據世界天然氣4月29日消息：泰國國營公司PTTEP表示，由于產品價格上漲，在截至3月31日的三個月中(第一季度)，該公司實現凈利潤3.76億美元，同比增長37%，

　　該公司的平均實現價格為40.38美元/桶，高于去年同期的36.85美元/桶。該公司還從收購阿曼61區塊項目中獲得3.5億美元的非經常性收益。三個月期間的平均銷售量為382877桶/天，高于363411桶/天。

　　該公司首席執行官Phongsthorn Thavisin表示:“由于全球油價的持續復蘇和幾項重大成就，我們已經看到第一季度業績逐步改善。”阿曼61區塊的收購和馬來西亞H區塊的第一個天然氣項目的完成速度快于預期。

　　PTTEP表示，它將致力于推動液化天然氣價值鏈，重點是上游和液化廠的投資，同時開發內部液化天然氣能力。在第一季度，該公司向泰國能源監管委員會提交了一份LNG托運人許可證申請。

　　“這將為泰國的液化天然氣自由化做好準備，并將我們的業務擴展到天然氣勘探和生產以外。該公司預計此申請將在第二季度末獲得批準。”

　　PTTEP'S PROFIT JUMPS 37% IN Q1

　　Thai state-run PTTEP booked a net profit of $376mn in the three months ending March 31 (Q1), up 37% year/year owing to higher product prices, it said on April 28.

　　The company's average realised price was $40.38/boe, up from $36.85/boe in the same quarter of last year. The company also recorded a gain from a non-recurring item of $350mn from the acquisition of the Oman Block 61 project. The average sales volume during the three-month period was at 382,877 boe/day, up from 363,411 boe/day.

　　“We’d seen a gradual improvement in our first quarter’s performance due to continued recovery of global oil price and several significant achievements,” CEO Phongsthorn Thavisin said. “The completion of the acquisition in Oman Block 61 and the first gas from Malaysia Block H project have been accomplished faster than expected.”

　　PTTEP said it is committed to driving the LNG value chain with a focus on investments in the upstream and liquefaction plants while developing in-house LNG capabilities. In Q1 it submitted a request for an LNG shipper licence to Thailand's Energy Regulatory Commission.

　　“This is to be ready for the LNG liberalisation in Thailand and expand our business beyond gas exploration and production. The approval is expected by the end of Q2,” it said.
