Grassy Point site still an option

Woodside LNG says it is not turning its back on the proposed terminal at Grassy Point.

Despite spending $2.75 billion to, in part, purchase a 50 per cent interest in the Kitimat LNG project in December, Woodside LNG says it is not turning its back on the proposed terminal at Grassy Point.

“Woodside has been studying Grassy Point as a potential LNG development site. In parallel with our Kitimat interest, we will continue to progress our Grassy Point site assessment,” said Woodside corporate affairs adviser Dayna Burns.

Woodside agreed to pay the provincial government $17 million last January for exclusivity to a 693.6 hectare parcel of land at Grassy Point to examine the feasibility of constructing an LNG export terminal to handle up to 6.5 million tonnes of LNG per year. The company has not yet decided whether the terminal would be based on land or be a floating terminal.
