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.
