MoBay Storage Hub LLC will provide high-deliverability, multi-cycle (HDMC) gas storage services to the Southeast market. Located at the confluence of major market and supply area pipeline systems, MoBay would initially connect with five major interstate pipelines systems serving the Southeast and Northeast markets. Currently, the combined pipeline take-away capacity at MoBay is over 4.0 Bcf per day. MoBay will be the most southeasterly HDMC storage facility in the United States and the only storage facility directly connected to the Gulfstream Natural Gas System. The proposed MoBay compressor station will be located directly adjacent to Gulfstream Station 410 in Mobile County, Alabama.
MoBay's unique location will put shippers downstream of many major pipeline constraints and closer to growing natural gas loads in the greater Southeast and Florida markets. MoBay's eastern location also fits well with the telescoping transportation capacity of many eastbound shippers and may significantly reduce the need for firm upstream transmission capacity. Potential interconnections with major supply area pipelines and processing plants will provide MoBay shippers with multiple sources supply at a single hub location.
