# Thailand Oil and Gas Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Value Chain Stage, Energy Source & End User, 2025-2032 --- ## Market Overview # CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview The Thailand Oil and Gas Market operates through an integrated demand chain spanning offshore and onshore production, gas separation and transmission, LNG imports, crude refining and petroleum distribution. Commercial primary energy consumption reached **2,046 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2024**, while petroleum-product consumption averaged **140.6 million litres per day**. This scale sustains recurring demand for upstream investment, gas infrastructure and refining services. The Gulf of Thailand is the market's dominant production cluster because it contains the country's principal producing gas fields and established offshore infrastructure. In 2025, assets operated by the national upstream champion accounted for approximately **82% of natural gas produced in Thailand**, with major supply coming from Erawan, Bongkot and Arthit. Concentrated offshore production lowers network duplication but increases dependence on mature-field redevelopment and continuous drilling. Government policy continues to prioritize reserve replacement and domestic supply security. Thailand's 25th petroleum bidding round opened **nine onshore exploration blocks covering 33,444.64 square kilometres in 2025**, with bidders required to demonstrate financial strength, exploration capability and minimum work commitments. The policy improves acreage availability for investors while preserving regulatory control over resource development and performance obligations. Thailand remains structurally exposed to imported energy despite its established hydrocarbon industry. Domestic petroleum resources supplied only about **28% of national daily consumption in 2023**, leaving roughly 72% dependent on external supply. Simultaneously, cumulative battery-electric vehicle registrations reached **227,490 units by December 2024**, increasing long-term pressure on transport-fuel demand while strengthening the strategic case for natural gas, LNG flexibility and higher-value downstream products. ## KPIs at a Glance * Market Value: USD 4,500 million (2025) * Dominant Region: Gulf of Thailand * Dominant Segment: Upstream Exploration and Production (fastest growing) * Total Number of Players: 35 ## Future Outlook The Thailand Oil and Gas Market is projected to expand from USD 4,500 million in 2025 to USD 6,507 million by 2032, representing a forecast CAGR of 5.41%. The model implies a 2031 market size of USD 6,173 million.

The 25th bidding round released nine onshore blocks covering 33,444.64 square kilometres, and individual offshore redevelopment projects can achieve attractive economics by reusing existing infrastructure. CCS also creates an adjacent technical-services opportunity around producing gas fields without expanding the report's core hydrocarbon market boundary. **Data used:** 9 exploration blocks (2025); 33,444.64 sq km offered acreage (2025) **So what:** Capital should favor technically advantaged brownfield and infrastructure platforms with existing operating footprints. #### Q: What is the biggest structural risk facing the Thailand Oil and Gas Market? **A:** Import dependence is the most significant structural risk. Thailand's domestic petroleum resources covered only about 28% of total daily consumption in 2023, while 2024 oil consumption exceeded domestic liquids production by approximately 979 thousand barrels per day. This exposes refiners, utilities and distributors to global crude and LNG prices, shipping costs, foreign-exchange movements and geopolitical disruptions. Mature domestic reserves further increase the importance of reliable international supply chains. Policy therefore emphasizes reserve replacement, diversified gas procurement, infrastructure access and reduction of avoidable LNG exposure rather than complete hydrocarbon self-sufficiency. **Data used:** 28% domestic supply coverage (2023); 979 kb/d oil deficit (2024) **So what:** Procurement diversification and domestic-resource development should remain central to corporate risk management. #### Q: How does Thailand compare with other Southeast Asian oil and gas markets? **A:** Thailand ranks third among the five selected peer markets by 2025 activity-revenue size, behind Indonesia and Malaysia but ahead of Vietnam and the Philippines. Thailand combines a larger oil-demand base than Malaysia or Vietnam with mature offshore gas infrastructure, substantial refining assets and nationwide fuel distribution. Its 5.41% forecast CAGR is broadly aligned with Malaysia and above the published outlook rates used for Indonesia and Vietnam. This profile positions Thailand as a mature, infrastructure-rich market offering steadier investment opportunities than frontier exploration markets but lower absolute scale than Indonesia and Malaysia. **Data used:** 3rd peer ranking (2025); 5.41% Thailand CAGR (2025-2032) **So what:** Regional investors can use Thailand as a relatively stable operating platform for Southeast Asian energy portfolios. #### Q: What demand factors will support oil and gas activity through the forecast period? **A:** Natural-gas-fired electricity, aviation, industrial energy use and a large petroleum-distribution system remain the principal demand supports. Natural gas accounted for roughly 58% of electricity generation in 2024, reinforcing the need for domestic offshore supply and LNG balancing. Thailand also received 35.55 million foreign tourists in 2024, supporting aviation-fuel recovery, with jet-fuel consumption rising 18.7% to 16.2 million litres per day. Transport electrification will progressively moderate passenger-road-fuel growth, but heavy transport, aviation, industrial demand and gas-fired power provide durable medium-term hydrocarbon demand. **Data used:** 58% gas share of electricity generation (2024); 16.2 million litres/day jet-fuel consumption (2024) **So what:** Operators should rebalance portfolios toward gas, aviation, industrial and infrastructure-linked demand pools. --- ## Table of Contents # Table of Contents ### Market Report Structure Comprehensive coverage across three strategic phases — Market Assessment, Go-To-Market Strategy, and Survey — delivering end-to-end insights from market analysis and execution roadmap to customer demand validation. ## Market Assessment Phase Supply-side and competitive intelligence covering market sizing, segmentation, competitive dynamics, regulatory landscape, and future forecasts. ### 1.
