GULF Expands LNG Operations with PetroChina Partnership
Thai energy firm GULF has signed a deal to supply 300,000 tons of LNG to PetroChina by 2027, marking a significant step in its international trading strategy.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, Gulf Development Public Company Limited (GULF) has entered into a strategic agreement with PetroChina International (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (PCSG). The deal, facilitated through GULF’s Singapore-based subsidiary, Gulf LNG International (GLNGI), involves the supply of approximately 300,000 tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the Chinese energy giant by 2027. Disathat Panyarachun, CEO of Gulf Resources, stated that this partnership is designed to strengthen GULF’s energy portfolio and establish a more robust presence in the global LNG trading market. For residents and travelers in Thailand, this development highlights the growing international footprint of major Thai energy corporations. While the agreement signals a long-term commitment to expanding GULF’s supply chain capabilities, it remains to be seen how this international trading expansion will influence domestic energy pricing or supply stability in the long run.
