CNG Distribution: MOGE Distributing 17 Million Cubic Feet Of CNG Daily

Compressed Natural Gas [CNG] Department under the Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise [MOGE] is distributing the natural gas produced in Nyaungdon/Maubin oil and gas fields to the CNG filling stations through pipelines from the Ywama-Hlawka (store/distribute) stations. It is learnt that now, about 17 million cubic feet of natural gas is distributed to CNG stations per day.

General Manager, Compressed Natural Gas Department, Kyaw Thura Win said “Previously, when we were distributing the natural gas to CNG stations for 24 hours, we distributed about 24 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Now, we are distributing about 17 million cubic feet of natural gas per day between 5 AM and 9 PM. The natural gas from Nyaungdon/Maubin oil and gas fieldsis stored at Ywama (store/distribute) stations, and is distributed to 11 CNG stations. Before the gas reach Ywama (store/distribute) stations, we also distribute it to 5 CNG stations in Htaukkyant, Hlawka, Shwe Nyaung Pin, Shwe Pyi Thar (1) and (2). After the gas reach Ywama stations, it will be further distributed to 9 CNG stations between Ywama and Thoe Kyaung Kalay through the pipelines.”

Maintenance is also made by the department if there is any defect at the stations.

General Manager, Compressed Natural Gas Department, Kyaw Thura Win said “When the spare parts for repairing the engines at the CNG stations arrive, we install them and maintain them. If the engine power decreases at certain stations, we will plan to buy new compressors and repair them according to the budget.”

It is known that the department of CNG is distributing the gas regularly to the CNG stations so that the CNG vehicles can refuel comfortably. Moreover, the department is maintaining the engines and pipelines at the CNG stations to be sustainable.
