August 7, 2017: canceled LNG project casts shadow over Canada's biggest shale play.
Petronas' decision to cancel its Pacific NorthWest LNG project is a blow to the growth outlook for Canada's largest shale play, eliminating a potentially huge source of future gas demand.
Gas from the Montney shale play in western Canada would have supplied the C$36 billion ($28.7 billion) project in northern British Columbia. The project, majority-owned by Malaysia's Petronas, would then have shipped 12 megatonnes per year of liquefied natural gas to Asia.
Instead, state-owned Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) subsidiary Progress Energy will keep developing and selling gas from its vast Montney position into a North American market where prices have been languishing at historically low levels.

Mitsubishi Corp. agreed to acquire a partnership with EnCana Corp. to develop Cutbank Ridge undeveloped lands in northeastern British Columbia. Terms call for Mitshbishi to invest $2.9 billion (Can.) for a 40% interest.

The partnership holds 409,000 net acres of Encana’s undeveloped Montney formation gas assets in the Cutbank Ridge play. Encana will operate the partnership and be the managing partner with 60% interest in the partnership.

Randy Eresman, Encana president and chief executive officer, said Encana began nearly a decade ago to assemble its land position in the Cutbank Ridge in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies.
