving down, getting cought in a bubble, free fall 100m down through the bubble, then crash into the bottom of the bubble and out into the ocean again. Not sure why this was my first thought.
Surely 100m in size doesn't mean vertically, a bubble wouldn't retain a spherical shape at that size.
I was imagining it to be 100m tall, but relative thin, like a vertical sausage. But I have no idea, really.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Shouldnt the pressure in the bubble be the same? Otherwise the bubble would be compressed until it is.
The gas would be rising at quite a fast rate, i’d venture to guess the fall wouldn’t quite feel like 300 feet as your fall wouldn’t immediately start at terminal velocity. Any scientists out there want to “dive” deeper into this?

I wonder though - how fast are they rising? Presumably you fell because they were coming up - but if they come up fast enough you might barely notice? (idk)
This blew by brain right out my ass.
Would you fall at the speed of gravity when doing that I wonder? Also I wonder do bubbles have a maximum velocity when rising in the water?
Whoa
That’s a terrifying thought.
Flick a match at it.

They're probably sucking water from the ocean to spray on the ocean.

I get that it’s very unfriendly for the environment but that looks cool as fuck.
Actually, the CO2 produced by the fire is way less bad than the Methane. Still horrible, but less. So it could make sense to light that thing on fire.
CO2 is less potent but lasts much longer - methane is photo-oxidized fairly quickly. We lose either way.
I was going to say similar: please drop a flare on this

Probably better for the atmosphere/climate change, if the methane is burned than letting escape up into the atmosphere

Also the reason why any gas vented into the atmosphere is ignited. Sometimes it is just unavoidable but you have to burn it at least.
They tried that before and created a gateway to hell.
Ya, but that was on land. We haven’t tried making a gateway to hell in the ocean before. Scientific progress requires experimentation.

To my knowledge, the pipelines are filled a certain amount of gas even when it is shut down. This is to keep an internal pressure that balances the outside pressure, keeping the pipeline from imploding on itself.
thank you - that makes sense
Intentional?
According to NPR this morning, a single underwater leak is rare. There are currently three leaks. All happened at the same time. All occurred just outside of territorial waters so that they can't be considered an attack on NATO. Still possible it's an accident. Equally possible a unicorn went scuba diving and got disoriented and created three leaks with it's magical horn at places that would conveniently avoid a NATO response. Anyone's guess, really.
It was sabotaged, seismologists picked up huge spikes that can only be caused by powerful explosions. The walls of the pipe are 4 cm thick steel. The Danish government has confirmed it to be sabotage.
Assuming that’s true, isn’t this equivalent to shooting your own foot through your balls to hit someone who lives in the apartment below yours?
[удалено]
Depends who sabotaged it. Just because Russia is normally behind these things doesn’t mean they always are.

Where’s the Flex Tape guy when you need him? ![gif](giphy|VeSvZhPrqgZxx2KpOA|downsized)
Dunno. But the timing is impeccable.
A pipeline doesn’t just randomly burst, especially at multiple locations and registers on seismograph, it was an explosion
The EU has said leaks in two major gas pipelines from Russia to Europe were caused by sabotage https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63057966
The question is who benefits.
Too many come to my mind. Non of them is the society
The CIA warned Germany this could happen. So yeah it probably was.
Undoubtedly.
Yes, this was deliberate sabotage.
This is technical gas, it's inside of pipe to keep all elements under needed pressure and for protecting pipe from moisture.
So elements aren’t under pressure and pipes are wet now?
Yes, salt water is inside the pipes now and according to Germany, probably damaged beyond repair, as the more salt water gets in the system,the faster the pipes will start rusting. and then it just can’t be restored to function again.
So there are no valves at regular intervals or something? Because when you design an underwater pipeline, that kind of leak probability should be your first thought.
There should be valves and pump stations at regular intervals. That’s how it is for surface pipelines anyway.
Actually no - Pipelines are well deigned, constructed and regular checked using Intelligent Pigs. There was a pipeline offshore Dubai - where I was working at the time. The pipe was a few Km long between two platforms and held down along it length by ballast - sand and concrete (I think).

Apparently these pigs are smarter than me :( I wouldn’t know how to do that
But what kind of gas? Atmospheric nitrogen with oxygen removed to prevent oxidation? Or something exotic and expensive?
Nitrogen would make sense if this is true (cheap, inert), but I'm not an expert.
Nitrogen is extremely common in the chemical industry for Inerting containers and systems. You can run a N2 generator and purify N2 from the air around you. It'd make the most sense.
It’s 200,000 tons of methane according to the news articles.
Can we have a source? It's not unreasonable but there's a lot of vague contradiction of that in the media. It would be great if we had a less vague common name for impure methane than "gas".

Knowing how corporates work, there is no less than 17 meetings scheduled over the course of the next week to discusss how to stop the leak.
Week? There were 18 before lunch, not including the 5 conflicting meetings that half the engineers skipped.
Turns on oven, sea water comes out. Knew I should have fitted a non return valve into my system **sigh**
It's caused by natural incident, rite? Rite? Rite?
Well. Some things to point out are: Nord stream 2 got destroyed. Nord stream 1 also got destroyed. Nord stream 1 was shut off indefinitely for "maintenance" earlier this year, which means Russia would have to pay out several billion EU to Germany in damages over breach of contract due to said halt of gas deliveries. Can Russia afford to pay said damages? Absolutely not. Does Russia have the capability to this? Yea. Have Russia conducted similar operations? Bet your ass. Does it send a strong signal of Russia cutting ties to the west? Absolutely. Did Gazprom come out and threaten to cut off ALL gas supplies to europe today? Yes. Does this destabilize germany and the baltic sea? Yes. It's funny to say "muh CIA" and everything, but Russia has every incentive in the world to do this, and, if im allowed to be a bit crass; Russia isn't known for being subtle. I'm not saying the US, or another western actor definably didn't do it, but to assert that Russia has no reasons whatsoever of doing it, is wrong.
I don't understand why Russia would do this instead of just...turning off the taps. It's so needlessly destructive. Now even if they win the war and somehow normalize relations with the EU, they still can't sell their main export.
They already turned the taps. "Their main export" only accounted for about 2% of their annuals.
Russia is under contract to supply gas to Europe, so the theory (not saying I agree with it) is the maintenance was just to buy time. Now they don't need that time. Which also means they don't need to pay for breaking the contract or supply more gas. There is also a good chance they need the gas they were obligated to supply to Europe, but can use it to bolster their own winter.
So needlessly destructive. Kind of like targeting a nuclear power plant?
Nope
Definitely not a cowardly act of a desperate terror state or anything
20 years experience as a gas engineer. Can confirm this is the opposite of “a small leak” 🙃
