Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: West bank of the Douglas Channel, south of the Half Moon Bay Marina, District of Kitimat, territory of the Haisla Nation, British Columbia, Canada
Capacity: 125 MMSCFD million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas
Production: 700,000 tonnes per annum
Start-up Year: -
The proposed Douglas Channel LNG Project is an LNG project taken place in British Columbia of Canada and consists of: a barge-based liquefaction plant to convert natural gas to liquefied natural gas (LNG), a small LNG buffer tank, electrical substation, and other support facilities on land adjacent to the LNG barge, a new LNG jetty and berth with loading facilities and other infrastructure to connect existing gas pipeline, electrical power, and roads to the project site. Douglas Channel Energy Partnership (DCEP) will design, secure requisite permits and project financing and contract for the engineering, procurement, construction and operation of the facilities.
The barge-based liquefaction plant will utilize an industry proven LNG process and be largely self-contained. The plant will be fabricated and assembled in a shipyard, then towed to its permanent location in Douglas Channel where it will be grounded on a prepared foundation and interconnected to support systems and the berth. A small LNG buffer tank, electrical substation, and other support facilities will be located on land adjacent to the liquifaction plant. The liquefaction plant is designed to convert up to 125 MMSCFD (million standard cubic feet per day) of natural gas into approximately 900,000 tonnes per annum of LNG. Initial LNG production will be approximately 700,000 tonnes per annum; this is based on the current transportation agreement and estimates of available pipeline capacity from the Pacific Nothern Gas.
The small scale Douglas Channel Energy Partnership (DCEP) liquefied natural gas facility will be located in British Columbia on the west bank of the Douglas Channel, south of the Half Moon Bay Marina, within the District of Kitimat and the asserted traditional territory of the Haisla Nation. The site is approximately 10 km southwest of Kitimat and 7 km north of Bees Cove Indian Reserve 6 (Bish Cove), on lands and within a water lot that are both owned by Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA).
Operators:
Douglas Channel Energy Partnership (DCEP): Operator with 100% interest
Contractors:
EXMAR: Responsible for the development and operation of the floating liquefaction facility. As the owner and operator of what will be world\'s first floating liquefaction facility (\"Caribbean FLNG\"), it has significant capabilities to leverage off building a similar facility for the Douglas Channel LNG project.
EDF Trading (EDFT) (a subsidiary of Electricite de France S.A.): Provision of pipeline capacity to deliver gas to the project and will be the LNG offtaker.
AltaGas Ltd.: Project manager of the Douglas Channel LNG project.
