BERLIN \u00a0– The planned Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany raises U.S. intelligence and military concerns since it would allow Moscow to place new listening and monitoring technology in the Baltic Sea, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sandra Oudkirk, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Diplomacy, said in Berlin that she would meet German officials to voice Washington\u2019s concerns about the subsea project.<\/p>\n

A consortium of western companies and Russia\u2019s Gazprom (GAZP.MM<\/a><\/span>) said this week it was starting preparatory work on the project off Germany\u2019s Baltic coast.<\/p>\n

Oudkirk told reporters that the U.S. Congress had given the president new authorities to impose sanctions against a variety of Russian pipeline projects.<\/p>\n

\n
Any companies involved in such projects were in \u201can elevated position of sanctions risk\u201d, she said. However, she added that Washington was focused on using diplomatic means to halt Nord Stream 2, one of several Russian projects to export gas to western Europe via routes avoiding Ukraine, with which Moscow is involved in a series of disputes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Oudkirk said Washington\u2019s objections included past Russian moves to turn off gas supplies to Ukraine and other countries, adding that it perpetuate \u201cvulnerabilities\u201d in Russian-European ties for another 30 to 40 years.<\/p>\n

The United States also opposes the TurkStream land pipeline that would run through Turkey for the same reasons, she said.<\/p>\n

MILITARY THREAT<\/h3>\n

She said the Baltic was a congested, sensitive military area. \u201cWhen we look at the ability of governments and companies to use infrastructure deployments as a means to convey devices and technologies that can listen and follow and monitor, that is a concern with regard to this particular undersea pipeline project in the Baltic Sea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new project would permit new technologies to be placed along the pipeline route and that is a threat,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Oudkirk rejected speculation that Washington was opposing the pipeline to help U.S. liquefied natural gas exports.<\/p>\n

The Nord Stream 2 project has said it will tap banks for financing in the fourth quarter of 2018 or early next year.<\/p>\n

Denmark must still rule whether the pipeline can be built near its coast, and other routine permissioning processes are still under way in Sweden and Russia.<\/p>\n

Oudkirk said Washington supported a Danish-Polish Baltic Pipe pipeline project because it would diversify sources and routes. The project, to be built by 2022, is Poland\u2019s flagship project aimed at reducing reliance on Russian gas.<\/p>\n

Gazprom\u2019s Western partners are energy companies Uniper (UN01.DE<\/a><\/span>), Wintershall BASFGn.DE, Engie (ENGIE.PA<\/a><\/span>), Austria\u2019s OMV (OMVV.VI<\/a><\/span>) and Anglo-Dutch group Shell (RDSa.L<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
