Woodside Petroleum has joined to new politicised trend for energy companies to make political investment decisions after several years of intimidation by banks and environmental activists on climate change by shutting down a natural gas project in Myanmar citing reasons of human rights.

Woodside, the Australian energy company and LNG plant operator, said that its A-6 Development offshore Myanmar in southeast Asia has now moved from exploration and appraisal to the pre-front-end engineering design phase.
