It’s probably worth adding here that according to a quick google search - the cost of Nordstream2 project is $11B. So one might imagine that the costs of potential repairs are negligible in comparison.

Salt water entering the pipeline can damage more than just the single length of pipe that has the hole in it, so fixing it is can be uneconomical.

The repair costs have been estimated (by Nord Stream AG) to start at around $500 million. No word yet on whether they actually plan to repair it.
