Fluor and JGC awarded Kitimat LNG EPC contract

The Kitimat liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project, jointly owned by Chevron Corp. (50%) and Apache Corp. (50%), has awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract to Fluor Corporation and its venture partner JGC for a LNG plant in Bish Cove, British Columbia (BC).

Kitimat LNG, the most advanced LNG project in Western Canada, will have a capacity of 11 million tpa, made up of two liquefaction trains with an equal capacity of 5.5 million t.

Peter Oosterveer, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals Group, said: “We are excited to enter into the next phase of supporting the Kitimat LNG project for Chevron and their partner Apache. Kitimat has the potential to become Canada’s first major LNG production and export terminal. Our strategic relationship with JGC was a key to winning this project and is certainly proving to be a differentiator in our markets.”
