Chevron, Woodside Want to Double Size of BC LNG Export Project

摘要

Chevron Canada Ltd. and Woodside Energy Ltd. in an export license application to the National Energy Board (NEB) have doubled the size and intended lifespan of KM LNG, their planned natural gas project for ofshore British Columbia (BC). The partners requested a 40-year autho- rization to load liquefed natural gas (LNG) tankers on the northern Pacifc coast at Kit- imat with up to 2.7 Bcf/d. The project’s frst license granted a 20-year term for 1.3 Bcf/d. The enlarged second edition of KM LNG still sets no construction or comple- tion target dates. Chevron and its Australian partner, which each own 50% in the joint venture, also disclosed no new cost esti- mates or gas supply arrangements.
