Fluor-led work on B.C. natural gas export terminal, part of estimated $31-billion project, pushes ahead to make up for COVID-19 delay; but final investment decision for $8.1B Goldboro LNG project in Nova Scotia will not be made, developer said July 2.
Joint partners Fluor and JGC will begin construction on a $40-billion liquefied natural gas export terminal in Kitimat, British Columbia, following a final decision Oct. 1 to build the facility, which will move Canadian natural gas to Asia.
The long-delayed Kitimat liquefied natural gas project in British Columbia got a boost in late April when LNG Canada selected Fluor Corp. and partner Yokohama-based JGC Corp. as the EPC contractor for the natural gas export-plant portion of the $40-billion development. Industry analysts expect Fluor’s portion of the award could be as much as $7 billion.
