ExxonMobil Canada Ltd. and Imperial Oil Ltd. have withdrawn their proposal for the WCC LNG project in British Columbia (OGJ Online, July 10, 2013).

The affiliated companies, each with 50% of the project, had planned to build as many as six liquefaction trains with capacities of 5 million tonnes/year (tpy) each in the Prince Rupert area.

They said they withdrew their proposal from environmental review by the provincial government

Of as many as 20 liquefaction projects originally proposed for British Columbia, the 14-million-tpy LNG Canada venture led by Shell is the only one for which a final investment decision has been made (OGJ Online, Oct. 2, 2018).
