Gas Liquids Engineering Celebrates Key Milestone at Ridley Island Energy Export Project

Gas Liquids Engineering Ltd. (GLE), based in Calgary, has recently marked a crucial milestone by successfully concluding its Issued for Construction (IFC) scope for the Ridley Island Energy Export Facility (REEF) project. This achievement encompasses comprehensive phases of detailed engineering and technical integration across various disciplines, including pipeline construction, process engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, instrumentation, construction, and structural design.

The REEF project operates as a 50/50 joint venture between AltaGas Ltd. and Royal Vopak, having gained a positive Final Investment Decision (FID) for Phase I in May 2024. Strategically located for access to the Pacific's deep waters, the facility aims to enhance the export capacity of Canadian energy products to significant Asian markets. This development is expected to foster market diversification and bolster Canada's position in the global energy trade.

Ryan Arnold, Vice President of Projects at Gas Liquids Engineering, expressed pride in the company’s contribution to this major initiative. He noted, "This project is a significant milestone in Gas Liquids Engineering’s portfolio concerning energy export and terminal facilities. We are proud to have supported AltaGas in this pivotal endeavor and collaborated with industry-leading manufacturers and service providers."

Furthermore, Brett Stowkowy, Vice President of Projects Engineering at AltaGas, acknowledged the importance of this milestone from GLE's contributions to the REEF project. Stowkowy remarked, "REEF is a showcase initiative for both AltaGas and Vopak, and the timely completion of GLE’s contract represents a critical component of our project execution as we move forward with the construction effort."

The Ridley Island Energy Export Facility is designed as an open-access export terminal for liquefied gas (LPG) and liquid commodities, with an estimated initial throughput capacity of 55,000 barrels of propane and butane per day. The facility will feature advanced loading infrastructure, significant storage capabilities, and connections to existing rail and marine transport systems, ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient operations.

With over three decades of experience in engineering solutions for gas processing, liquid handling, and export facilities, Gas Liquids Engineering has established itself as a leader in the oil, gas, and energy infrastructure sectors. Since its inception in 1987, GLE has delivered extensive technical solutions worldwide.
