Kent will design new desalter facilities to support the production of 300,000 bopd over the next 20 years, managing an expected water cut of up to 60%. The facility will include separation and desalting facilities to process up to 315,000 bopd as well as systems to reduce gas flaring.
Located on Canada’s west coast, the LNG Canada facility benefits from access to abundant, low-cost natural gas and an ice-free harbor. The plant is the first-of-its-kind in Canada with an annual production capacity of up to 14 million tonnes of LNG. It positions Canada as a major supplier of low-carbon natural gas to global markets and will operate under a 40-year license helping to reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by replacing coal with natural gas. A Phase 2 expansion would increase the facility’s processing, storage and shipping capabilities. LNG Canada and its five joint venture participants continue to explore pathways to a Phase 2 expansion but have not yet reached a final investment decision.
