“ If they could get one of the three damaged sections back up, that would enable 50-55 bcm of natgas [annual] to bolster the European storage gas [added to the undamaged section].”

If one of the lines is truly undamaged, before they send the divers down they had best have their robots do a quick look-see of the undamaged pipe for any existing unexploded ordnance.
The latest MonkeyWerx delves into the 'how' of the sabotage. Includes the aircraft that delivered it, and the type of missile used. Shows the flight path, and its refueling for its *long* trip back home.
In other words, there may likely be no unexploded ordnance; however, what’s to prevent another act of sabotage to a repaired pipe?
Ever since the pipes were blown up, millions of gallons of salt water have been rushing in. 3x Engineering would end up with a very nice fat contract “attempting” repairs.
Excellent point.
