JAKARTA: State gas distributor PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN)
has awarded contracts amounting to some US$132.4 million to three
companies to provide goods and services for the pipeline
connecting gas-rich South Sumatra to West Java, enabling the
project to start construction in November.

PGN will buy coated pipes from PT KHI Pipe Industries, a
subsidiary of state steel producer PT Krakatau Steel, for a
38.88-kilometer pipe segment connecting Muara Baju and Rawamaju,
the company said in an emailed statement on Thursday.

The contract is worth $15 million and Rp 29 billion (US$2.79
million).

Indian giant Welspun Gujarat Stahl Rohren Ltd. will supply
pipes for the 199.5-kilometer segment connecting Grissik and
Pagardewa in a contract worth $92 million and Rp 195 billion,
while PT Multi Superindo Manunggal will provide 50 units of fully
welded ball valve.

The pipeline is expected to be completed by October next year.
