Operated

The ExxonMobil-operated Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP) facility returned to normal production levels for gas day Sunday, according to Spectra Energy subsidiaries Maritimes Canada and Maritimes U.S. The facility produces between 400 and 500 MMcf/d of natural gas and 20,000 b/d of natural gas liquids near Sable Island on the edge of the Nova Scotian continental shelf in eastern Canada. The SOEP planned maintenance outage, which began in early May, was originally expected to end for gas day May 11.

The Hess Corp.-operated Sea Robin Gas Processing Plant was shut in late Tuesday morning, according to a notice by Sea Robin Pipeline. The pipeline reduced Plant Volume Reduction nominations by two-thirds for Wednesday’s gas day and said they would be cut to zero Thursday for the duration of the plant outage, during which gas will continue to be dehydrated. Shippers were encouraged to call downstream delivery point operators to see if they will be accepting gas from Sea Robin Pipeline during this outage.
