Fluor Corporation has announced that its JGC Fluor BC LNG II joint venture (JFJV), formed with JGC Corporation, has been granted a limited notice to proceed for the proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada export terminal in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada (Fluor press release, 01/06/2026).
- LNG Canada currently has an annual LNG production capacity of approximately 14 Mt/year during its first phase.
- Subject to a positive final investment decision, the expansion project would increase the facility’s production capacity to 28 Mt/year, effectively doubling current output.
- LNG Canada is owned by a consortium comprising Shell (40%), Petronas (25%), PetroChina (15%), Mitsubishi Corporation (15%), and Kogas (5%).
“The notice enables us to initiate early planning and move forward with key activities to support a proposed Phase 2 final investment decision by LNG Canada”, said Fluor’s Business Group President of Energy Solutions.
The same joint venture partners, JFJV, were instrumental in the execution of Phase 1 of the LNG Canada project. In 2025, the joint venture completed delivery of the project’s two LNG trains.
More recently, Canada signed its first long-term LNG supply agreement with a European buyer, following an agreement by the German state-owned energy company SEFE to purchase 1 Mt/year from the proposed Ksi Lisims LNG project (12 Mt/year), a planned floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility with a marine terminal in British Columbia (KEI, 03/06/2026).
