LNG Canada, a joint venture between Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and KOGAS, has awarded engineering company Técnicas Reunidas with a contract for front-end engineering design (FEED) services for Phase 2 of Coastal GasLink, located in British Columbia, on Canada’s west coast, adding to earlier work the Spanish firm performed for the project.

Owned and operated by TC Energy and its partners, the 670-kilometer-long Coastal GasLink Pipeline transports natural gas to the LNG Canada facility near Kitimat. Phase 2 refers to the development of compressor stations, which would double the pipeline’s capacity without requiring additional pipeline to move natural gas.
