Gas Flows to Cove Point LNG Go to Zero, Shut Down for Maintenance

Feedgas flows from the Marcellus/Utica to the Cove Point LNG export facility located on the shore of Maryland fell to zero yesterday. It was the start of the facility's annual maintenance outage. The question is, how long will Cove Point be out of commission for liquefying and exporting LNG? There are conflicting reports. Last year, the facility was closed from Oct. 1-27 -- nearly a month! In most years, the closure lasts around three weeks (see our stories about previous years). This time around, Reuters is reporting Cove Point will be down just a week, from Sept. 21-29. We don't think that's quite accurate.
