Woodfibre LNG, positioned as the world’s first net zero LNG export facility, is more than halfway complete and targets end-2027 for in-service, CEO Luke Schauerte said. Addressing potential labour shortages, he told BNN Bloomberg the project is “in a really good spot (…) sort of between the waves of building.”

Squamish-based Woodfibre LNG has welcomed the arrival of its fifteenth liquefaction module as the project moves closer to complete construction by 2027. Weighing 10,847 metric tonnes, the liquefaction module is the heaviest module to become part of the future Woodfibre LNG facility. CEO Luke Schauerte calls it the “beating heart” of the liquefaction terminal.

Woodfibre LNG, a joint venture of Pacific Energy and Enbridge, is going full steam on Canada’s first net-zero liquefaction terminal. First pipe rack modules arrived at the site near Squamish, BC.

The Canadian Woodfibre LNG export project backed by Indonesian billionaire Sukanto Tanoto and his RGE Group and the only liquefaction plant venture with full permit approvals in the Pacific province of British Columbia, said it had postponed the start of construction until 2018 when final schedules would be finalized.

The Canadian LNG export project backed by Indonesian billionaire Sukanto Tanoto and his Pacific Oil and Gas company has been granted an extended 40-year export licence to ship cargoes to Asia.

Fluor Corp., the US energy engineering and construction company, said it won a contract for the Canadian Woodfibre LNG export project being developed at Squamish, north of Vancouver.

Energy and liquefied natural gas engineering companies JGC Corp. of Japan and KBR of the US are taking part in a front-end engineering and design run-off to win the final contract for the Canadian Woodfibre LNG project of Indonesian billionaire Sukanto Tanoto and his Pacific Oil and Gas company.
