Sydney Morning Herald: Woodside Petroleum Mulls Myanmar Gas Sales to China, Thailand

Woodside Petroleum is considering piping gas from its discoveries off the coast of Myanmar to China or Thailand as part of a strategy to accelerate development of the finds as progress at its large Browse floating LNG project has faltered.

Gas from the two finds, reported in January and February this year, could be taken onshore and fed into the Myanmar market, or piped through spare capacity in existing onshore pipelines to Thailand or up to China, chief operating officer Mike Utsler said.

"You have three markets that are already in place, with piping and infrastructure already in place that you can bring the offshore connection in," Mr Utsler told reporters on the sidelines of the LNG18 conference in Perth. MORE
