Name and Location
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Canada project, British Columbia, Canada.

Client
LNG Canada, a joint venture (JV) between Shell Canada Energy (50%), PetroChina (20%), Korea Gas Corporation (15%) and Mitsubishi Corporation (15%).

Project Description
The proposed LNG Canada facility will be located on 350 ha to 400 ha in the industrial area of Kitimat, in British Columbia, incorporating the former Methanex site. The project is planned as a phased development, initially comprising two processing trains, each with a production capacity of about six-million tonnes a year of LNG, with the possibility of adding two trains.

Fully built, the facility will include:
• a natural gas receiving and an LNG production facility;
• a marine terminal, with the capacity to hold two LNG carriers of between 140 000 m3 and 265 000 m3;
• a tugboat dock;
• four processing units or trains;
• LNG storage tanks and LNG loading lines that connect the storage tanks to the wharf;
• roads required primarily during construction and for maintenance;
• a material offloading facility, primarily for use during construction; and
• supporting infrastructure and facilities that include power and water supply, as well as handling and waste collection and treatment.

Value
The project has been estimated by the Bank of Nova Scotia at $14.4-billion or more.

Latest Developments
LNG Canada has selected Yokogawa Electric Corporation as the main automation contractor for a natural gas liquefaction project.

Yokogawa Electric International, a Yokogawa subsidiary that manages the company’s global control business, has also won an order to provide comprehensive control system-related front-end engineering and design (Feed) services to CFSW LNG Constructors, the main contractor for LNG Canada.

CFSW is a JV that was set up by the Canadian subsidiaries of Chiyoda Corporation of Japan, Foster Wheeler of the UK, Saipem of Italy and WorleyParsons of Australia to execute this project.

Subject to a financial investment decision by LNG Canada for the proposed LNG project, after completing the Feed phase, Yokogawa will deliver its Centum VP integrated production control system and ProSafe-RS safety instrumentation system as the project’s main automation contractor.

In this role, Yokogawa will also propose various other solutions with the aim of ensuring the safe and stable operation of the plant.
