Thailand natural-gas project moves ahead
The longest offshore pipeline currently under construction in the world is the 264-mile 34-in. submarine transmission line connecting Union Oil's natural gas production platform in the Gulf of Thailand to the 99-mile 28-in. onshore pipeline being laid from the landfall point to Bangkok. The entire facility will be operating by Sept. 15, 1981. Custody of the gas will be transferred to the Petroleum Authority of Thailand (PTT) at the platform; the gas will pass through a dewpoint-control unit at the shoreline near Rayong and to a mainline pressure-regulation and odor-injection station before it is delivered to the Electricity Generation Authority of Thailand (EGAT) at two power plants, Bang Pakong and South Bangkok.
