LNG Canada completes shipment of 100th cargo

en.Wedoany.com Reported - LNG Canada announced that its LNG export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, has completed the shipment of its 100th cargo of liquefied natural gas. The company disclosed this milestone on social media without providing further details.

Shell and its partners started production at the facility's first liquefaction train in June 2025. In November 2025, the partners started the facility's second liquefaction train, bringing the plant's total design capacity to 14 million tonnes per year. That same month, LNG Canada announced the departure of its 25th cargo. In February 2026, the plant shipped its 50th cargo. The facility is Canada's first of its kind, with an annual capacity of approximately 14 million tonnes of LNG.

A joint venture between U.S. engineering firm Fluor and Japan's JGC recently received limited notice to proceed with work on the proposed second phase expansion of the LNG Canada project. If a final investment decision is made, the second phase would double the plant's capacity.

Shell holds the largest working interest in the LNG Canada joint venture with a 40% stake. MidOcean Energy, the LNG division of U.S. energy investment firm EIG, completed the acquisition of a 20% stake in Petronas' Canadian entity in December 2025, which includes shares in the LNG Canada project. In addition to Petronas and MidOcean Energy, other partners include PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Kogas.
