Name of the Project
LNG Canada export facility.
Location
Kitimat, British Columbia, in Canada, in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation.
Client
LNG Canada, comprising Shell Canada Energy (40%); Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), through its wholly owned subsidiary, the North Montney LNG Limited Partnership (25%); PetroChina Canada, a subsidiary of PetroChina Company (15%); Diamond LNG Canada, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation (15%); and Korea Gas Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary Kogas Canada LNG (5%).
Project Description
LNG Canada is a long-life asset that will initially export liquefied natural gas (LNG) from two processing units, or trains, totalling 14-million tonnes a year, with the potential to expand to four trains in the future.
Construction will be a modular LNG train design using proven technology.
The construction of the 670 km Coastal GasLink pipeline from the LNG plant to Shell’s Groundbirch field will be undertaken by Trans Canada, which will be the owner and operator of the pipeline.
Potential Job Creation
The LNG plant and Coastal GasLink pipeline will together employ about 10 000 people at peak construction, with up to 900 people at the plant during the operations of the first phase.
Value
The total estimated development cost of the plant is about $14-billion.
Duration
First LNG is expected before in the mid-2020s.
Latest Developments
LNG Canada took a final investment decision to build the LNG Canada export facility in October this year.
