The purpose of the pipeline is to supply gas to natural gas vehicle refueling outlets in urban areas.[1] It is also used to carry processed natural gas to the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore,[2] with the latter sent to Senoko Power Station.[3]
The PGU Project was constructed in 1984 and completed in 1993. The construction was divided into four phases including:
- Phase 1: Tok Arun - Kerteh
- Phase 2:
- Section 1: Kerteh - Gebeng - Segamat
- Section 2: Segamat - Johor Bahru - Pasir Gudang
- Section 3: Segamat - Pedas - Serdang
- Phase 3: Serdang-Gurun-Kangar
- Phase 4 (Multi Product Pipeline): Serdang - Port Dickson - Malacca
Phase 1 of the project was completed in mid-1984, with gas processed at a plant in Kerteh, then sent to the Paka power station and a steel mill at Teluk Kalong. [4] The gas processing plant costs RM 500 million.[2] It was jointly managed by Jurutera Konsultant (South-east Asia) Sdn Bhd and Stone of the United States.[5]
Studies for Phase 2 of the project began in early 1984, which extend from Teluk Kalong to Port Klang and Port Dickson in the west coast and Johor and Singapore.[4] The Phase 2 pipeline, which is 730 km (450 mi) long, began constructions in July 1988[2] and was scheduled to be completed in mid-1992.[6] At the same time, the gas processing plant in Kerteh was expanded.[2]
Studies for Phase 3 began in April 1991 and was expected to be completed by the end of 1991 with construction beginning in 1994. The Phase 3 pipeline is 310 km (190 mi) long and passes through Batang Berjuntai, Kampung Matang Aceh, Changkat Jering in Perak, and Kulim, Gurun and Pokok Sena in Kedah. Phase 3 determines the demand for gas in various power stations and industrial areas.[6]
