Following the offshore weather report regarding the tropical storm "PABUK" entering the Gulf of Thailand, PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP) has established a 24-hour monitoring team to closely monitor the situation for the safety of offshore operations in the Gulf of Thailand. As the production platforms of Bongkot project are located in the direct path of the tropical storm, posing concerns on the safety of all staff and operations, the company has temporarily shutdown operations of the project and evacuate all staff back ashore at Songkhla province. However, production from Arthit project continues under the company's safety measures in order to minimize impacts on the natural gas supply to the country.
