Mr. Montri Rawanchaikul, Chief Executive Officer, PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP), said the company has notified the joint venture partners in the Yetagun project and Taninthayi Pipeline Company LLC (TPC), a gas transportation company delivering gas from the Yetagun project to Thailand, on its decision to withdraw as the partner from both entities. PTTEP’s shares of 19.31% will be allocated proportionately to the remaining shareholders with no commercial value and will be effective upon regulatory approval.

The withdrawal is part of the company’s portfolio management to refocus on projects that support the energy security for the country.
