Jason Klein replaces Peter Zebedee, who stepped down in late March as CEO of the project, which is being built in Kitimat, B.C. for exporting liquefied natural gas to Asia
Mr. Zebedee’s surprising exit took effect as the B.C. project entered its peak construction phase. He joined Suncor Energy Inc. this week as a vice-president in Alberta.
“I’m excited to join the team, especially at this time with construction in Kitimat progressing steadily and safely towards completion and the organization preparing for decades of successful operations,” Mr. Klein said in a statement on Wednesday.LNG Canada is building an $18-billion terminal, aiming to start exporting natural gas in liquid form on ocean-bound vessels in 2025. The terminal is being constructed on the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation.
“Jason takes over accountability for LNG Canada at a very important and active time,” Susannah Pierce, Shell Canada president and country chair, said in a statement. LNG Canada estimates project-related costs will total $40-billion for the first phase, counting the Kitimat terminal and various infrastructure that includes the Coastal GasLink pipeline to be operated by TC Energy Corp.
