Natural gas production from the Gulf of Thailand began in late 1981. A gas separation plant was established in late 1984 to separate the natural gas into its methane, ethane, propane, LPG, and natural gasoline components. The potential demand and supply of natural gas in terms of these components is analyzed and the demand - supply situation identified. Possibilities of long- term demand management for natural gas, based on its derived components, are discussed. It was found that LPG extraction from natural gas should be encouraged to alleviate the cost of imported LPG. More utilization of gas derived methane stream as fuel is required by industry. Finally , widespread gas exploration should be carried out to alter the decreasing trend of gas supply expected in the late 1990 ' s.
