Intake of natural gas at the LNG Canada liquefaction site in Kitimat, BC reached a record monthly average of 1.78 Bcf/d in June 2026 (green column and text in chart below) as reported in our Canadian NatGas Billboard. This surpasses the previous best value of 1.70 Bcf/d posted in April 2026 (purple column and text) with the record also marking the one-year anniversary of the first commercial cargo shipped to Asian customers in June 2025. On the heels of the June record, we are currently estimating that July gas intake will drop to 1.2 Bcf/d as flare replacement work and other onsite maintenance has been taking place since the end of June. LNG Canada has not provided any timeline as to when this work might be completed.
