The South Koreans were the demand catalyst for the Kitimat export project...

B.C. emerges as major natural gas player
As gas supplants forestry as the province's economic driver, big industry players such as Korea Gas are lining up to grab their share
Message 25853955

For gas producers, an export terminal is an attractive option because gas prices in Asia are often significantly higher than in North America, making up for the extra cost to move the commodity a far greater distance than to producers' usual customer, the United States.

And for a company such as Korea Gas, a connection with B.C. gives it one more option as it works to ensure future supplies.

Mr. Sorensen said it was Korea Gas that turned heads. The company's chief executive officer, Kang-Soo Choo - who regularly deals with the likes of Russia's OAO Gazprom, the world's biggest natural gas company - personally worked on the deal, braced by the view that B.C. can deliver on a promise of long-term supply. A memorandum of understanding specifies that Korea Gas would buy 40 per cent of the facility's planned 700 million cubic feet a day of capacity.
