(Fluor: Irving, TX) -- Fluor Corp. announces that its JGC Fluor BC LNG II joint venture with JGC Corp. has received limited notice to proceed (LNTP) with the proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia.

The same joint venture partners played a central role in delivering Phase 1 of LNG Canada, providing engineering, procurement, fabrication management, construction, and commissioning services. In 2025, the joint venture successfully delivered the project’s two processing units, known as trains, and supporting infrastructure including storage tanks, rail yard, water treatment facility, flare stacks, and marine terminal.

Pierre Bechelany, Fluor business group president of energy solutions, says, “Our long-standing partnership with LNG Canada is a point of pride for us, and we look forward to advancing the next phase of this world-class project to help connect Canadian natural gas to global markets. The LNTP enables us to initiate early planning and move forward with key activities to support a proposed Phase 2 final investment decision by LNG Canada.”

Located on Canada’s west coast, the LNG Canada facility benefits from access to abundant, low-cost natural gas and an ice-free harbor. The plant is the first of its kind in Canada with an annual production capacity of approximately 14 million tonnes of liquified natural gas. It positions Canada as a major supplier of lower-carbon natural gas to global markets and will operate under a 40-year license. The Phase 2 expansion would double the facility’s production capacity if a final investment decision is achieved.

LNG Canada is a joint venture comprising Shell (40%), PETRONAS (25%), PetroChina (15%), Mitsubishi Corp. (15%), and KOGAS (5%).

The Canadian joint venture comprises Fluor Canada (50%) and JGC Constructors BC (50%).
