Summary · why it matters

PTT Group is holding an exhibition at Gastech 2026 as a co-host of the event, which runs from September 14 to 17, 2026, at the BITEC Exhibition and Convention Center in Bangkok. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, along with Energy Minister Ekkanat Promphan and executives from government agencies, witnessed the exhibition's opening ceremony. Dr. Kongkrapan Intarajang, Chief Executive Officer and President of PTT Public Company Limited, said that PTT places importance on the country's energy security alongside business growth, under the principle of a three-dimensional energy balance, with natural gas and LNG serving as destination fuels that will play a role in the long-term energy system. PTT Group operates more than 4,500 kilometers of onshore and offshore natural gas pipelines, connected to two LNG terminals with the capacity to import, store, and regasify up to 19 million tons of LNG per year, and has more than six international trading offices covering a trade network spanning over 80 countries. It aims to expand its LNG portfolio volume to 3.7 million tons in 2026, 10 million tons in 2030, and 15 million tons by 2035, in addition to procuring LNG through long-term contracts to meet domestic demand totaling 6.2 million tons per year. Meanwhile, Thailand's first CCS project at the Arthit natural gas field can capture and reinject up to 1 million tons of carbon dioxide per year, for which PTT Exploration and Production announced a final investment decision in 2025.

Cheniere Energy Swings to Quarterly Loss on US$4.8b LNG Derivative Hit

Cheniere Energy reported a quarterly loss driven primarily by negative movements in LNG-linked derivative contract values, a US$4.8b swing that management attributed to heightened geopolitical risks and sharp swings in global gas prices during the quarter. The loss tied to LNG contract derivatives comes as global gas markets experience pronounced price volatility, and it highlights how tightly the US liquefied natural gas export infrastructure operator's business is tied to geopolitical shocks and price swings even with a long term contract base. The result reinforces a core risk around exposure to LNG market swings and the possibility that future oversupply or contract renegotiation could pressure earnings and cash flows, in contrast to the focus on expansion capacity and long duration supply agreements as supports for more predictable results. A reference point to watch is how reported earnings and cash flow evolve through the remaining Durasorb LNG MAX rollout at Corpus Christi and the ramp of Corpus Christi Stage 3 through the planned 2027 completion, which will show whether the recent derivatives volatility is an outlier or a recurring feature of Cheniere's results.

TotalEnergies Signs $1.8 Billion African Infrastructure Deal With BlackRock's GIP

TotalEnergies has agreed a $1.8 billion infrastructure partnership with Global Infrastructure Partners, a BlackRock unit, focused on African oil and gas assets. The transaction centers on midstream infrastructure and gives TotalEnergies additional access to capital tied to its African energy projects. Under the arrangement, management is effectively swapping full ownership of some African midstream assets for upfront cash and a throughput-based payment obligation over up to 15 years, bringing in US$1.8 billion without issuing equity while keeping operational control of the wider projects. Management presented the deal as a way to crystallize value in existing assets while refining how future projects are funded and managed, with the proceeds potentially directed toward LNG, power and exploration priorities. The key test for investors will be how quickly TotalEnergies discloses where the US$1.8 billion is going, including capex allocations to Angolan blocks, LNG projects or the Mistral AI program over the next 12 to 24 months.

Exxon Raises 2050 Emissions Forecast, Warns Coal Use Will Overshoot Climate Targets

ExxonMobil said in its annual Energy Outlook published this week that the world is on course to fail in its efforts to reduce carbon emissions by 2050, largely because of the persistent use of coal. The report estimates coal will account for 15% of the world's energy mix by 2050, down from 25% in 2025 but up by one percentage point from Exxon's previous projection, because coal is still a significant energy source in China and other Asian countries, where it is viewed as vital for energy security. Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are projected at 30B metric tons by 2050, about 10% higher than expected a year ago and nearly triple the levels that a United Nations body determined would be needed to limit global warming to 2°C, or 3.6°F, above pre-industrial norms. Exxon Economic and Energy Director Prasanna Joshi said that pace implies the world is on track for a 2.5°C-3.5°C temperature increase by 2050, and the forecast also lowered its global estimate for the amount of carbon that will be captured and stored underground to about 2B metric tons by 2050 from its prior estimate of 3.1B metric tons, because of affordability and the lack of willingness to pay. Global oil consumption will reach 105M bbl/day in 2050, up from 100M bbl/day last year, and global electricity demand is expected to grow 65% by 2050 from 2025, largely in line with Exxon's previous projections.
