NorthRiver Midstream has announced its Fort Nelson Gas Plant operations are being suspended.
According to the company, this is due to a significant reduction in gas volumes being supplied by regional producers to the plant for processing.
“For over a year, NorthRiver has been regularly engaging with pertinent stakeholders to find long-term viable solutions and initiatives to ensure a stable supply of producer gas volumes from the region to continue plant operations,” the company stated.
“Currently, NorthRiver has no future certainty on sustained area production as producers have provided notice that they do not intend to resume production that was shut in due to wildfires.”
The facility employs 42 unionized and six non-union employees while enabling additional regional employment through upstream natural gas production.
In the meantime, NorthRiver said they remain committed to continuing to work with area producers, the province, and other stakeholders on solutions that would allow for gas processing to resume.
