Fluor Corporation has been chosen to lead the engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, and commissioning of Phase 2 at LNG Canada, a major expansion of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia. The decision follows the project’s final investment decision (FID) and marks the next phase of the facility’s growth, doubling its production capacity to 28 million tonnes per annum.
The contract, awarded to a joint venture between Fluor and JGC Corporation, includes the construction of an additional LNG storage tank and two new liquefaction units. Fluor will recognize its $7.5 billion share of the project in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The work will be executed by JGC Fluor BC LNG II JV, a 50-50 partnership between Fluor Canada and JGC Constructors.
Phase 1 of the project, completed in October 2025, established the facility’s initial production capacity. The expansion builds on that success, with Fluor’s CEO, Jim Breuer, stating that the decision reflects confidence in Canada’s ability to develop its natural gas resources responsibly while meeting global demand. “Our teams will apply the experience and lessons learned from Phase 1 to deliver a successful project,” he said.
The expansion will enhance processing, storage, and shipping capabilities, positioning LNG Canada as a key player in global energy markets. The facility’s location on Canada’s west coast provides access to abundant natural gas resources and an ice-free deepwater harbor, supporting long-term operational efficiency.

The project’s partners, Shell (40%), PETRONAS (25%), PetroChina (15%), Mitsubishi Corporation (15%), and KOGAS (5%), have committed to the expansion, reinforcing Canada’s role as a leading LNG exporter. Fluor’s involvement spans engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, and commissioning, with a focus on safety, quality, and collaboration with local communities and First Nations.
Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s Business Group President for Energy Solutions, emphasized the milestone nature of reaching FID. Our long-standing relationship and successful delivery of Phase 1 provides a strong foundation for the work ahead. The facility began producing LNG in June 2025, and Phase 2 will further solidify its position in the global energy supply chain.
Fluor’s selection follows its established track record in large-scale energy projects. The company, with $15.5 billion in revenue in 2025 and nearly 23,500 employees, has provided engineering and construction services for over a century.
