Fluor Corporation announced that its JGC Fluor BC LNG II joint venture (JFJV2), in partnership with JGC Corporation, has received a limited notice to proceed (LNTP) for the proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia.

The joint venture previously played a key role in delivering Phase 1 of the project, providing engineering, procurement, fabrication management, construction and commissioning services.

In 2025, JFJV completed two LNG processing trains and supporting infrastructure, including storage tanks, a rail yard, water treatment facilities, flare stacks and a marine terminal.

Located on Canada’s west coast, LNG Canada is the country’s first large-scale LNG export facility, with an annual production capacity of approximately 14 million tonnes.

The project benefits from access to abundant natural gas resources and an ice-free harbour, strengthening Canada’s position in global LNG markets.

“Our long‑standing partnership with LNG Canada is a point of pride for us, and we look forward to advancing the next phase of this world‑class project to help connect Canadian natural gas to global markets,” said Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s Business Group President of Energy Solutions. “The LNTP enables us to initiate early planning and move forward with key activities to support a proposed Phase 2 final investment decision by LNG Canada.”

If approved through a final investment decision, the Phase 2 expansion would double the facility’s production capacity.

LNG Canada is owned by a consortium comprising Shell, PETRONAS, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation and KOGAS. JFJV2 is jointly owned by Fluor Canada Ltd and JGC Constructors (No2). -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
