GAIL is mulling over a proposal for investing in building a pipeline from a gas field off Myanmar coast to China.
The company has received a proposal from South Korea based Daewoo International Corporation and Korea Gas Corporation for joining the project.
Daewoo holds 51 per cent operating interest in the two offshore Myanmar blocks - A1 and A3. Korea Gas Corp (8.5 per cent), GAIL (8.5 per cent), ONGC Videsh (17 per cent), and Myanmar Oil & Gas Enterprise (15 per cent) are the other stakeholders. Myanmar had decided to sell gas from this field to China.
The pipeline may cost $1.5 billion (approx Rs 7,350 crore). The 890-km pipeline is likely to be built through a separate consortium. If GAIL decides to participate in the pipeline project, it may like to go through with its JV with China Gas. GAIL's investment in the pipeline project works out to be about Rs 700 crore.
