1 Secure gas supply for Europe > Dr. Werner Rott, Deputy Project Director Engineering, Nord Stream AG th Pipeline Technology Conference, Hanover, 9-0 April 00 Energy infrastructure for Europe > Nord Stream: > TWO PARALLEL OFFSHORE PIPELINES of, km (transport capacity bcm/p.a.) > A DIRECT LINK to Russia s vast proven gas reserves > AN ADDITIONAL route complementing existing network and other planned pipelines Gas transported by Nord Stream can: > COVER % of the extra gas imports needed in the EU by 00 > PROVIDE 6 million European households with electricity and heating fuel > MAKE a substantial contribution to EU climate protection goals

2 Significant contribution to security of supply > 69 bcm 6 bcm 9 Import gap Σ 0 bcm Growing EU import needs 007 Decreasing European production 0 00 Domestic production Existing imports Additional import requirements Nord Stream Source: IEA, World Energy Outlook, Reference Scenario (November 009) Additional transport capacities needed > Pipelines put in operation since 00 Pipelines under construction or expansion Planned pipelines Source: European Commission, Priority Interconnection Plan 007; Nord Stream

3 Vast proven Russian gas reserves > Total reserves: 77,60 Sources: BP-Statistical Review of World Energy 009; IEA, WEO 009; Proven reserves are those quantities that can be recovered from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions with reasonable certainty (BP) Alternatives to Nord Stream > bcm of natural gas in terms of transportation > 80 extra oil tanker shipments in the North and Baltic Sea > 600 to 700 LNG tanker shipments in the North and Baltic Sea > 0,000 km² fields of corn to produce biogas over 8 times the size of the Netherlands bcm of gas in terms of energy production > 0 coal-fired plants > 9 nuclear power plants > 60,000 wind turbines 6

4 Project Planning > Current project status of contractual arrangements and permitting 7 All major contracts closed > Nord Stream already placed orders with a total value of 6 billion euros, including: > Pipe-production and coating Line : EUROPIPE (Germany, 7%) and OMK (Russia, %) Line : EUROPIPE (6%), OMK (%) and Sumitomo (Japan, 0%) > Weight coating and storage: EUPEC (France) > Pipe-laying: Saipem Services S.p.A. (Italy) Nord Stream is generating business and jobs for its partners in countries 8

6 A technology to rely on > Design, materials and technology to ensure safety A meticulously planned pipeline > Nord Stream: > DETERMINED the most efficient and environmentally friendly route for the pipeline > EMPLOYS optimal technologies, design and materials for safe transport of gas through the Baltic Sea > MINIMISES supply traffic thanks to an efficient logistics concept > MINIMISES the impact on the environment by taking e.g. spawning periods into account in the pipe-laying schedule > ENSURES maritime safety during construction > SETS UP an elaborate inspection and maintenance system

7 Pipeline design as the basis for pipeline integrity > > High-quality steel (DNV Offshore Standard OS-F0) > Steel thickness of 7- mm > Corrosion protection Anticorrosion coating of PE Aluminium / zinc anodes > Concrete coating of 60-0 mm > Risk evaluation Interaction with fishing vessels Stability criteria Natural hazards > Quality control Three levels of inspections from material, fabrication to construction by internal, external and third-party inspectors 00% weld-testing Pipeline concrete coating on top of the three-layer anticorrosion coating Robust pipeline Pipeline monitoring for safe operation > Description of the operational set-up: Landfall facilities Portovaya, Russia ) Unmanned control facility on site Pipeline inspection gauges (pigs) Landfall facilities Lubmin, Germany Unmanned control facilities on site Pipeline inspection gauges Nord Stream facilities integrated to the Greifswald Receiving Terminal (owned and operated by WINGAS/ E.ON-Ruhrgas) Headquarters Zug, Switzerland Main control room operating /7 all year Online data transfer from/to upstream and downstream facilities Backup control room ) The compressor station (owned and operated by Gazprom) located ca.. km upstream is not part of Nord Stream landfall facilities. Landfall facilities, Germany Two pipelines Landfall facilities, Russia Cable connections Main Control Room, Switzerland

8 Internal inspection during operation > > Baseline inspection within the first years of operation > Typical inspection by Pipeline Inspection gauges (PIGs) frequency every -8 years. Cleaning pig removal of dust/debris; no hydrocarbons expected (dry gas). Gauging pig detection of major deformations (insurance that pipeline is piggable). Calliper pig & IMU determination of shape: ovality, x,y,z-positions, stress, bending radius. MFL pig detection of material loss: corrosion, erosion, material defects, Logistics chain in the Baltic Sea > 6

9 Tailor-made logistics Scope of work for EUPEC > Concrete weight coating (CWC) Engineering, design and construction of two identical CWC plants Mukran, Germany Kotka, Finland Coating of 00,000 pipes at a rate of pipes per hour or 0 pipes a day Logistics Pipe receipt, pipe storage & multiple pipe handlings until pipe load-out Pipe transshipment to the marshalling yards Load-out onto the carrier vessels hours a day 7 Contact > Head Office > Nord Stream AG Grafenauweg 60 Zug / Switzerland Phone: info@nord-stream.com Dr. Werner Rott > Deputy Project Director Engineering werner.rott@nord-stream.com 8
