泰国PTT计划向天然气转型

据原油新闻4月10日消息称，PTT石油和天然气勘探子公司PTT勘探与生产公司（PTTEP），PTT公司部门，已经向股东保证，将交通模式从燃油内燃机转向电动汽车(EVs)的计划不会影响其业务，因为这一变化符合公司生产更多天然气的长期战略。

PTTEP董事会主席Krairit Euchukanonchai在昨天的股东大会上表示，由于该公司决心将天然气比例保持在高于原油的水平，原油产量将占到总石油产量的30%左右。

泰国有大约15年的时间转向更清洁的能源，包括被认为比其他化石燃料更清洁的天然气。

泰国电力公司首席执行长Phongsthorn Thavisin表示，泰国将需要更多的天然气来发电，因为人们正在使用更多的电力设备，这将推高电力需求。

泰国电力行业目前依赖天然气，占燃料的60%。

PTTEP未来5年的新石油生产项目主要包括液化天然气生产和通过管道网络的天然气供应。

一些关键项目包括马来西亚的H区块，该区块计划于今年投产，产能为2.7亿立方英尺/天。

泰国湾的Bongkot和Erawan天然气区块将于2023年在新的特许权下开始生产，总产能为10亿立方英尺/天，到2025年将增加到15亿立方英尺/天。

到2024年，越南西南部将新增4.9亿立方英尺/天液化天然气，莫桑比克海上Rovuma 1区的设施每年将生产1300万吨液化天然气。

PTT Reassures Shareholders on Plan to Shift to Natural Gas

PTT Exploration and Production Plc (PTTEP), the oil and gas drilling arm of PTT Plc, has assured its shareholders that plans to transform mobility modes from oil-powered internal combustion engines to electric vehicles (EVs) will not affect its business as the change matches the company's long-term strategy to produce more natural gas.

Crude oil will account for around 30% of total petroleum production as the company is determined to keep gas proportions at a higher level than crude oil, Krairit Euchukanonchai, chairman of PTTEP's board, said during a shareholders meeting yesterday.

Thailand has around 15 years to shift towards cleaner energy resources, including natural gas which is considered to be cleaner than other fossil fuels.

Phongsthorn Thavisin, the company's chief executive officer, said Thailand will need more gas for power generation because people are using more electrical equipment, driving up demand for electricity.

The Thai power industry currently depends on gas, which makes up 60% of fuels.

PTTEP's new petroleum production projects for the next five years consist mainly of liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and gas supply through a network of pipelines.

Some key projects are Malaysia's Block H which is scheduled to become operational this year, with a production capacity of 270 million cubic feet per day (MMSCFD).

Bongkot and Erawan gas blocks in the Gulf of Thailand, which will start production under renewed concessions in 2023, have a combined capacity of 1,000 MMSCFD and the volume will increase to 1,500 MMSCFD in 2025.

In 2024, an additional 490 MMSCFD will come from southwestern Vietnam and 13 million tonnes of LNG will be produced annually from a facility in Mozambique's offshore Rovuma Area 1.
