BERLIN, Sept 2 (Reuters) – Nomination figures for the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline that suggest gas could flow again from Saturday should be viewed with caution, said a German economy ministry spokesperson.

“Things will become clearer over the course of Saturday morning, we can only closely watch the situation,” said the spokesperson.

Gazprom this week said that a three-day maintenance of the Portovaya compressor station would last from Aug. 31, 0100 GMT (0300 CET) until Sept. 3, 0100 GMT (0300 CET). read more
