Continuing my expansion of the above article, I thought I would comment on the map that is displayed in the article.
First thing I would like to point out is that the author says the green and blue line represents an oil transportation system.
At the moment, peninsular Malaysia has no oil transportation system. And there are no plans to have a consumer level transportation system (i.e. from refinery to distribution centre, to being piped into petrol stations and the like).
However, the blue line can be said to represent the Peninsular Gas Utilization (PGU) routing. To quote from the website:
“Through its listed subsidiary PETRONAS Gas Bhd, PETRONAS has since 1984 been implementing the three-phase Peninsular Gas Utilisation (PGU) project, an infrastructure development project to process and transmit natural gas fed from the fields offshore Terengganu to end-users in the power, industrial and commercial sectors. The entire PGU system now spans over 1,700km, comprising main gas transmission pipelines, supply pipelines and laterals.”
That covers the blue pill. Let’s chat about the green pill some other time.

Saya anak Kelantan dari perantauan keje cari makan sini suka sangat kalu BN memerintah di kelantan. Nik Aziz jah hok molek hok lain ada niat lain jgk. Sama jah Pas ko BN. Tapi kalu guna sentimen agama untuk tipu orang ni maknanya jahat dari BN la. Sebut jah politik mesti ada sandiwara tapi kalu bersandiwara dalam agama ni jahat macam iblis lagi rasanya. Semoga saya dapat balik ke kelantan untuk berkhidmat memajukan oil and gas kelantan. Dari Ethylene Cracker Complex, Shell Eastern Petroleum, Singapore.

FYI, Gas from the existing field is sold to Thailand because they can offer more that other people, if the gas is to be sent to Kelantan then routed to Thailand, what would be the infrastructure cost? Can the profit from gas sales cover the infrastructure cost? Futhermore the site mention falls under Malaysian Thai Joint Development Authority and both goverment has to agree on it. It is a complex case as it involved the laws of 2 country.

The fundamental issue is the location of the deposit which would determince and declare the rights of ownership.
Undoubtedly, managing sales and production is important and it’s irrelevant how its done, ie, the alternative most economic to use. The absolute question, whose resources, asset or rights are involved, so that due rights are appropriately distributed. Anything less, is theft, robbery and piracy.

Every month I back to Kubang Kerian and witness the progress of the kota bharu …Compare to kuala terengganu,just like “budu” and “mayonise” .Just to mention that KPI for economic (micro) for kelantan are numbers of SMI & supermarkets,amount of saving ( ASB & Tabung Haji)and assets such as buildings belong to malay bumis…You can see from the name of bulding..and the jewel & gold trade..So, oil and gas just a bonus for kelantan and not affected since the state willing to survive without stupid flip flop federal governent…living in kota bharu is better than kemaman in term of cost/food/ . The state government had pass her first test and succes…Managing the state without money from federal is a tought job..
so far there are no buldings collape within 1 year at kelantan except my “reban ayam” for SUKMA at Gong Badak,London..
