LNG Canada ships 100th cargo

Shell-led LNG Canada has shipped the 100th cargo of liquefied natural gas from its Kitimat facility on the west coast of Canada.

LNG Canada announced the milestone shipment in a social media on Thursday.

However, the JV did not provide further details.

“Our focus continues to be on safe and responsible operations as we progress towards our vision of becoming a world-class asset, and helping Canada to become a top 5 global LNG exporting nation,” it said.

Shell and its partners started production at the first liquefaction train in June 2025.

In November last year, the partners launched the second liquefaction train at the 14 mtpa LNG export plant in Kitimat.

LNG Canada announced the departure of the 25th cargo during the same month.

The facility shipped the 50th cargo in February this year.

The plant is the first of its kind in Canada with an annual production capacity of approximately 14 million tonnes of LNG.

A joint venture of US engineer Fluor and Japan’s JGC recently received limited notice to proceed for the proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada project.

The Phase 2 expansion would double the facility’s production capacity if a final investment decision is achieved.

At 40 percent, Shell has the largest working interest in the LNG Canada JV.

MidOcean Energy, the LNG unit of US-based energy investor EIG, completed its deal to buy a 20 percent interest in Petronas’ entities in Canada, including a stake in the LNG Canada project, in December last year.

Besides Petronas and MidOocean, other partners include PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Kogas.
