Canada Minister Wants LNG Canada Doubled, Eyes Western Pipeline Upgrade

Bloomberg.com · last updated

Canada’s government supports doubling the scale of an already-huge natural gas project on the west coast and now sees it as “likely,” according to its resources minister, as the country pushes to diversify exports away from a hostile US.

The LNG Canada consortium, which includes Shell Plc and Petronas, is expected to send its first shipments of liquefied natural gas within months. Then the group will have to make a final investment decision on whether to proceed with a second phase.
