Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s Business Group President of Energy Solutions, underlined: “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.”
The joint venture delivered Phase 1, including engineering, procurement, fabrication management, construction, and commissioning of two processing trains and associated infrastructure. The facility began producing LNG in June 2025, with the handover of the facility completed in October 2025.
In August 2025, JGC and Fluor were awarded a contract by LNG Canada to update the front end engineering and design (FEED) for the proposed expansion and to provide estimation services for the related engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) scope.
Located on Canada’s west coast, the LNG Canada site benefits from access to abundant natural gas resources and an ice‑free deepwater harbor. With the Phase 2 expansion, the facility will be positioned to make a greater long‑term contribution to global energy security and strengthen Canada’s position as an LNG exporter.
Masayuki Sato, Representative Director, Chairman, President & CEO of JGC Holdings Corporation, noted: “We are proud to continue our contribution to this landmark project as the Phase 2 expansion moves forward following LNG Canada’s final investment decision and issuance of NTP.
“Building on the successful delivery of Phase 1, we will work closely with LNG Canada and Fluor to help ensure the safe, responsible and efficient execution of the Phase 2 expansion, which will further strengthen Canada’s role as a supplier of lower-carbon LNG to global markets.”
The Phase 1 plant has an annual production capacity of approximately 14 million tonnes of LNG and will operate under a 40-year export license. The next phase of the project will double the production capacity. LNG Canada is a joint venture comprised of Shell (40%), Petronas (25%), PetroChina (15%), Mitsubishi Corporation (15%), and KOGAS (5%).
