Background

The pipeline project is expected to cost 99 billion baht ($2.8 billion) and is expected to be completed in 2021.[1][3] Rayong is the receiving port for Thailand’s LNG imports and is located adjacent to the country’s only re-gasification plant.[12]

Phase-I of the project included 150 kilometers long pipeline and supporting facilities, and was reportedly completed in March 2020.[13][14] Phase II includes 200 kilometers long pipeline from the tie-in point at Phanomsarakarm district of Chachoengsao to the existing gas pipeline network at Sai Noi Nonthaburi.[6] In 2018 PTT signed a contract with JSC OGCC KazStroyService (KSS) for construction of Phase II.[15] As per PTT's Annual Report 2021, the pipeline segments till the control station 5.8 in Chachoengsao had been commissioned.[3][11]

The pipeline was commissioned in May 2024. [8][7]
