ExxonMobil, just one of a number of companies that has offered up an interest in North Coast Terminal development of late, made their filing with the National Energy Board on Wednesday.
A request which reportedly calls for shipments to begin sometime between 2021 and 2023, indicative of the increased interest that the company has in moving forward with it's North Coast plans.
The export licence applied for by Exxon on Wednesday, would provide for at least 25 years of energy shipments from a terminal, the location of which has yet to be announced by the company.
According to Bloomberg News, Exxon is "assessing potential contstruction sites for an LNG plant that would include six processing units in the Kitimat and Prince Rupert areas."
In September of 2012, the global energy giant first mentioned its interest in Northwest possibilities, assessing its options for the Horn River resource that they hope to develop for export prospects.
Exxon's Canadian subsidiary was one of a number of companies that recently expressed an interest in possible development of Prince Rupert's Grassy Point region.
