Worksite/Project
Kitimat LNG Canada Project
The Kitimat LNG Canada Project is a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility under construction in Kitimat, British Columbia. Led by a consortium including Shell, PETRONAS, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Korea Gas Corporation, the project represents the largest private-sector investment in Canadian history. Construction activities are now more than 95% complete, and the project remains on track to deliver its first cargoes by the middle of 2025. The facility is designed to export Canadian natural gas to global markets, providing a lower-emission energy option to offset coal-fired energy generation. The project has also involved extensive collaboration with Indigenous communities, with agreements in place with all 20 elected First Nations along the route.
