Yokogawa Electric has announced that its subsidiary, Yokogawa Corporation of America, has been selected by JGC Fluor BC LNG II Joint Venture (JFJV2) as the main automation contractor (MAC) for the LNG Canada Phase 2 project in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada. For this project, JFJV2, a joint venture between JGC Corporation and Fluor Corporation, is responsible for delivering engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction and commissioning services.
Phase 1 of the LNG Canada export facility began producing LNG in June 2025, and the facility handover was completed in October 2025. Designated by the Government of Canada as a “Project of National Significance,” Phase 2 represents one of the largest private-sector investments in Canada and is expected further to strengthen Canada’s role as an LNG exporter and trusted energy supplier to the global market.
The Phase 2 expansion project will add two new LNG processing units, known as Trains 3 and 4, along with an additional LNG storage tank, a condensate tank, a loading berth, and expanded utility and process systems. The project will double the facility’s production capacity from 14 to 28 million tons per annum.
As the MAC, Yokogawa’s scope includes the CENTUM VP integrated production control system and the ProSafe-RS safety instrumented system, as well as fire and gas systems, process historians, operator training simulators, asset management solutions, advanced applications, cybersecurity infrastructure and industrial networks.
The integrated automation systems will provide monitoring and control for Trains 3 and 4 and associated utility and common infrastructure. Phase 2 will extend the Yokogawa automation platform already established for Phase 1. The experience gained in Phase 1, along with the reuse of established system architectures, control philosophies, and engineering standards, is expected to support greater consistency across the facility, improve project execution efficiency, and reduce execution and integration risks.
