Fluor and JGC Secure LNG Canada Expansion Contract

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 and JGC Join Forces for LNG Canada Phase 2 Expansion

The Joint Venture (JV) between Fluor Corporation and JGC Corporation has been awarded a significant contract for the design update of the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) for the upcoming Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada facility. This facility, situated in Kitimat, British Columbia, is on the traditional land of the Haisla Nation.

Contract Recognized in Q2 2025

While the specific value of this contract remains undisclosed, Fluor recognized it in their financial reports for the second quarter of 2025. This announcement arrives on the heels of the successful commissioning of Phase 1, which led to the shipment of the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) export cargo.

History of Collaboration in Phase 1

The Fluor and JGC JV has played a crucial role in the development of LNG Canada since 2018, providing services that include engineering, procurement, fabrication management, construction, and commissioning. Their involvement has been vital in reaching the current stage of operations, positioning LNG Canada as Canada’s first LNG export facility with an annual production capacity of up to 14 million tonnes.

Location and Environmental Impact

The LNG Canada facility boasts a strategic location, benefiting from access to low-cost natural gas and an ice-free harbor on Canada’s west coast. This advantageous position not only enhances its operational efficiency but also aligns with efforts to combat climate change. The facility’s operation is projected to significantly reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by displacing coal with natural gas over its 40-year operational timeline.

Future Expansion Plans Under Consideration

As the current phase continues to unfold successfully, the joint venture partners are actively exploring possibilities for a Phase 2 expansion. This plan aims to enhance the facility’s processing, storage, and shipping capabilities to meet growing global demand for LNG. However, a final investment decision regarding this expansion has not yet been made, indicating that further assessments are required.

Fluor’s Commitment to Energy Solutions

Fluor has a deep-rooted presence in Canada, with over 75 years of experience in delivering extensive services across various sectors, including oil and gas, as well as infrastructure projects. The company’s leadership in the energy sector continues to make strides, and the awarding of the contract for the LNG Canada expansion is a testament to Fluor’s commitment and expertise in energy solutions.

Partnering with Industry Leaders

The LNG Canada project represents a unique collaboration among several major players in the industry, including Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and KOGAS. Together, they aim to ensure that the facility not only meets current demands but also adheres to sustainable practices that benefit both the economy and the environment.

As the energy landscape evolves, the Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada facility will be closely watched. The combination of innovative engineering and strategic planning is expected to pave the way for the future of natural gas exports from Canada, setting a new standard in the industry.
