BANGKOK -- Thai state energy group PTT has promoted Auttapol Rerkpiboon to president and CEO, a position in which he will need to secure more natural gas imports to satisfy the nation's appetite.
Auttapol, now the chief operating officer for the companies refining a sales business, beat out five other candidates within the group. He will succeed Chansin Treenuchagron, who is to retire in May. PTT's board approved the decision on Dec. 19.
