LNG
Shell has reached FID on LNG Canada Phase 2, a major expansion that will double the Kitimat facility’s LNG export capacity to 28 mtpa and strengthen long-term supply to growing Asian markets.
Increased capacity from new terminals and expansions drove up exports of liquefied natural gas at the quickest rate since 2016.
While discussions on the commercial terms for gas sales continue, the release of the jackup rig intended to drill production wells calls into question Shell’s plans for first gas in 2027.
