Sept 27 (LNGJ) - The Kitimat LNG export project in the Canadian province of British Columbia, led by US major Chevron Corp., will be the subject of Open House meetings soon  and a period of public comment on amendments to the venture. The meetings are being organized by the BC Environmental Assessment Office and will take place in the towns of Kitimat and Terrace. “A 30-day public comment period on the amendments will start on October 7, 2019 and end on November 6, 2019,” said the regulator.

   The Kitimat LNG project is being developed at Bish Cove by Chevron and Woodside of Australia and each has a 50 percent stake as well as the support of the Haisla First Nation. Chevron in July 2019 had a project amendment request accepted by the regulators for a redesigned project and an increase in export capacity to 18 million tonnes per annum and an initial three processing Trains instead of two. Feed-gas for the Kitimat liquefaction plant will come from the large upstream shale-gas resources in 322,000 net acres owned by the project in the Horn River and Liard Basins of northeast BC.
