Sumario:The Thailand Integrated Energy Blueprint (TIEB), launched in 2014, has been updated to TIEB 2018 and approved by the Thailand’s cabinet in October 2020. The Thailand’s Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) in 2019 was 140,027 ktoe. One-third of the TPES is natural gas, which is expected to increase around 2% annually. The proportion of natural gas used for power generation will reach 53% and the total consumption will meet 5,348 MMSCFD in 2037. For the aforementioned reasons, it is the best to focus on the whole supply chain of the natural gas. The key factor to sustain the energy sector in Thailand according to the TIEB is the energy data standard which shows the value chain of all energy sources in the form of energy balance. Nonetheless, there are the complications of the classification, definitions, and processes. Therefore, international standards and manual shall be applied to ease these complications. Two new terms, Feed Gas and Sale Gas, are created and used to clarify the uniqueness of the Thailand’s natural gas flow. This flow is one of the most complete versions illustrating the whole supply chain of natural gas in Thailand from the domestic supply to the total demand and to the final consumption.
