ExxonMobil cancels Canada LNG project

Canada
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.

“After careful review, ExxonMobil and Imperial [Oil Resources] have withdrawn the WCC LNG project from the environmental assessment process,” Julie King, a spokeswoman for ExxonMobil, told the agency.

“[ExxonMobil has been] taking advantage of opportunities as they become available to invest, restructure or divest assets to strengthen our long-term competitive position and provide the highest return to shareholders.”
