Combined natural gas production of the equity partners in LNG Canada was estimated to be 2.13 Bcf/d in April 2025 (combined height of the rightmost colored bars in chart below), a small pullback from 2.24 Bcf/d estimated for March, and 0.11 Bcf/d higher than one year ago. The small month-to-month decrease likely reflects some wellhead and plant maintenance and the possibility of modest production declines as none of the partnership’s largest producers (Shell, Petronas, and Ovintiv via production sharing with Mitsubishi) recorded any gas well completions in British Columbia (BC) in the month of April.

LNG Canada Gas Production Update and Inching Toward First Liquefaction
Gas production for the LNG Canada partners recovered in March from wellhead freeze-offs in February and remains near the notional intake capacity for LNG Canada of 2.1 Bcf/d. Additional commissioning work continues with the first LNG export cargo still expected to take place in July.

Reaching Out - The Gathering Pipes That Will Supply the Coastal GasLink Pipeline
It will still be a few years until Canada joins the ranks of nations exporting natural gas in the form of LNG. Until then, a great deal of work has to be completed on both the LNG Canada liquefaction and export facility in Kitimat, BC, and the primary gas pipeline linked to it: the Coastal GasLink. Unlike most LNG export sites in the U.S., which can receive feedgas from multiple production basins via an array of major trunklines, the LNG Canada plant will be relying on gas supplies from primarily one basin: the Montney in Western Canada. And all that feedgas will be transported across British Columbia through one mammoth pipeline. In today’s blog, we take a closer look at the small number of pipelines that will supply gas from the Montney to Coastal GasLink for eventual delivery to LNG Canada.

LNG Canada Gas Production Update and Getting Ready for First Liquefaction
Gas production by the equity partners in LNG Canada pulled back slightly in February, likely due to wellhead freeze-offs as a result of much colder than average weather during the month. Additional activities at the Kitimat site point to liquefaction activities getting underway in the next few weeks.
