The B.C. government has received four new proposals to develop an LNG facility in Prince Rupert.
Bids were received from:
- Nexen (TSE:NXY);
- Woodside Petroleum (WPL:ASE);
- SK E&S; and
- Imperial Oil (TSE:IMO) with ExxonMobil Canada (XOM).
The government issued a call for proposals in February to develop the project on Grassy Point, the site of a failed LNG project in the 1980s.
The deadline for submission in response to the government’s request for proposals was March 18, and the decision process is now underway.
