據原油新聞4月10日消息稱，PTT石油和天然氣勘探子公司PTT勘探與生產公司（PTTEP），PTT公司部門，已經向股東保證，將交通模式從燃油內燃機轉向電動汽車(EVs)的計劃不會影響其業務，因為這一變化符合公司生產更多天然氣的長期戰略。

PTTEP董事會主席Krairit Euchukanonchai在昨天的股東大會上表示，由于該公司決心將天然氣比例保持在高于原油的水平，原油產量將占到總石油產量的30%左右。

泰國有大約15年的時間轉向更清潔的能源，包括被認為比其他化石燃料更清潔的天然氣。

泰國電力公司首席執行長Phongsthorn Thavisin表示，泰國將需要更多的天然氣來發電，因為人們正在使用更多的電力設備，這將推高電力需求。

泰國電力行業目前依賴天然氣，占燃料的60%。

PTTEP未來5年的新石油生產項目主要包括液化天然氣生產和通過管道網絡的天然氣供應。

一些關鍵項目包括馬來西亞的H區塊，該區塊計劃于今年投產，產能為2.7億立方英尺/天。

泰國灣的Bongkot和Erawan天然氣區塊將于2023年在新的特許權下開始生產，總產能為10億立方英尺/天，到2025年將增加到15億立方英尺/天。

到2024年，越南西南部將新增4.9億立方英尺/天液化天然氣，莫桑比克海上Rovuma 1區的設施每年將生產1300萬噸液化天然氣。

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.
