May 2 (LNGJ) - French energy company Total has started production from the Badamyar natural gas project in the South-East Asian nation of Myanmar. It is located 220 kilometres offshore from the port of Yangon and will enable an extension of the Yadana gas field and its 8 billion cubic metres per year production plateau beyond 2020. “Completed on schedule and with costs 20 percent below budget, this second start-up by Total in 2017 demonstrates our capacity to effectively implement cost reduction programs,” said Arnaud Breuillac, President and Exploration and Production at Total. “This project underscores Total’s commitment to develop gas projects to provide Myanmar and Thailand with affordable, reliable and clean energy to support economic growth over the coming years,” added Breuillac.
