About Us:
LNG Canada is a joint venture company comprised of five global energy companies with substantial experience in liquefied natural gas (LNG) – Shell, PETRONAS, Mitsubishi Corporation, PetroChina, and KOGAS.
LNG Canada represents the largest private sector investment in Canadian history, and a once-in-a-generation opportunity to benefit local communities and provincial and national economies. It is a long-life asset with a 40-year export license that will initially export LNG from two processing units or “trains” totaling 14 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).

Safety, shared economic value, environmental performance and social performance are our highest priorities. We have partnered with governments, local communities, and First Nations to maximize shared value.
