The Phase 2 award builds on the joint venture’s successful delivery of Phase 1 and its established track record on the project.

“LNG Canada Phase 1 was a landmark achievement for Fluor, and we are excited to carry that momentum into the next chapter,” said Jim Breuer, Chief Executive Officer of Fluor. “The decision to proceed with Phase 2 reflects confidence in Canada’s ability to responsibly develop its natural gas resources and connect them with global markets. Our teams will apply the experience and lessons learned from Phase 1 to deliver a successful project.”

Phase 2 will include the construction and commissioning of an additional LNG storage tank and two new liquefaction units, known as trains, doubling the facility’s production capacity to approximately 28 million tonnes per annum. The expansion will enhance processing, storage and shipping capabilities to meet growing global demand for reliable LNG.

“Reaching FID is an important milestone for LNG Canada and Fluor,” said Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s Business Group President of Energy Solutions. “Our long-standing relationship and successful delivery of Phase 1 provides a strong foundation for the work ahead. As construction progresses, our focus will remain on safety, quality and collaboration with our partners, First Nations and local communities.”

The joint venture delivered Phase 1 including engineering, procurement, fabrication management, construction and commissioning of two processing trains and associated infrastructure. The facility began producing LNG in June 2025. Handover of the facility was completed in October 2025.

Located on Canada’s west coast, the LNG Canada site benefits from access to abundant natural gas resources and an ice‑free deepwater harbor. With the Phase 2 expansion, the facility will be positioned to make a greater long‑term contribution to global energy security and strengthen Canada’s position as a leading LNG exporter.

LNG Canada is a joint venture comprised of Shell (40%), PETRONAS (25%), PetroChina (15%), Mitsubishi Corporation (15%) and KOGAS (5%).

Work at the LNG export facility for the Phase 2 project is being executed by JGC Fluor BC LNG II JV, a Canadian joint venture comprised of Fluor Canada Ltd (50%) and JGC Constructors (No2) BC Ltd (50%).

NAGOYA, Japan (AP) — An Se-young is the world's No. 1-ranked female badminton player, and she proved it again on Tuesday.

The South Korean star defeated three-time world champion Akane Yamaguchi of Japan 2-0 (21-17, 21-9) to take gold at the Asian Games.

An has now swept the board of big titles: Paris Olympic gold medalist, two-time world champion, and now two-time Asian Games champion.

An dropped to her knees after winning, did a deep backbend and looked skyward to celebrate.

“It feels like a dream,” she said. “I am so happy and I'm overwhelmed with emotion as I think back to all the hard work I've put in.”

An repeatedly used the entire court to keep Yamaguchi chasing.

“I decided to approach the match with the aim of making my opponent feel rushed and forcing her to move around a lot.”

This is the badminton that's widely popular across Asia — not the one of family picnics and backyard barbecues. It's lightning quick and knitted together by long rallies, chest-first dives and leaping overheads,

An defeated Chen Yufei in the semifinals for her fifth straight victory over her Chinese rival.

An has also stirred things up. After winning in Paris two years ago, she said the national training staff forced her to play through a knee injury. She also said the national team's training methods were outdated.

She threatened to play independently, but backed down from that.

It does not affect play at this level, but the price of shuttlecock has soared recently and forced officials to look for synthetic alternatives.

China is the top producer of shuttlecocks, but poultry production there has decreased in recent years — partly due to bird flu — leading to a shortage or goose or duck feathers to make the traditional shuttlecocks. That's led to a short supply and soaring prices.

The Badminton World Federation earlier this year approved the use of synthetic shuttlecocks in lower-level tournament. Players say the speed and rotation of the synthetic model is different from the traditional equipment.

“This initiative forms part of BWF’s long‑term approach to evaluating synthetic feather shuttlecocks for potential use at the elite level,” the BWF said in a statement earlier this year.
