Poland said a leak in one of the Druzhba pipelines bringing oil from Russia to Europe hit supplies to Germany and was most likely caused by an accident, as Europe remains on high alert over its energy security
The discovery of the leak in the main route carrying oil to Germany, which operator PERN said it found on Tuesday evening, comes as Europe is on high alert over its energy security in the aftermath of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine which has cut supplies of gas.
Germany said it was hoping for more information soon from Poland about the cause of the leak and how it can be repaired. Berger said the leak was located 70 km west of Plock, where Poland's biggest refinery owned by PKN Orlen is located. As a result, part of the pipeline's capacity towards Germany was not available, he said, adding that repairs would likely "not take long".
Firefighters in the mid-northern Kujawsko-Pomorskie region of Poland said they had pumped about 400 cubic metres of oil and water from the site, which was in the middle of a corn field.The total capacity of the western section of both lines that carry oil from central Poland to Germany is 27 million tonnes of crude oil per year.
