Amid the continuing unrest in the Middle East affecting several regions, PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP) stated that it is closely monitoring the situation while placing the safety of its employees as the top priority. The company has evacuated staff from high-risk locations in line with its internal security protocols and guidance from Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand.
