Canada resumes environ review of Malaysia's Petronas led LNG project

Petronas could emerge with rival bids

VANCOUVER: The environmental review of a Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas)-led liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in western Canada has resumed, starting the clock on a final three-month extension granted by the federal government, Canada’s environmental regulator said.

Petronas and its partners have been waiting about three years for a permit to build the Pacific NorthWest LNG export terminal in northern British Columbia. The review process was last paused in March when the regulator requested more information from the company.
