Fluor Corporation and its joint‑venture partner JGC Corporation announced that the handover of Train 2 at the LNG Canada facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, was completed on December 1, 2025. The handover marks the first phase of Canada’s largest LNG export project and signals that the plant is now ready to begin commercial liquefaction and export operations.
Train 2, which adds a 14‑million‑tonne‑per‑year liquefaction capacity, was delivered on schedule and within budget. The handover includes the transfer of all engineering, procurement, and construction assets, as well as the commissioning of the liquefaction train and associated infrastructure. Commercial gas liquefaction is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2026, with the first export shipment slated for the same period, positioning the facility to meet growing global demand for cleaner‑burning natural gas.
Fluor’s joint‑venture, the JGC Fluor Joint Venture, combined Fluor’s EPC expertise with JGC’s LNG experience to deliver both Train 1 and Train 2. Fluor was also responsible for the design, procurement, and construction of Train 1, which was completed in 2024 and began commercial operations earlier that year. The successful handover of Train 2 completes the core plant and unlocks the full 14‑million‑tonne capacity, enabling the facility to export LNG to markets in Asia, Europe, and the United States.
The handover is a key revenue driver for Fluor’s Energy Solutions segment. Management expects the LNG Canada project to generate revenue in the second quarter of 2026, providing a tangible cash‑flow benefit that will support the company’s broader growth strategy in the energy transition space. The milestone also reinforces Fluor’s reputation as a reliable EPC partner for large‑scale LNG and power projects, potentially opening doors to future contracts in the growing LNG and low‑carbon energy markets.
Management highlighted the significance of the achievement. Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s Business Group President of Energy Solutions, said the handover “demonstrates the company’s commitment to safety, quality and schedule performance.” James Ticer, Fluor’s Senior Vice President and LNG Canada Project Director, added that the project “has been built with a focus on safety, environmental stewardship and local community engagement.” Masayuki Sato of JGC Holdings emphasized the partnership’s role in delivering Canadian natural gas to international markets in a safe, sustainable, and responsible manner.
