“PTTEP Ocean Data Platform” for the sustainability of Thailand’s seas
Published on 03/12/2024
» One of the main challenges in ocean conservation today is the limitation and difficulty in accessing marine science data, particularly the data collected from offshore areas. PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP), with the majority of its operations offshore, considers the oceans as our second home, which we strive to nurture and protect. Our initiative, the PTTEP Ocean Data Platform (https://oceandata.pttep.com), has been developed to enhance the ocean science data of the Gulf of Thailand, bolstering ocean sustainability. The initiative supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 14: Life Below Water) as well as Thailand’s and PTTEP’s goals.
