PTTEP to operate Myanmar gas field after TotalEnergies exit

Марта 16, 2022

Oil and gas giant PTT Exploration and Production Pcl has said it would take over operations of the Yadana gas field in Myanmar from July following the exit of France's TotalEnergies.

Oil majors Chevron and TotalEnergies in January withdrew from Myanmar, citing worsening humanitarian conditions following last year's coup. 
 
PTTEP said in a statement that it "recognizes that equitable access to energy is a fundamental human right that all people are entitled to".
 
PTTEP, a unit of state-owned energy firm PTT Pcl, said it places importance in "preventing disruption to energy demand," describing Yadana as a "pivotal source of natural gas supply to the livelihood of the people in both Myanmar and Thailand."
 
TotalEnergies currently holds a 31% stake in the field.
 
The transition will conclude on July 20, after which PTTEP said it would hold a 37.1% stake, state-run Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise with 21.8% while a subsidiary of Chevron will hold 41.1%.
 
PTTEP said Yadana produces about 770 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) where 220 mmscfd accounts for 50% of Myanmar's gas demand for electricity generation.
 
The remaining 550 mmscfd is exported to Thailand and supplies 12 power plants, accounting for about 11% of the country's gas demand.
