Fluor and JGC are staying on for the next chapter of a multibillion-dollar energy build in western Canada.
The joint venture will deliver engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction and commissioning for phase two of LNG Canada’s liquified natural gas export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, according to a Tuesday Fluor news release. The Irving, Texas-based contractor will book $7.5 billion for its share of the contract in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.
JV partner JGC, a Yokohama, Japan-based contractor, separately said its share of the contract is also $7.5 billion, according to its own Tuesday announcement. Fluor and JGC each hold a 50% stake in the JV execution of the expansion, according to Fluor. The Canadian government estimates the second phase will require about $23 billion, reports Briefs Finance.
The expansion will add two liquefaction units, known as trains, and an additional LNG storage tank, according to Fluor. The work will double the facility’s production capacity to about 28 million tonnes per annum.
“LNG Canada Phase 1 was a landmark achievement for Fluor, and we are excited to carry that momentum into the next chapter,” said Fluor CEO Jim Breuer in the release. “The decision to proceed with Phase 2 reflects confidence in Canada’s ability to responsibly develop its natural gas resources and connect them with global markets.”
Fluor and JGC delivered the first phase of the facility, which included engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction. LNG production began in June 2025, and the contractors completed the handover of the facility in October 2025, according to Fluor.
During that first phase, the contractors employed modular construction on the buildout of the LNG export facility. The team fabricated 215 modules overseas before shipping them to Kitimat, with the final module arriving from China in July 2023, according to Fluor.
LNG Canada is a joint venture of Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corp. and Korea Gas Corp. Shell expects commercial operations to begin in the early 2030s, according to a Tuesday news release.
