State-owned Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE) has invited foreign companies to submit expressions of interest (EOI) in drilling, pipeline construction, maintenance and exploration of offshore oil blocks.

The Government of Myanmar has said that it plans to make MOGE a state- owned corporation, in order to improve its performance as well as separate its business activities from its role as a regulator of the country’s oil and gas industry.“This is the beginning of the corporatisation process for MOGE,” said U Than Min, a MOGE director.
