A project to develop one of the largest remaining known natural gas deposits in North America currently is underway in the Atlantic waters of Canada. The Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP) is a $3 billion venture to develop six major natural gas fields that lie 10 to 40 km north of the edge of the Scotian Shelf in waters 20 to 40 m deep. The project involves constructing and installing offshore platforms, drilling up to 30 wells, building onshore gas process facilities, laying 402 km (250 miles) of subsea pipeline, and providing comprehensive corrosion prevention. SOEP will produce natural gas and condensate, to be separated and processed at the Goldboro Gas Plant (Nova Scotia, Canada) into market-quality gas. The gas will then be carried by the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline, a $1.7 billion, 1,051-km (653-mile) underground transmission pipeline, from Goldboro to markets in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and into the US through Maine and New Hampshire before interconnecting with the North American pipeline grid near Dracut, Massachusetts. The paper describes production, building the offshore products on platform, and corrosion concerns.
