Cancelled Petronas LNG project casts shadow over Canada’s biggest shale play
August 7, 2017 – Petronas’decision to cancel its Pacific NorthWest LNG project is a blow to the growth outlook for Canada’s largest shale play, eliminating a potentially huge source of future gas demand. Gas from the Montney shale play in western Canada would have supplied the C$36 billion ($28.7 billion) project in northern British Columbia. The project, majority-owned by Malaysia’s Petronas, would then have shipped 12 megatonnes per year of liquefied natural gas to Asia. Instead, state-owned Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) subsidiary Progress Energy will keep developing and selling gas from its vast Montney position into a North American market where prices have been languishing at historically low levels.
