Of the total PGN pipelines, more than a third has open access status, which means it can be also used by third parties.
?Of the total 6,470 km pipelines, about 2,400 km are open access pipelines,? said PGN Head of Corporate Communications Irwan Andri Atmanto on Wednesday. He said that this means PGN operates the longest open access gas pipeline in the country.
