The Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corp., partners in the development of the proposed Cedar LNG project, have selected Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) and Black & Veatch to provide EPC for the design, fabrication, and delivery of the project’s floating LNG production unit (FLNG), subject to a final investment decision (FID).
“This is a critical milestone on our path towards a FID for Cedar LNG, the first Indigenous majority-owned LNG project in the world,” said Doug Arnell, Cedar LNG CEO. “We have secured world class FLNG expertise and look forward to working with SHI and Black & Veatch to build an LNG facility with one of the cleanest environmental profiles in the world that will usher in a new era of low carbon, sustainable LNG production.”
“Our role in helping Cedar LNG make history on this world-class facility aligns with our commitment to deliver a reliable and resilient global energy supply as a leader in the world’s energy transition,” added Mario Azar, Black & Veatch Chairman and CEO.
Cedar LNG now has major regulatory approvals, signed memorandums of understanding for long-term liquefaction services for the project’s total LNG capacity, and with the achievement of this milestone, the project is at an advanced stage of planning and development, with a FID expected by the end of 1Q24.
Subject to a positive FID, onshore construction work for the project could commence as early as 2Q24, with the delivery of the FLNG and substantial completion expected in 2028.
