| Abstract | Natural gas production from the Gulf of Thailand began
in late 1981. A gas separation plant was established in late
1984 to separate the natural gas into its methane, ethane,
propane, LPG, and natural gasoline components. The potential
demand and supply of natural gas in terms of these
components is analyzed and the demand - supply situation
identified. Possibilities of long- term demand management for
natural gas, based on its derived components, are
discussed.
It was found that LPG extraction from natural gas
should be encouraged to alleviate the cost of imported LPG.
More utilization of gas derived methane stream as fuel is
required by industry. Finally , widespread gas exploration
should be carried out to alter the decreasing trend of gas
supply expected in the late 1990 ' s. |
