Ferus Natural Gas Fuels commissions 1st merchant LNG facility in Canada

27 October 2014

Ferus Natural Gas Fuels Inc. (Ferus NGF) held the grand opening of the first merchant liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Canada. The facility, which became commercially operational in May 2014, is located in Elmworth, Alberta, about 65 kilometers southwest of Grand Prairie. The LNG plant is located in the heart of oil and gas activity in northwest Alberta and northeast British Columbia, and produces high-quality LNG fuel for engines used in drilling rigs, pressure pumping services, water heating for well fracturing and heavy-duty highway and off-road trucks.

Other high horsepower applications for this LNG are in rail, mining, and remote power generation. To support the entire LNG supply chain, Ferus NGF has also designed and built specialized mobile storage and dispensing equipment to provide full-service fueling solutions.

Currently, the facility can produce up to 50,000 gallons per day of LNG and has capacity to expand up to 250,000 gallons per day of LNG.

Regionally focused small-scale LNG plants like the one we have built in Elmworth ensure proximal and reliable supply for our customers.

Ferus NGF is privately held by The Energy Minerals Group, the management company for a series of specialized private equity funds. Ferus NGF provides end-to-end LNG and CNG fueling services including liquefaction, compression, transportation, storage and delivery. In addition to the merchant LNG plant, the company is jointly building two LNG liquefaction facilities with ENN Canada in Alberta and British Columbia.

In the United States, Ferus NGF LP is an equal partner in Eagle LNG Partners, a consortium dedicated to building out LNG infrastructure across the country, and is partnered with GE Ventures in The Last Mile Fueling Solution, a fully-integrated natural gas fueling system for oil and gas and other high horsepower operations, often using gas that would have otherwise been flared.
