Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced that its joint venture with JGC Corporation received limited notice to proceed for the proposed Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia.

The JGC Fluor BC LNG II joint venture previously delivered Phase 1 of the LNG Canada project in 2025, providing engineering, procurement, fabrication management, construction and commissioning services. The Phase 1 completion included two processing units and supporting infrastructure such as storage tanks, rail yard, water treatment facility, flare stacks and marine terminal.

The limited notice to proceed enables the joint venture to begin early planning and key activities to support a potential final investment decision by LNG Canada for Phase 2. The expansion would double the facility's production capacity from its current annual output of approximately 14 million tonnes of liquified natural gas.

"The LNTP enables us to initiate early planning and move forward with key activities to support a proposed Phase 2 final investment decision by LNG Canada," said Pierre Bechelany, Fluor's Business Group President of Energy Solutions.

The LNG Canada facility operates under a 40-year license and is located on Canada's west coast. LNG Canada is a joint venture comprised of Shell (40%), PETRONAS (25%), PetroChina (15%), Mitsubishi Corporation (15%) and KOGAS (5%).

The JGC Fluor BC LNG II joint venture consists of Fluor Canada Ltd (50%) and JGC Constructors (No2) BC Ltd (50%). The information is based on a press release from Fluor Corporation.
