Joint partners Fluor and JGC will begin construction on a $40-billion liquefied natural gas export terminal in Kitimat, British Columbia, following a final decision Oct. 1 to build the facility, which will move Canadian natural gas to Asia.

Two big energy deals account for more than half the $250 billion in trade agreements with China that President Trump announced during his trip to Asia in early November: in West Virginia, $83.7 billion in shale-gas development and chemical manufacturing and, in Alaska, $43 billion to develop a pipeline and facility to export liquefied natural gas to China.

A Hong Kong-based company is seeking to build an $888-million liquefied-natural-gas terminal at Port Fourchon, the nation’s largest offshore oil-and-gas port. Energy World, operating as Fourchon LNG, would produce, export and use LNG to fuel the next generation of offshore supply vessels.
