Energy sector marked for fast advancement
Myanmar has in possession, 7.8 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves, an estimated US$75 billion bounty of natural gas(1), and 50 million barrels of crude oil(2).

These include the Yadana and Yetagun Projects - two major offshore oil and gas projects; and the Zawtika and Shwe Gas Projects which when fully operational in the near future, will see oil and gas being exported mainly to Thailand and China.
Out of the 101 blocks available to foreign cooperation, 30 offshore blocks were offered for exploration activities in 2013. The country has begun its shortlist of bidders(4) comprising CNPC, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Shell, Statoil, Total, and companies from Australia, India and Thailand.
