JGC Holdings Corporation has announced that JGC Corporation and Fluor Corporation have been awarded the contract to update the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) for a proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada facility, located in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada.
The LNG Canada facility, situated on Canada’s west coast, benefits from access to abundant, low-cost natural gas and features an ice-free harbour. It is the first facility of its kind in Canada, with an annual production capacity of approximately 14 million tonnes of LNG. This facility positions Canada as a significant supplier of low-carbon natural gas to global markets and operates under a 40-year license, aimed at reducing global greenhouse gas emissions by replacing coal with natural gas. The proposed Phase 2 expansion is set to double the LNG production capacity.
The JGC Fluor joint venture is currently executing EPC work on the LNG Canada Project, with the first export cargo achieved in June 2025. The award of the FEED update contract recognises the project execution capabilities demonstrated on the LNG Canada Project and the joint venture’s proven track record in successfully delivering numerous large-scale LNG projects.
LNG Canada is a joint venture involving Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and KOGAS. The JGC Fluor joint venture will continue its involvement in the LNG Canada Project through commissioning support and long-term operational readiness services.
Masayuki Sato, representative director, chairman, president, and CEO of JGC Holdings Corporation, stated, “We are pleased to have been engaged by LNG Canada for this FEED update contract, which builds upon our previous work on the LNG Canada Project. This contract award represents one of the most significant milestones in the ambitious expansion project we have been pursuing for a long time. We will make every possible effort to incorporate the lessons learned from the LNG Canada Project to ensure the success of this strategic expansion.”
In addition to the LNG Canada Project, JGC, as a leading global contractor contributing to the energy transition, is delivering strategic LNG projects including the Ruwais LNG project in the United Arab Emirates, the Nearshore Floating LNG Plant in Malaysia, and the FEED for the Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique. JGC aims to contribute to the realisation of planned energy transition projects to fulfil its commitment to “Enhancing Planetary Health.”
