This shipment follows the launching of the second liquefaction train at the 14 mtpa LNG export plant in Kitimat.

Shell and its partners started production at the first liquefaction train on June 22.

LNG Canada is a joint venture between Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Kogas.

MidOcean Energy, the LNG unit of US-based energy investor EIG, also entered into definitive agreements to buy a 20 percent interest in Petronas’ entities in Canada, including a stake in LNG Canada.

LNG Canada is Canada’s first large LNG export facility and the first phase of the project has a capacity of 14 mtpa.

With a planned Phase 2, which includes two new trains, the capacity will rise to 28 mtpa.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney recently named the planned second phase of the export project as one of the major projects the federal government would help fast-track.

LNG Canada has also sought approval from the Canadian energy regulator to increase its annual export capacity by 6.4 percent.
