News Summary
Fluor Corporation and JGC Corporation have been awarded a contract for the Front End Engineering and Design of the Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada facility in Kitimat, British Columbia. This crucial step is aimed at enhancing Canada’s liquefied natural gas export capabilities. The expansion will improve processing, storage, and shipping, contributing to a sustainable energy future by leveraging clean natural gas. With a strong history in this project, Fluor looks forward to advancing the next phase of construction alongside their partners.
Fluor Corporation and JGC Corporation Secure Contract for LNG Canada Phase 2 Expansion Design
Fluor Corporation, in partnership with JGC Corporation, has successfully landed a contract to advance the design work for the proposed Phase 2 expansion of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Canada facility in Kitimat, British Columbia. This contract for Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) reflects a significant step for the project, which aims to enhance the existing facility’s capabilities.
The contract’s value has not been disclosed, but it was officially recognized by Fluor during the second quarter of 2025. This recent achievement follows the successful commissioning of Phase 1 of the LNG Canada project, which included the shipment of the very first liquefied natural gas export cargo from the facility.
Background of LNG Canada
The LNG Canada facility, located on the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation, represents Canada’s pioneering LNG export facility, boasting an impressive annual production capacity of up to 14 million tonnes of LNG. Positioned in an ice-free harbor on the west coast of Canada, the facility benefits from easy access to low-cost natural gas resources.
As part of its operational ambitions, LNG Canada aims to play a pivotal role in reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The project is expected to facilitate a transition from coal to natural gas over the course of its 40-year operational license, contributing positively to the environment during this timeframe.
A Focus on Expansion
The intent behind a Phase 2 expansion is to significantly bolster the facility’s processing, storage, and shipping capabilities. Currently, LNG Canada’s joint venture partners, which include multinational corporations such as Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and KOGAS, are exploring various options for this potential expansion.
While the partners are actively considering the expansion, they have yet to finalize any investment decisions. The planned Phase 2 expansion is anticipated to enhance the existing infrastructure, enabling the project to better serve market demand and logistical requirements.
Fluor’s Role in the Project
Fluor Corporation has been closely involved in the LNG Canada project since its inception. As part of the JGC Fluor Joint Venture, the company has provided comprehensive engineering, procurement, fabrication management, construction, and commissioning services since 2018 for Phase 1 of the project. This extensive involvement illustrates Fluor’s commitment to the LNG sector and its capability in delivering complex projects of this magnitude.
With over 75 years of experience in Canada, Fluor has established itself as a key player not only in the LNG market but also across various sectors including oil, gas, and infrastructure projects. The company’s longstanding presence in the region underscores its expertise and reliability in handling some of the country’s most crucial energy projects.
Future Prospects
As preparations move forward for Phase 2 of the LNG Canada facility, stakeholders and local communities will be closely monitoring developments. The expansion holds the promise of accelerating energy production capacities while supporting environmental objectives through reduced emissions.
Overall, the partnership between Fluor and JGC positions the LNG Canada project well for future success as it transitions from Phase 1 to potentially a larger, more robust Phase 2. The commitment from the joint venture partners and their strategic planning efforts will be an essential factor in realizing the full potential of this landmark energy project.
