Fluor JV Finishes Second LNG Train at Canada’s First Mega-Export Terminal

Fluor and JGC have completed Train 2 of the LNG Canada project in Kitimat, marking the first phase completion of Canada’s largest LNG export terminal with 14 MMtpy capacity and significant Indigenous participation.

IRVING, Texas (P&GJ) — Fluor Corporation and its joint venture partner JGC Corporation have completed Train 2 of the LNG Canada Project, marking a key milestone in the completion of the first phase of Canada’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia.

“The safe and successful handover of Train 2 is a testament to the teamwork and dedication of everyone involved on this project,” said Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s Business Group President of Energy Solutions. “It reflects the continued commitment to safety, quality and schedule performance by the thousands of workers who contributed to bringing Canadian natural gas to the world.”

The $40 billion LNG Canada project, located on the country’s west coast, is designed to export up to 14 million tonnes of LNG per year to global markets. The facility includes two production trains, storage tanks, a marine terminal, tugboat dock, and a gas liquefaction unit connected to Western Canada’s natural gas network.

“All through construction, we made safety and the environment a priority while supporting local communities and First Nations,” added James Ticer, Fluor’s Senior Vice President and LNG Canada Project Director. “This included economic sustainability by spending more than $3.3 billion CAD on goods and services contracted with Indigenous businesses and joint ventures and more than $550 million CAD with local area businesses.”

LNG Canada is a joint venture led by Shell (40%), with partners PETRONAS (25%), PetroChina (15%), Mitsubishi (15%), and Korea Gas Corporation (5%). The facility is operated by LNG Canada Development Inc.

The completion of Train 2 comes as global LNG demand continues to grow, with Canada positioning itself as a new exporter to Asian markets via the Pacific Coast.
