LNG Canada prepares to start train 2

The 14mn t/yr LNG Canada export terminal has begun the start-up process on its second train, it said in a community flaring notification on 6 October.

The terminal advises that flaring activities associated with the 7mn t/yr train 2 start-up will occur between 7 October and 10 November, which can create noise and visible emissions. LNG Canada explains that flaring is a normal activity during facility start-ups and shutdowns, but will occur less frequently once it starts normal operations.

Train 2 is starting up despite train 1 not having reached consistent full production. Based on its technical capacity of 7mn t/yr, the train would be able to produce around 583,000t of LNG a month. That said, LNG Canada shipped around 291,000t of LNG last month, compared with 363,000t in August and 277,000t in July, when the start-up process for train 1 began, according to ship tracking data by Kpler.

The slow ramp-up of the terminal also contributed to a regional supply glut at the end of September, and the average day-ahead price in western Canada even plunged into a negative range over 22-26 September.
