Last week,Myanmar awarded 10 onshore oil and gas blocks in its biggest energy tender in years. The blocks were awarded mostly to Asian companies,including Malaysia’s Petronas,Thailand’s PTT Exploration and Production and Jubilant.
We had bid for two blocks. They have offered us one,but we are keen for both. We are still negotiating,Chief Financial Officer Vipul Agarwal said.
