The U.K.'s Theddlethorpe gas terminal is offline, a spokeswoman for operator ConocoPhillips (COP) said Tuesday.

Data on the Web site of U.K. gas network operator National Grid shows gas flows from the terminal sank from a rate of around 17 million cubic meters a day just before 0600 GMT Tuesday to zero.

It isn't yet clear why the terminal is offline, and the company declined to say what was responsible for the outage or when normal output was expected to resume.
