SHAH ALAM: PETRONAS has found some other parts of its long gas pipeline system that may be facing the same problem which had caused the Putra Heights underground pipeline to blow up.

Occupational Safety and Health Department (DOSH) Petroleum Safety Division director Husdin Che Amat said PETRONAS has been given instructions on the measures to be pursued following the discovery of the other possibly affected pipeline network.

“We have given the directive following Petronas identifying the locations similar to the Putra Heights location,” Husdin said during a press conference at the state secretariat on Monday (June 30).

Although he did not specify the exact location of the pipelines that were identified as maybe having problems, Husdin said it was part of the 2,680km pipeline running from Kerteh to Segamat up to the border with Singapore, as well as from Pengerang to Segamat and right up to the border with Thailand.

He said discussions have been held with the oil and gas giant to explore long and short-term measures that can be initiated to remedy the matter.
