Fluor Corporation has announced that it has finished building Train 2 at the LNG Canada Project in Kitimat, British Columbia. This is an important step for Canada as it starts large-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. This facility was developed together with JGC Corporation and represents the first phase of Canada’s first LNG mega-project.
The completion comes after years of hard work. “The safe and successful handover of Train 2 shows the teamwork and commitment of everyone involved in this project,” said Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s Business Group President of Energy Solutions. “It highlights our ongoing commitment to safety, quality, and staying on schedule, thanks to the thousands of workers who helped bring Canadian natural gas to the world.”
Located on Canada’s west coast in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation, the facility has access to large natural gas reserves and an ice-free harbor. It includes two processing units with a total annual production capacity of 14 million tonnes of LNG, as well as storage tanks, a marine terminal, and other infrastructure needed to export Canadian natural gas to global markets.
The project has had a big economic impact, spending over $3.3 billion CAD on goods and services from Indigenous businesses and joint ventures, and more than $550 million CAD with local area businesses. James Ticer, Fluor’s Senior Vice President and LNG Canada Project Director, mentioned, “Throughout construction, we prioritized safety and environmental concerns while supporting local communities and First Nations.”
The facility shipped its first cargo in June 2025, and by November, it had sent out its 25th cargo from Kitimat. Over 50,000 Canadians directly contributed to building Phase 1, and more than 300 permanent jobs were created for its operations.
LNG Canada is a joint venture that includes Shell plc (40%), PETRONAS (25%), PetroChina Company Limited (15%), Mitsubishi Corporation (15%), and Korea Gas Corporation (5%), managed by LNG Canada Development Inc. The partners are also looking into options for a possible Phase 2 expansion, which could add two more trains and increase the total plant capacity to 28 million tonnes per year.
Fluor’s role in this project continues its long history in Canada, where the company has provided engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction services for over 75 years.
