Total E&P Myanmar (TEPM) is the operator (31,2%) of the M5 and M6 blocks on the Yadana offshore gas field, on stream since 1998.
The production from M5 and M6 blocks currently supplies half of Myanmar’s gas consumption and around 12% of gas consumed by neighboring Thailand.
In 2017, TEPM has started up production from the Badamyar project, which enables an extension of the Yadana gas field’s production plateau beyond 2020.
