BG Group to Hunt for Gas Offshore Myanmar

BG Group on Wednesday announced it has been awarded new gas exploration rights offshore Myanmar.

The company will operate two blocks, A4 and AD2 (45% and 55% equity respectively) and has also secured non-operated acreage in blocks A7 and AD5 (45% equity in each).

These are located in the Rakhine Basin, in the western offshore area of Myanmar and were awarded as part of the government's 2013 Offshore Bid Round.

BG Group and its bidding partners have committed to a 3D seismic acquisition programme in each block, which we expect to begin in 2014-15 with options for future drilling.
