JGC Holdings Corporation recently announced that with its partner the Fluor Corporation, it has now handed “Production Train 2” over. This includes the complete construction area for the LNG Canada Project.
This milestone is the first phase of the North American LNG (liquefied natural gas) mega-project based in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
A joint-venture, LNG Canada is led by Shell, via its affiliate in the nation, Shell Canada Energy, and Petronas through the North Montney LNG Limited Partnership. Several other partners are involved, including the Korea Gas Corporation and the Mitsubishi Corporation. Oil and gas major and lubricant maker Shell has a 40 per cent interest while Petronas holds 25 per cent.
The LNG Canada site in British Columbia includes both a receiving and liquefaction plant for natural gas, a marine terminal that can accommodate LNG carriers, LNG loading lines, a tugboat dock, LNG processing units, a rail yard, storage tanks, flare stacks and a facility for water treatment. The project is engineered expressly to export natural gas from Canada to international markets. It prioritises economic development, indigenous engagement and environmental performance in Canada’s westernmost province.
Located on the coast, the LNG Canada site benefits from clear access to an ice-free harbour and an abundant supply of natural gas. The facility is a first for Canada, and has an expected production capacity of 14 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas per annum.
JGC Corporation has extensive experience supplying first-class EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) projects internationally, including LNG plants. This recent landmark reinforces the corporation’s dedication to supporting sustainable development and worldwide energy transition.
