Gas Liquids Engineering Ltd. has completed the engineering validation of its scope for the Ridley Island Energy Export Facility (REEF), marking a key milestone ahead of the terminal’s construction phase. The company’s contract included critical technical components covering piping, process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, civil and structural engineering.

The Ridley Island Energy Export Facility is a 50/50 joint venture between AltaGas Ltd. and Royal Vopak. The project received a positive Final Investment Decision (FID) for Phase I in May 2024. The facility will be located near Prince Rupert, British Columbia, with strategic access to deepwater on the Pacific coast.

A terminal built for performance and connectivity

REEF is designed as an open-access export terminal for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and other bulk liquid products, with an initial projected capacity of 55,000 barrels per day of propane and butane. The facility will include advanced loading infrastructure, storage installations, and full integration with existing rail and marine transportation systems.

Gas Liquids Engineering highlighted the complexity of the integration work carried out for the project. “This project represents an important step in our portfolio of export and terminal infrastructure,” said Ryan Arnold, Vice President of Projects at Gas Liquids Engineering, referring to the coordination with suppliers and industrial partners involved in this phase.

AltaGas and Vopak aim to optimise Asian-bound flows

The strategic objective of the REEF terminal is to diversify markets for Canadian hydrocarbons by facilitating exports to Asian markets. Its geographic location will shorten logistical timelines and improve the competitiveness of volumes shipped from Canada.

AltaGas and Royal Vopak view REEF as a critical part of their long-term energy infrastructure strategy. “The completion of GLE’s scope is a key milestone as we enter the construction phase,” said Brett Stowkowy, Vice President of Projects and Engineering at AltaGas Ltd.
