PTT Public Company LimitedPotential JV with ADNOC could enhance PTT's refining business and secure crude supply.
It has been reported that Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is in negotiations to acquire a stake in a refinery operated by companies in the PTT Group, according to The Edge Singapore, and the deal could be announced within this year. In addition to the share purchase, the discussed deal may include crude oil supply contracts to the refinery and allow ADNOC access to petroleum products for resale. Thai refineries that can handle heavy crude oil may be suitable for oil from Abu Dhabi, while ADNOC aims to expand its overseas refining business to secure markets for its crude and diversify risks from the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts from Krungsri Securities Public Company Limited view that the market may give a positive weight to energy stocks, especially refineries such as TOP, PTT, and PTTGC. However, negotiations are still ongoing, and both ADNOC and PTT have not yet commented.
