Thailand domestic natural gas production (2020-2024)
~2,520 MMscfd (2024)
Domestic natural gas production from the Gulf of Thailand declined from roughly 3,400 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) in 2020 to approximately 2,520 MMscfd in 2024 per the Department of Mineral Fuels (DMF) and PTTEP filings. The decline accelerated after the April 2022 Erawan operatorship transition, when output from the country's largest single field dropped from a contractual 1,200 MMscfd to roughly 200-400 MMscfd during a multi-year ramp recovery led by PTTEP. Bongkot, the second largest field operated by PTTEP, continued plateau production around 870-900 MMscfd. The widening domestic gas gap is structurally bullish for LNG imports.
