Another liquefied natural gas facility has come forward in Canada with an export application submitted to the National Energy Board (NEB). The export application is for the Triton LNG Limited Partnership, a 50-50 joint-venture between AltaGas and Idemitsu. Triton LNG aims to export up to 2.3 Mt/year of LNG over 25 years (up to 58 Mt over the licence). Triton LNG is preparing preliminary engineering designs for the construction of liquefaction facilities and has identified potential site locations in the vicinity of Kitimat and Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The LNG facilities are expected to include a Floating Liquefaction Storage and Offloading (FLSO) vessel, with two liquefaction trains and storage of up to 200,000 m3 of LNG. It is anticipated that the FLSO vessel will have an annual production capacity of approximately 2.3 Mt/year of LNG. Triton LNG LP is currently developing the project feasibility study, which is expected to be completed in 2014. Subject to the completion of the feasibility study, consultations with First Nations, permitting, regulatory approvals and facility construction, the proposed LNG exports could begin as early as 2017.
