A Malaysian oil and gas specialist company announced on Thursday it would build a $100 billion cross-border gas pipeline that stretches through Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, Indonesia and China.
The 7,000 kilometre-long pipeline, said to be ASEAN and China’s first natural gas pipeline network would link Mersing in Malaysia’s Southern Johor state to an offshore utility platform in Northern Natuna Islands, Indonesia and extends to Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, and eventually Hong Kong and Guangzhou in China.
The company Panelpoint said construction of the pipeline could begin in six months to a year although it has yet to receive a formal permit by the governments of the countries where the pipeline would lay.
