据天然气加工和液化天然气2021年7月28日报道，北溪-2天然气管道运营商表示，在管道铺设船Akademik Cherskiy完成了最初计划的工作量以后，备受政治影响的从俄罗斯到德国的北溪- 2海底天然气管道的铺设作业迄今已完成99%。
耗资110亿美元的北溪-2天然气管道旨在绕过俄罗斯的政治敌人乌克兰将现有的北溪管道的输气能力提高一倍，达到每年1100亿立方米。北溪天然气管道一直是莫斯科和华盛顿之间紧张关系的焦点。
这条管道的建设受到了美国在2019年底实施的制裁、政治紧张局势以及华盛顿增加向欧洲销售海运液化天然气的计划的阻碍。
北溪-2天然气管道运营商周三还表示，《Fortuna号》管道铺设船目前正在继续完成管道的剩余部分铺设作业。
尽管美国长期反对这一项目，但拜登政府得出的结论是，这一项目太过先进，无法停止。 德国强烈支持这条管道，美国上周宣布在这一问题上与德国达成停止争执协议。
运营该项目的公司本月早些时候曾表示，北溪- 2天然气管道将于8月底完工，并在今年投入使用

Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is almost finished
The much-politicised Nord Stream 2 undersea gas pipeline from Russia to Germany is 99% complete, the pipeline operator said, after the pipelay vessel Akademik Cherskiy finished its initially planned workload.
The $11 billion Nord Stream 2, designed to bypass Russia's political foe Ukraine and double the capacity of the existing Nord Stream pipeline to 110 billion cubic metres per year, has been a focal point of tensions between Moscow and Washington.
The construction of the pipeline has been hampered by sanctions introduced by the United States at the end of 2019, political tensions and Washington's plans to boost sales of its seaborne liquefied natural gas to Europe.
The Nord Stream 2 operator also said on Wednesday the pipelay barge Fortuna was currently continuing work on the remaining part of the pipeline.
Despite long-standing U.S. objections to the project, President Joe Biden's administration concluded that it was too advanced to stop. Germany, which strongly backs the pipeline, and the United States announced last week what amounted to a truce over the issue.
Nord Stream 2 should be finished in late August and enter service this year, the company running the project said earlier this month
