Infographic: A comparison of LNG costs in Canada to foreign jurisdictions

• 26 Feb 2015

The total capital costs involved in building Canada’s nascent LNG industry are not entirely clear. Various reports have compared costs across jurisdictions, always with slightly differing outcomes. Nonetheless, a breakdown of where these expenditures are going sheds some light on Canada’s global competitiveness relative to other countries. Russia, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, Australia, the U.S. and Canada are just a few jurisdictions looking to expand into the LNG market. Alberta Oil has evaluated the latter three, citing a report from RBC Capital Markets that estimates costs by comparing between various jurisdictions, from the well pad to its final landed price in Japan. The infographic is available here.
