The average crude intake was 194,000 barrels per day dropping by 2%. The Market GIM decreased by Baht 8,394 million or by 67%, mainly from the significant decrease in petroleum products spreads while a decline in the cost of crude premium.

Furthermore, the company recorded an unrealized loss on oil hedging that decreased by Baht 500 million or by 91%, while a gain on investment dropped by Baht 65 million or by 36%. Offsetting with a corporate income tax benefit of Baht 580 million.
The Market Gross Integrated Margin (Market GIM) in 2Q23 was Baht 4,168 million or USD 6.81 per barrel moving down by Baht 2,916 million or USD 4.99 per barrel from that in the prior quarter. By comparing with 2Q22 of Baht 12,562 million or USD 20.15 per barrel, the Market GIM shrank by Baht 8,394 million or USD 13.34 per barrel, mainly owing to drastically dropped spreads of petroleum products, especially those of Diesel spread and Gasoline spread. This was because petroleum products spreads in 2Q22 were uncommonly high due to energy sanctions on Russia tightening the supply. Nevertheless, in 2Q23, the supply from China and Russia entered the market more than in 2Q22, hence pressured petroleum products prices, despite significantly lower cost of crude premium.
