The joint venture formed by Fluor Corporation and JGC Corporation has been selected to upgrade the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) project for the second phase of the LNG Canada plant, located in Kitimat, British Columbia. This phase seeks to evaluate the feasibility of expanding one of Canada’s energy facilities in North America. North America’s most important energy facility.
Following the successful start-up of the first phase and the dispatch of the first cargo of liquefied natural gas liquefied natural gas, the consortiumThe consortium takes on a central role by assuming the initial technical design for a possible expansion of the plant. The plant, operated by LNG CanadaThe plant, operated by LNG Canada, already has an installed capacity to process up to 14 million tons per year and has a 40-year export license.
The LNG Canada plant and its role in the global marketplace
The LNG Canada plant plant benefits from an ice-free port and access to natural gas. abundant natural gas abundant natural gas, which positions it as a strategic link for export to Asian and European markets. Should Phase 2 materialize, it would expand infrastructure for storage, processing and transportation, cementing Canada as a key supplier of low-carbon energy. low-carbon energy.
The awarded contract has no disclosed value, but represents a critical technical step prior to a final investment decision by the project partners. These include Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation and KOGAS, who continue to evaluate scenarios for scaling up production.
Technical commitment to the energy transition
Fluor, with more than 75 years of presence in Canada, brings its expertise in engineering and construction of complex energy projects. The award reaffirms its participation in the transition to less carbon-intensive sources through technical solutions that strengthen the liquefied natural gas value chain.
With this assignment, the Fluor-JGC JV, in addition to upgrading designs, also sustains the momentum of the first major LNG export hub. LNG export hub export hub in the country, boosting Canada’s competitiveness in the global clean energy market.
