There was no timeline for the return of gas supply via the pipeline. It had been scheduled to resume operation on Saturday morning after a three-day maintenance break.\n\nhttps://twitter.com/Share_Talk/status/1565583677274333190?s=20\n\nGazprom stated in [Telegram](https://t.me/gazprom/886) that representatives from Siemens signed the report on oil leak detection.\n\nGazprom quoted Siemens saying that repairs needed could only be made in “speciality workshops”.\n\nGazprom released a Telegram statement stating that it had provided a photograph showing oil leaking from compressor stations.\n\nNord Stream 1, which runs beneath the Baltic Sea to supply Germany with gas, was operating at 20% capacity before flow halts were made for three days this week.\n\nGazprom claims that European Union sanctions have caused technical problems which prevented it from being able to supply the entire volume of contracted gas through its pipeline.\n\nSiemens Energy denies this claim and claims that there are no legal barriers to maintaining the pipeline."}
