Chevron (CVX) Sells Yadana's 41.1% Gas Stake to MTI in Myanmar
Read MoreHide Full Article
Chevron Corporation (CVX), an American multinational energy corporation, has recently agreed to sell its 41.1% stake in Myanmar’s Yadana gas field to Canada's MTI Energy through its subsidiary, Et Martem Holdings, according to Argus Media report. As stated by a Chevron spokesperson, the deal's value and terms are both confidential.
The Yadana gas field is the largest in Myanmar and a significant source of foreign revenue for the country. It produces 770 million cubic feet of gas per day, of which 70% is exported to Thailand and 30% is used domestically.
Justice for Myanmar, a human-rights group, has called for Canadian and UK sanctions on Myanmar Oil & Gas Enterprise ("MOGE"), which owns a 15% stake in Yadana, following the sale. The group has accused MOGE of being the financial backer of the military junta in Myanmar and bankrolling its ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The sale of Chevron's stake in Yadana came after TotalEnergies, a French supermajor, withdrew from Myanmar in July 2022, leaving Chevron with a larger stake of 41.1%. Chevron's equity in the gas field increased after TotalEnergies' withdrawal, as its stake was absorbed by the remaining partners, including PTTEP of Thailand and MOGE.
Chevron had always planned to sell its share in Yadana, as it believed that simply walking away from the project would have resulted in MOGE having an even larger stake and greater influence over management of the offshore gas field.
