Gas shortage in NE anticipated
Play
Natural gas shortage in the Northeast is anticipated for some time, following the technical disruption of gas supply from Sin Phu Hom well in Udon Thani.
PTT said in a statement that the supply was disrupted late April 11 due to equipment malfunction. For safety, the production was stopped.
This prevented PTT from supplying gas to the main station in Nam Phong district, Khon Kaen, and this will reduce the daily gas supply from 600 tonnes per day to 400 tonnes. It handled this situation by supplying more gas to the Kaeng Khoi main station in Saraburi and deploying mobile trucks the affected stations. However, it noted that the problem will persist for some time, due to heavy traffic during Songkran festival which will slow the shipment.
