PTT assures that it will sufficiently stock liquefied natural gas, bunker oil and diesel for electricity generation and that the Yadana gas field maintenance shutdown will not affect power demand in the industrial sector and gas demand in the transport se
Phanu Suthirat, executive vice president of PTT, also assured that from April 14, Yadana gas field will resume its operations and Myanmar's gas supply of 1,100 million cubic feet per day would resume from the day onwards.
Yadana gas field will be shut down from April 5. As PTT was notified of the annual maintenance a year in advance, it cannot call for compensation or a 25 per cent discount of gas price, Phanu said.
Thailand consumes about 5,000 mcfpd. Myanmar's gas supply is distributed to power plants (981 mcfpd), industrial plants (23 mcfpd) and gas stations (96 mcfpd).
