with Indigenous peoples.
“As Canadians across the country are
experiencing, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt day-to-day lives. This is equally true of the consultation process on NGTL 2021.
“Due to health and safety guidelines and concerns related to the pandemic, Phase III consultations have faced delays, and some Indigenous groups have requested additional time so that they may fully participate in Crown consultations on NGTL 2021.
“To ensure there is sufficient time to fulfil this constitutional obligation, while respecting public health and safety precautions, the Governor in Council (GiC) has extended the timeline so that a decision on NGTL 2021 can be made no later than October 19, 2020.
“The Government of Canada’s focus will remain on fulfilling our duty to meaningfully consult in a safe and responsible manner. For example, where possible, we have converted to videoconferencing and teleconferencing.
“The continuity of Canada’s energy sector is critical to the recovery of our economy. This is why, over the past several weeks, the Government of Canada has put in place measures that support the industry and its workers as it faces the twofold crisis of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and global price instabilities.
“We want good projects to move forward. We know from experience that good projects can only move forward with stability and certainty when we get the process right.” NATURAL RESOURCES CANADA, May 19, 2020

McDermott and Chiyoda
announce first liquid from
Cameron LNG Train 3
McDermott International, Inc. and its joint venture partner, Chiyoda International Corporation, a US-based wholly owned
subsidiary of Chiyoda Corporation, Japan, today announced that Train 3 of the Cameron LNG project in Hackberry, Louisiana, has begun producing liquefied natural gas (LNG). While production is in the initial phases,
this significant project accomplishment is a precursor to substantial completion of Train 3 and comes just weeks after announcing introduction of feed gas to Train 3 on April 22.
“I applaud the hard work and commitment of the entire joint venture project team whose focus on safety and delivery during this dynamic time brought Train 3 to the state of producing liquefied natural gas,” said Mark Coscio, McDermott’s senior vice president for North, Central and South America.
“The teamwork and diligence they have placed on safety and health as we navigate through the current COVID-19 pandemic has enabled us to continue our operations and deliver the project.”
McDermott and Chiyoda have provided the engineering, procurement and construction for the Cameron LNG project since the project’s initial award in 2014. The project includes three liquefaction trains with a projected export of 12mn tonnes per annum of LNG, or approximately 1.7bn cubic feet per day.
Cameron LNG is jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra LNG, Total, Mitsui & Co. and Japan LNG Investment, a company jointly owned
by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK).
