In the News
Petronas- state-owned Malaysian energy company, and its Asian partners said Thursday that the Pacific NorthWest LNG ("
--->PNW LNG") joint venture will proceed, subject to completion this fall of a federal environmental assessment of the ter
--->minal to be built on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, in northern British Columbia. PNW LNG said that giving condition
--->al approval is a crucial milestone.
"The Final Investment Decision will be confirmed by the partners of PNW LNG once two outstanding conditions have been
--->resolved," the consortium said Thursday. "The first condition is approval of the Project Development Agreement by the
---> Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, and the second is a positive regulatory decision on the environmental asses
--->sment by the Government of Canada." The B.C. government has already said it would recall the legislature this fall if
---> necessary to put into law the project development agreement.
Petronas holds a 62-per cent interest in PNW LNG. The partners are China's state-owned Sinopec, whose formal name is
--->China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (10 percent), India's state-run Indian Oil Corp. Ltd. (10 percent), Japan Petroleum E
