A refrigerant cargo carried by the 7,300-MT Gaschem Atlantic LPG ship has arrived at the LNG Canada’s marine terminal in Kitimat, Canada to use in the project’s gas liquefaction process and commissioning.
LNG Canada is more than 90% complete and it is on track to begin commissioning process next month, subject to the technical and regulatory clearances.
The commissioning process is expected to take 12 months before commercial operations, with current preparations focusing on finalizing utility systems and readying the plant for gas intake with LNG Canada expects to ship its first LNG cargoes by mid-2025.
According to the
Global LNG Database®, JGC-Fluor JV is undertaking EPC work of the LNG Canada, including engineering, procurement, fabrication and delivery of modules, as well as construction of the project's infrastructure and utilities, marine structures and LNG storage tank.
Last month, Fluor announced completion of the final weld on the first train at the LNG Canada project. “The final weld took 48 hours of continuous work from teams of welders working in shifts. More than 380 pipe welders have worked on the project since construction began in 2018.”
TC Energy-operated Coastal GasLink (CGL) pipeline which connects gas fields in northwestern BritishColumbia with the project in Kitimat is completed.
The 14 MMT/Y LNG Canada project’s partners are Shell 40%, PETRONAS 25%, PetroChina 15%, Mitsubishi 15%, and Kogas 5%.
