Kitimat LNG partners announce export licence approval by NEB
CALGARY – Kitimat LNG partners Apache Canada Ltd. , EOG Resources Canada Inc. and Encana Corporation announced that the National Energy Board has granted Kitimat LNG a 20-year export licence to ship liquefied natural gas from Canada to international markets.
The Kitimat LNG export facility is planned to be built on First Nations land under a partnership with the Haisla First Nation.
The facility will be served by Pacific Trail Pipelines Limited Partnership’s natural gas pipeline which will run from Summit Lake to Kitimat. The 463-kilometre underground line will provide the terminal with a direct connection to the Spectra Energy transmission pipeline system and excellent access to natural gas supplies in British Columbia.
Kitimat LNG is currently carrying out a Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) study which will provide certainty around project design, construction timelines and costs and labour force requirements. The FEED study is expected to be complete by early in 2012 followed by a final investment decision by the partners.
