The first lot of 60,000 tonnes imports of LNG from Qatar was delivered late last month. LNG Terminal is under the case of subsidiary PTT LNG Co Ltd. The test run is expected to be finished and the commercial operations is expected in July.
The import of LNG is aimed to ensure sufficient supply of natural gas, as demand has expanded every year.
Natural gas demand has risen about 6-7 per cent per annum, said PTT President Prasert Bunsumpun. PTT has secured the short-term supply of 1 million tonnes of LNG from sellers in Europe, South America and Asia.
The LNG Receiving Terminal, located on 755-rai area, is capable of accommodating 5 million tonnes in the first phase. The terminal is planned to be a regional LNG trade centre.
