Maritimes & Northeast (M&N) deliveries into Tennessee at Dracut, MA were cut to zero for the gas days of Thursday and Friday and presumably will remain that way into the weekend due to processing problems at the Goldboro Gas Plant in Halifax, NS. Alan Jeffers of ExxonMobil Canada, the operator of Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP), said SOEP supplies into M&N had been reduced about 40% to 245 MMcf/d (from 400 MMcf/d normally). “Goldboro hopes to have the problem resolved in the next several days,” Jeffers said. A Northeast marketer said he understood Goldboro was having problems with its glycol processes, but Jeffers was unable to confirm that.
