CALGARY, Alberta, July 25 (Reuters) - Malaysia's state-owned energy company Petronas PETR.UL will not proceed with a proposed C$36 billion ($28.78 billion) liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in western Canada because of depressed prices and industry shifts, the company said on Tuesday.
Petronas and partners will continue to develop natural gas assets in Canada, Anuar Taib, the chairman of the board of Pacific NorthWest LNG, which is majority-owned by Petronas, said in a statement. ($1 = 1.2509 Canadian dollars)
