March 05, 2010

The Company is pleased to advise that McConnell Dowell Constructors Thai Ltd has been awarded the EPC contract for the Fourth Transmission Pipeline Interconnecting Pipelines Project by PTT Public Company Ltd (PTT).

The Interconnecting Pipelines package forms part of the new gas transmission pipeline to transport gas from the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal at the Maptaput Industrial Estate near Rayong to a tie-in station on the existing Wang Noi to Kaeng Khoi Pipeline in Saraburi Province.

The Interconnecting Pipelines package will provide for bidirectional transfer of gas between the LNG Terminal and the existing PTT Gas Separation Plant. The purpose of transferring the gas between the two facilities is to control and manage the quality of gas dispatched to the PTT Transmission Pipelines (the three existing transmission pipelines and the new Fourth Transmission Pipeline).

The Scope of work includes:

  • The Feed Gas Interconnecting Pipeline of approximately 13 km length of 42-inch OD pipeline from the Gas Separation Plant to the Fourth Transmission Pipeline Gas Dispatching Facilities adjacent to the LNG Terminal;
  • The Sales Gas Interconnecting Pipeline of approximately 13 km length of 36-inch OD pipeline from the Fourth Transmission Pipeline Gas Dispatching Facilities to the Gas Separation Plant;
  • An initial 4km section of the Fourth Transmission Pipeline;
  • Tie-ins at the existing Gas Separation Plant including modification of existing pipe support racks and installation of all new additional pipe supports and racks between tie-ins and the new Gas Separation Plant Launcher/Receiver Area;
  • A Gas Dispatching Facility adjacent to the new LNG Terminal, including extensive new pipe support racks for pipes runs between the Gas Dispatching Facility and the LNG Terminal; and
  • Utility Systems at the Gas Separation Plant Launcher/Receiver Station and the Gas Dispatching Facility.

The project is scheduled for completion early 2011.
