LONDON, December 21, 2018 – ExxonMobil has frozen plans to build an LNG export terminal in Canada’s British Colombia province, international media reported on Thursday.
The terminal was slated to have a capacity of about 15 million tonnes per year and to serve primarily customers in Asia, Reuters reported.
