The US contractor’s joint venture with Japan’s JGC Corporation will carry out engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction and commissioning for the expansion.

The partners received notice to proceed following LNG Canada’s final investment decision on 28 September. Fluor said it would recognise its share of the contract in the third quarter of its 2026 financial year.

Phase 2 will add an LNG storage tank and two liquefaction units, known as trains, doubling the facility’s production capacity to approximately 28 million tonnes a year. The work will also expand its processing, storage and shipping capabilities.

The contract will be delivered by JGC Fluor BC LNG II JV, a Canadian joint venture owned equally by Fluor Canada and JGC Constructors (No2) BC.

The award follows the partners’ delivery of Phase 1, which included two processing trains and associated infrastructure. The facility began producing LNG in June 2025, with handover completed in October that year.

Jim Breuer, chief executive of Fluor, said, “Our teams will apply the experience and lessons learned from Phase 1 to deliver a successful project.”

The facility is located on Canada’s west coast, with access to natural gas resources and an ice-free deepwater harbour.

LNG Canada is owned by Shell (40%), Petronas (25%), PetroChina (15%), Mitsubishi Corporation (15%) and Kogas (5%).

The announcement did not disclose the total contract value or a completion date for Phase 2.
