Grande Prairie area selected for Encana, Ferus LNG facility

摘要

Encana Corporation and Ferus LNG Inc., a North American leader in liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuelling solutions, are teaming up to build a 190,000-litre-per-day LNG production facility near Grande Prairie, Alta. The facility, expected to be in operation by the end of next year, is strategically located in close proximity to high levels of energy industry activity in northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia. It is among the first in Canada designed to produce high-quality LNG fuel specifically for high-horsepower (HHP) engines used in drilling rigs, pressure-pumping services, and heavy-duty highway and off-road trucks. Other HHP applications for the LNG supply include rail, mining, and remote power generation.
