On the same day earlier this month, two major North American LNG projects advanced. NextDecade announced a positive final investment decision on the first of three liquefaction trains at its Rio Grande LNG export facility in Brownsville, Texas. Meanwhile, 3,170 miles to the northwest, Fluor announced that, with the arrival of the final prefabricated module from a fabrication yard in Zhuhai, China, it had completed the module fabrication program for LNG Canada’s liquefaction, storage and loading complex in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada. Overall, a total of 215 modules of varying sizes have been received at the project site.
Rio Grande LNG will produce 27 million metric tons a year. The project involves partners Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), GIC, Mubadala Investment Company (Mubadala), (collectively, the Financial Investors), and TotalEnergies. LNG Canada is a joint venture among Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation and Korea Gas Corporation. The project will have an initial capacity to produce 14 million tons of LNG per year.
