Shell Canada announced plans in May for Canada’s largest liquefied-natural-gas, or LNG, facility on British Columbia’s central coast near Kitimat. Shell also is considering an option for the future expansion of the facility, dubbed LNG Canada.
With Shell Canada holding a 40% stake and the Korean Gas Co., Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp. and PetroChina eaching holding a 20% stake, the proposed facility includes two processing “trains” with a total capacity to handle 12 million tons of LNG annually.
