April 12 (LNGJ) - LNG Canada, the Royal Dutch Shell-led joint venture in British Columbia, said that Chief Executive Andy Calitz would step down on July 1 to be replaced by another Canada-based Shell executive Peter Zebedee. The announcement comes six months after LNG Canada’s positive final investment decision to build the export plant near the town of Kitimat. Calitz and successor Zebedee have worked for Shell for much of their careers.
Calitz, who was educated and began his energy industry career in South Africa, began working for Shell in 1996 and has led the LNG Canada project for six years. He is scheduled to return to Shell’s headquarters in The Hague when he leaves his post. Zebedee currently works for Shell in the Canadian city of Edmonton in Alberta and will relocate to BC.
