LNG

LNG Canada passed a year of exports with feedgas near Phase 1 capacity. Across 106 loadings since the first sailing from LNG Canada since last June, South Korea took the largest single share, roughly one cargo in three, ahead of Japan at a quarter and China at just over a fifth.

Shell has temporarily suspended its $3 billion share buyback programme, citing legal constraints linked to its pending acquisition of ARC Resources. The $16.4 billion deal would expand Shell’s position in the Montney Shale – a key source of feedgas supply for LNG Canada.
