PTT has expressed its interest to develop a refining complex in Myanmar, said its executive.
Attapol Rerkpibool, in charge of
overseas business, said that PTT is among 7 companies, vying to develop
the large complex which is located near Yangon and a river.
Myanmar will officially launch an
auction, which may not be within this year as the country is now busy
hosting SEA Games, he said.
In the written interest to Myanmar, PTT
proposed to build a refinery with daily capacity of 50,000 barrels.
Aside from the refinery, the Thai oil and gas company also eyes to make
presence felt in the power generating and coal industries.
Attapol also confirmed that PTT’s first
fuel station in Myanmar would be open before December, ahead of the SEA
Games. In five years, it targets to open 60 stations.
To regionalise its brand, PTT will also expand the fuel station network in Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines, he added.
In Asean, about Bt2.4 billion investment budget is planned for the expansion (excluding Myanmar) during 2013-2017.
