Background

The Zawtika field was discovered in 2007 and gas was first delivered through the pipeline in 2014. The 300 kilometers long pipeline includes a 230-kilometers offshore segment and a 70 kilometers onshore segment which runs till Kanbauk, Tanintharyi.

Replacement pipeline

In November 2018 it was reported that that PTTEP is planning to build a replacement pipeline due to the deteriorating condition of the original. However, there have been no updated regarding the replacement since then, so the plan is presumed to be shelved.
