M9 Block is in the Gulf of Mataban in the Union of Myanmar about 300 kilometres south of Yangon. PTTEP has held production sharing contract with the Government of Myanmar since 2003 and has 100% interest in M7 and M9 Blocks. The block has total estimated gas reserve of more than 8 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or 226.5 billion cubic metres (bcm) and a production rate of about 300 million cubic feet (mmcf) or 8.49 million cubic metres (mmcm) per day. The project will include a main central processing platform (CPP) and bridge-linked living quarters, three wellhead platform, a main 260 km export pipeline plus inter-platform flowlines and 63 km 28 inch onshore pipeline to be connected to a metering station. There will also be an onshore gas terminal and associated facilities as part of the project. The CPP is expected to have a deck weighing 18,000 tonnes, and a large eight-legged jacket with weight of around 20,000 tonnes including piles.
