In 2Q/2011, crude oil price (Dubai) was 111 USD/barrel, up from 78 USD/barrel in the same period of last year due to an improving demand from global economic recovery. As a result, naphtha (MOPS) rose to 997 USD/ton or up 40% from the same period of last year. A rise in selling price of naphtha, a major feedstock for production, also pushed overall product prices to rise. In this quarter, Ethylene price was 1,683 USD/ton, HDPE was 1,389 USD/ton, LLDPE was 1,380 USD/ton, LDPE was 1,683 USD/ton, and MEG was 1,300 USD/ton, increased from the same period last year of 19%, 17%, 12%, 22%, and 26% respectively. In 2Q2011, the Companys sales volumes increased from higher production. This was due to a start up of commercial operation of 4 new plants: PTTPE cracker, HDPE units (Expansion of olefins plant l1 and BPE 2) and PTTPEs LDPE plant, which started commercial operation on December 1, 2010, January 1, 2011, and February 1, 2011 respectively. The Company reported earnings per share in the second quarter of 2011 of Baht 4.24, increasing 177% from the same period of last year due mainly to higher net profit.
