IRVING, Texas - Irving-based Fluor Corporation has secured a major new energy project, with the company's share of a contract to expand the LNG Canada export facility valued at approximately $7.5 billion.

Fluor announced Tuesday that its joint venture with JGC Corporation was selected to provide engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction and commissioning services for Phase 2 of the liquefied natural gas facility in Kitimat, British Columbia.

The JGC-Fluor joint venture received notice to proceed after LNG Canada reached a final investment decision on the expansion Monday.

Fluor said it will recognize its $7.5 billion share of the multibillion-dollar contract in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

The project represents a significant contract for Fluor, which is headquartered in Irving, and follows the joint venture's work building the first phase of the LNG Canada facility.

"LNG Canada Phase 1 was a landmark achievement for Fluor, and we are excited to carry that momentum into the next chapter," Fluor CEO Jim Breuer said.

Phase 2 calls for construction and commissioning of two additional liquefaction units, known as trains, along with another LNG storage tank. The expansion is expected to double the facility's production capacity to approximately 28 million tonnes annually.

The additional infrastructure will also expand the facility's natural gas processing, storage and shipping capacity.

Fluor and JGC previously handled engineering, procurement, fabrication management, construction and commissioning for Phase 1, which included two processing trains and related infrastructure. The facility began producing LNG in June 2025, with handover completed in October of that year.

The Phase 2 work will be performed by JGC Fluor BC LNG II JV, a Canadian joint venture owned equally by Fluor Canada Ltd. and JGC Constructors (No2) BC Ltd.

LNG Canada's export facility is located on Canada's west coast and has access to an ice-free deepwater harbor.

LNG Canada itself is owned by a consortium consisting of Shell with a 40% interest, PETRONAS with 25%, PetroChina and Mitsubishi Corporation with 15% each, and KOGAS with 5%.

Fluor Corporation trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker FLR.
