Poland Halts Yamal Pipeline Gas Deliveries
Poland's state gas pipeline operator Gaz-System said on Wednesday the country has stopped taking in gas deliveries via the Yamal pipeline due to poor quality of gas and currently plans to maintain limits on gas transit until June 23.
"Due to the poor quality of the natural gas, Gaz-System cannot receive gas deliveries for the domestic transit system at the joint connection point (PWP) on the Yamal pipeline," Gaz-System said in a statement.
"Limits on the transit capacity ... are planned to be maintained until June 23, 0600 (local Polish time)".
Gaz-System also said that halting the shipments of gas to the national system from the Yamal pipeline had no impact on the security and balance of the Polish domestic gas distribution system.
