Kitimat LNG Project Moves Ahead

摘要

Kitimat LNG partners, Apache Canada Ltd. and EOG Resources Canada Inc., awarded KBR the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract for the planned natural gas liquefaction and export facility on British Columbia's west coast. "This is another important milestone for Kitimat LNG, taking us a significant step closer in being able to export LNG to Asia-Pacific markets as soon as 2015," said Janine McArdle, president of Kitimat LNG, Last month, Kitimat LNG Partners signed an agreement to buy the remaining 50% interest in Pacific Trails Pipeline Limited Partnership, thus securing full ownership in the infrastructure to transport natural gas from production areas to the Kitimat LNG facility. The Pacific Trails Pipeline is a planned 463-km, 36-inch system that will carry natural gas from Summit Lake to Kitimat. The Kitimat LNG export facility is planned to be built on First Nations land under a unique partnership with the Haisla First Nation.
