Jan 5 (LNGJ) - The Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corp., equal partners in the development of the proposed Cedar LNG project in the Douglas Sound near Kitimat in British Columbia, have selected South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries and US firm Black & Veatch to provide engineering, procurement and construction for the design, fabrication and delivery of the project's floating LNG (FLNG) production unit, subject to a final investment decision.

   “This is a critical milestone on our path towards an FID for Cedar LNG, the first Indigenous majority-owned LNG project in the world,” stated Doug Arnell, Cedar LNG Chief Executive. “We have secured world-class FLNG expertise and look forward to working with SHI and Black & Veatch to build an LNG facility with one of the cleanest environmental profiles in the world that will usher in a new era of low carbon, sustainable LNG production,” Arnell added. Cedar LNG noted that it had major regulatory approvals, had signed memoranda of understanding for long-term liquefaction services for the project's total LNG capacity and expected an FID in the first quarter 2024.
