The terms of the agreement mean Bechtel will initiate a detailed review of the scope and design of the Goldboro LNG Facility.
It will also develop a comprehensive engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) execution plan by 31 March next year.
The company will also deliver a final lump sum, turnkey EPCC contract price proposal by 31 May 2021.
Pieridae Energy CEO Alfred Sorensen said: “Bechtel has significant experience building and delivering global LNG projects, helping their customers deliver about 30% of the world’s LNG capacity over the past two decades.

By GlobalData“Goldboro LNG is a shovel-worthy and shovel-ready project that will create thousands of jobs and help put Canadians back to work in a Covid-impacted environment, provide real, enduring and tangible economic benefits for first nations, help lower global emissions by supplying LNG overseas to replace coal, and increase Europe’s choices in sourcing natural gas.”
Key deliverables in the services agreement also include conducting a ‘meaningful engagement’ with the Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq First Nations, including their participation in the construction of a ‘large-scale work camp’ at the site.
Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals president Paul Marsden said: “We are honoured to partner with Pieridae to deliver a cleaner energy future.
“We bring a long history of successfully delivering projects in Canada and partnering with our global customers to expand access to this energy source. Together with Pieridae, we look forward to successfully bringing this project and its economic benefits to the Goldboro region.”
In May, Pieridae Energy negotiated extensions to the key deadlines of its long-term deal with German firm Uniper for the Golboro LNG export project.
In October last year, Pieridae acquired Shell Canada’s midstream and upstream assets in the Alberta Foothills area for C$190m (approximately $144m).
