Fluor Corporation has announced that its Joint Venture (JV) with JGC Corporation has been awarded a contract to update the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) for a proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada.

The contract was recognised in the Q2.

The facility, located on Canada’s west coast, benefits from abundant, low-cost natural gas and an ice-free harbour.

The first-of-its-kind plant in Canada has an annual production capacity of up to 14 million tonnes of LNG.

A Phase 2 expansion would increase the facility’s processing, storage, and shipping capabilities. LNG Canada and its five joint venture participants are exploring options for a Phase 2 expansion.
