LNG Canada, a joint venture of Shell, PETRONAS, PetroChina Company Limited, Mitsubishi Corporation and Korea Gas Corporation announced its decision in 2018 that it would be proceeding with a $40 billion liquefied natural gas project in British Columbia. After a decade of pursuing liquefied natural gas projects, this is the first large-scale LNG facility to announce. What that may result in is a consolidation of shale and natural gas assets in BC.
