Nord Stream Pipeline is the natural gas pipeline linking the Russian natural gas recourses to German energy market and further markets over Europe. The natural gas is delivered from Siberia to Vyborg in Russia, where the natural gas is pumped into the Nord Stream pipeline and transported to Greifswald in Germany through under waters of Baltic Sea. The project consists of two twin parallel pipelines, which both have capacity of 27.5 bcm (billion cubic meters) natural gas transportation. The first line of the twin pipeline was put into function in November, 2011 and the second line is expected to be launched in 2012.
