First I heard about this “Perlis Petroleum”. Must be the papers that I read.
Perhaps it’s natural gas not petroleum crude oil.

- Oil&Gas Journal – published by PennWell, says “Petroleum Authority of Thailand (PTT) and Petronas reached agreement for a pipeline to transport gas from JDA fields to a terminal in Songkhla province, southern Thailand, and over land to the northern Malaysian state of Perlis. Other Block A-18 gas finds included Bumi, Bulan, Suriya, Senia, Samudra, and Wira.”

So, there is only natural gas but no petroleum being pumped out from Mas – Thai JDA ?
I’ve no inside information on this, Shin. But my googling only gets me “natural gas” from JDA to Perlis. Didn’t find any “crude oil”.
