Thailand Lpg Gas Imports Rise
The Energy Ministry in Thailand has said that lp gas imports in 2010 could rise to more than one million tonnes, 33 per cent up on 2009 imports. Demand for lpg could average as much as 500,000 tonnes a month in 2010, up from 400,000 tonnes last year.
Thailand’s lpg production capacity was 350,000 tonnes less than consumption in the country last year. PTT Plc, Thailand’s sole lpg importer, is projecting imports of up to 350,000 tonnes before the end of March. The country became a net importer of lpg two years ago.
PTT has been asked to delay the annual maintenance shutdown of its oil refineries and gas separation plants in order to secure lpg output for the year. Work on PTT’s sixth gas separation plant, scheduled to open in 2010 with a capacity of 700,000 tonnes per year, was suspended by court order.
