Thailand has a two-month oil reserve and the energy supply is unlikely to be affected by the latest Mideast conflict, says the Energy Ministry. (Photo: Somchai Poomlard)The Ministry of Energy said on Sunday that Thailand has a two-month oil reserve and it will search out alternative sources to ensure energy security if the Iran war escalates to other countries in the Mideast. This could meet demand in Thailand for an additional 23 days. If the Iran war was prolonged, or escalated, the Ministry of Energy would take action to stabilise energy reserves and prevent an oil shortage, he said. At present, 77,495 Thai workers are under the supervision of Thai labour offices in Tel Aviv, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, Labour Minister Treenuch Thienthong said.
