New Myanmar well to produce 3.2 million cubic feet of natural gas

Yangon - A recently spudded well in Myanmar's Ayeyawady division is expected to produce 3.2 million cubic feet per day of natural gas, media reports said Wednesday. Myanmar Minister for Energy Brigadier General Lun Thi visited onshore gas field in Maubin, Ayeyawady division, about 60 kilometres west of Yangon, said The New Light of Myanmar, a government mouthpiece. Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise officials said the first successful well showed a potential to produce 3.2 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The Ayeyawady division has coastlines with the Bay of Bengal on its west and the Andaman Sea to the south. Vast reserves of natural gas have been found in fields offshore from the Ayeyawady but thus far few reserves have been discovered onshore. Myanmar is already a major exporter of natural gas to neighbouring Thailand. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
