SEAGP to provide for local needs along Myanmar-China gas pipeline

Southeast Asia Gas Pipeline Company Limited (SEAGP) and Southeast Asia Crude Oil Pipeline Company Limited (SEAOP) will carry out the needs of locals living along Myanmar-China gas pipeline, according to SEAGP and SEAOP.

The Myanmar-China oil and gas pipelines run parallel to the coastal township of Kyaukphyu through Magway, Mandalay, and finally Shan State before entering China's Yunnan Province through the border town of Ruili.

The gas pipeline is 793 km long and the oil pipeline is 771 km long. Myanmar aims to transport 22 million tonnes of crude oil and 2 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year from Shwe gas project to China.

The pipeline will carry a capacity of 5.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year during the initial period and up to 12 billion cubic meters in later years. Six process stations will also be built along the pipeline.

The two companies will build basic infrastructure for local people such as schools, hospitals and provide electricity and purified drinking water, take care of children and the elderly and construct district-to-district roads.

The SEAGP will build 11 schools and four care centres for orphans, two artesian wells and electricity network in Shan State and Mandalay region. 

The SEAOP also will start the constructions of ten schools, a road to school, a village-to-village road, two rural clinics and one dispensary in Rakhine State and Magway region.

The SEAGP and the SEAOP have signed an agreement of Socio Eco providing projects for locals staying along Myanmar-China oil and gas natural pipeline in 2013-2014 fiscal years in Mandalay, the central Myanmar, on August 16.
