PTT President Prasert Bunsumpun said that oil prices remain volatile. Dubai crude oil on Wednesday was down to US$101.30 a barrel as Hurricane Gustav have missed oil production areas and refineries. Oil refineries would then resume operations late this week, while Nigeria could soon resume the crude oil exports. Refined diesel in Singapore accordingly dropped to $119.65 a barrel.
At PTT and Shell stations in Bangkok, diesel B5 would be Bt31.74 while diesel B2 would be Bt32.44.
