JGC Joint Venture Receives Limited Notice to Proceed for Proposed Phase 2 Expansion of LNG Canada Project
Yokohama, Japan - JGC Holdings Corporation is pleased to announce today that JGC Corporation (JGC) and Fluor Corporation (Fluor) have received Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP) for the proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada.
The same JGC Fluor joint venture (JFJV) partners played a central role in delivering Phase 1 of LNG Canada, providing engineering, procurement, fabrication management, construction and commissioning services. In 2025, JFJV successfully delivered the project's first two trains.
Masayuki Sato, Representative Director, Chairman, President & CEO of JGC Holdings Corporation, commented:
"We are honored to continue our support for this world‑class project, which represents a strategically important opportunity to supply diversified and lower‑carbon energy to global markets. During this LNTP phase, we will work closely with LNG Canada to enhance project certainty for a potential Phase 2 final investment decision by the client and contribute to the successful delivery of the LNG Canada Phase 2 expansion project by leveraging the EPC execution experience from Phase 1."
Located on Canada's west coast, the LNG Canada facility benefits from access to abundant, low-cost natural gas and an ice-free harbor. The Phase 1 plant is the first-of-its-kind in Canada with an annual production capacity of approximately 14 million tonnes of LNG. It positions Canada as a major supplier of lower-carbon natural gas to global markets and will operate under a 40-year licence. The Phase 2 expansion project 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%).
