Shell Races Apache to LNG From Kitimat to Asia: Corporate Canada

Royal Dutch Shell Plc is pushing ahead of competitors in the race to be the first exporter of Canadian liquefied natural gas to Asia.

Europe’s largest oil company last week selected Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. to build a $4 billion pipeline to carry gas from northeast British Columbia to the Pacific coast. Shell’s partners in the project are Mitsubishi Corp., Korea Gas Corp. and PetroChina Co., which are based in the world’s three largest LNG importing markets.
