After LNG Canada secured final investment decision earlier this week, JGC Fluor BC LNG II JV, a joint venture betwen Fluor and JGC Corporation, has been selected to deliver engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction and commissioning for its phase 2 expansion in Kitimat, British Columbia.
Phase 2 includes the construction and commissioning of an additional LNG storage tank and two new liquification units that will double the facility’s production capacity to around 28 million tonnes a year.
Jim Breuer, CEO of Fluor, says: ‘LNG Canada Phase 1 was a landmark achievement for Fluor, and we are excited to carry that momentum into the next chapter. The decision to proceed with Phase 2 reflects confidence in Canada’s ability to responsibly develop its natural gas resources and connect them with global markets. Our teams will apply the experience and lessons learned from Phase 1 to deliver a successful project.”
Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s business group president of Energy Solutions, comments: ‘Reaching FID is an important milestone for LNG Canada and Fluor. Our long-standing relationship and successful delivery of Phase 1 provides a strong foundation for the work ahead. As construction progresses, our focus will remain on safety, quality and collaboration with our partners, First Nations and local communities.’
