The Sabah-Sarawak Gas Pipeline (SSGP) project is now in its final phase with 85 per cent already completed

The massive multi-billion ringgit infrastructure project is expected to be ready by the first quarter of next year.

“We estimate the gas to start flowing by April next year if everything goes as planned,” SSGP senior project manager Shaiful Bahrin Hashim said during a media briefing at the SSGP Camp 5 in Long Bedian recently.

“The length of the pipeline is 94km in Sabah and 427km in Sarawak, and involves more than 3,000 workers, half of whom were recruited from local people.”

The other seven SSGP camps along the 521km route are Camp 1 Beaufort, Sabah; Camp 2, Lawas; Camp 3, Merarap; Camp 4, Limbang; Camp 6, Long Lapok; Camp 7, Niah; and Camp 8, Bintulu.

Ah, some interesting tech news, dateline 2010-02-03:

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the Trans-Oriental Gas Pipeline (TOGP) has been signed between Distinct Objective Sdn Bhd (DOSB), Asia Consortium Petroleum Engineering and Gas, Messrs Enmac Sekutu Sdn Bhd, China’s Panyu Chu Kong Steel Pipe Co and Dongah Tec of Korea.

Under the agreement, approximately 4,000 km of subsea natural gas pipeline, extending from Malaysia to South Korea, will be constructed.

DOSB will build a 2,500 km section of pipeline running from offshore Pahang, Malaysia to north Vietnam.

I take that back, some interesting political news. From offshore Pahang… wonder where our PM hails from, think it was coastline province of one state on the east coast.
