PTTEP’s oil production process involves several steps that require advanced engineering technology. One crucial step is burning excessive natural gas to achieve complete combustion, according to the international standard for petroleum exploration and production. PTTEP launched an in-depth study on this and found that the excessive natural gas can be used for the benefit of community rather than useless burning. As such the natural gas is sold to the community at 50 percent of market price. This project helps to reduce GHG emissions by more than 5,000 tonnes annually.
