(Photo: Department of Mineral Fuels)PTT Exploration and Production Plc (PTTEP) wants energy authorities to prevent any obstacles to continuing gas production in the Gulf of Thailand when a concession at the Pailin gas block ends in 2028. In 2018, gas production at Erawan averaged 1,280 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD). The company managed to increase gas production to 400 MMSCFD in April, up from 200 MMSCFD earlier this year. Pailin is currently co-operated by PTTEP, which made a 60% investment in the gas production, and Chevron Thailand, with a 40% investment.
