The Indo-South Korean Shwe Gas consortium is currently in a process
of surveying the offshore A-1 and A-3 blocks for a final production
phase. Unless the project can be stopped now, the construction of
platforms, pipelines and a possible Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant
near Kyauk Phyu is likely to start in 2008.
