BANGKOK, Dec 18 (Reuters) - PTT PCL (PTT.BK), Thailand's top energy firm, said on Friday that operations at the Yetagun gas field in Myanmar would be stopped for maintenance for 20 days from Dec. 22 as part its annual maintenance plan.

The shutdown would not affect Thailand's gas consumption or power production plans, the state-controlled energy firm said in a statement.

PTT Exploration and Production (PTTE.BK), a subsidiary of PTT, operates five blocks in Myanmar and is a minority partner in the Yetagun and Yadana gas developments.

Pipe plans: at Yadana

Thai producer PTT is set to shut in the Yadana gas field, in Burma, to two weeks next month so it can finish work on a gas pipeline and install equipment.

The shut in, which will start in late March, will see Burma's total gas output drop by about 1 billion cubic feet per day.
