Fluor JV receives limited notice for Phase 2 of LNG Canada

Key Takeaways:

• The JGC Fluor BC LNG II joint venture has received a limited notice to proceed for the proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada export facility, allowing them to begin early planning and activities ahead of a final investment decision.
• If the final investment decision is achieved, the Phase 2 expansion will double the facility’s current annual production capacity, which stands at approximately 14 million tonnes of LNG.
• The same joint venture partners successfully delivered Phase 1 of the project in 2025, which included completing two processing units and various supporting infrastructure such as storage tanks, a marine terminal, and a water treatment facility.

The Whole Story:

The JGC Fluor BC LNG II joint venture has received limited notice to proceed for the proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada export facility.

The limited notice to proceed enables the joint venture to initiate early planning and key activities supporting a proposed final investment decision by LNG Canada, said Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s Business Group President of Energy Solutions, in a news release.

The same joint venture partners delivered 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.

The LNG Canada facility, located on Canada’s west coast, benefits from access to abundant, low-cost natural gas and an ice-free harbour. The plant has an annual production capacity of approximately 14 million tonnes of liquified natural gas and operates under a 40-year licence. The Phase 2 expansion would double the facility’s production capacity if a final investment decision is achieved.

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

The JGC Fluor BC LNG II joint venture is comprised of Fluor Canada (50%) and JGC Constructors (50%).

“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 project to help connect Canadian natural gas to global markets,” Bechelany said in the release.
