PGN secures gas sales contracts for SSWJ I and II pipelines

State-owned gas distribution company PGN has secured long-term contracts for the sales of more than 90 percent of gas volume to be supplied through its South Sumatra-West Java (SSWJ) pipeline I and II, Investor Daily reported on Tuesday.

"About 600 million cubic of the 650 million cubic of gas per day to be supplied through SSWJ I and II pipeline have been sold under long-term contracts," PGN's coordinator for communication affairs Agus Dihardjo said.

The SSWJ I and II which are now under construction are expected to commence its operation in November next year and in March, 2007, respectively. The gas pipeline will receive gas supply from ConocoPhlilips' Corridor gas block in Grissik, South Sumatra. (*)
