美国超级巨头雪佛龙公司 (Chevron) 承诺在 2021 年军事政变后离开缅甸，并将其在一个天然气田和相关管道的股份转让给其前合资伙伴，从而退出了在缅甸的业务。

雪佛龙发言人告诉路透社，“继 2021 年 2 月政变和持续的人道主义危机之后，撤军体现了我们以可控和有序的方式退出缅甸的意图。” 

雪佛龙承诺于 2022 年退出缅甸。 2023年2月，这家美国石油和天然气巨头表示已同意出售其在那里的资产。国际社会对缅甸和现任军政府实施制裁。

但现在雪佛龙已将其在亚达纳气田的股份移交给剩余股东，即泰国PTT勘探与生产公司（PTTEP）和国有的缅甸石油天然气企业（MOGE）。

截至 2021 年，雪佛龙的附属公司优尼科缅甸离岸有限公司 (UMOCL) 在一份生产分成合同 (PSC) 中拥有 28.3% 的所有权 权益，该合同用于从 Yadana、Badamyar 和 Sein 油田生产天然气。安达曼海 M5 和 M6 区块内。雪佛龙的子公司还拥有出口天然气管道公司 28.3% 的所有权权益，该公司被称为

莫阿塔马天然气运输公司 (MGTC)。

法国超级巨头 TotalEnergies 也持有这些油田的股份，并 于 2022 年 7 月最终退出 Yadana 油田和缅甸天然气运输公司 MGTC，不再担任股东和运营商。

“在缅甸人权状况持续恶化的背景下，这一决定是基于评估TotalEnergies已无法再为该国做出足够积极的贡献，也无法满足利益相关者的期望。这家法国公司当时表示，目的是阻止亚达纳油田生产的收入通过国有公司 MOGE 流向缅甸政府。

雪佛龙本周表示，该公司已“根据国际法和贸易制裁，以负责任、有序和安全的方式从缅甸撤出”。

U.S. supermajor Chevron has quit operations in Myanmar by transferring its stake in a natural gas field and an associated pipeline to its former partners in the ventures, after pledging to leave the Southeast Asian country following a military coup in 2021.

“The withdrawal gives effect to our intention to exit Myanmar in a controlled and orderly manner, following the February 2021 coup, and ongoing humanitarian crisis,” a spokesperson for Chevron has told Reuters.

Chevron pledged in 2022 to exit Myanmar. In February 2023, the U.S. oil and gas giant said it had agreed to sell its assets there. The international community has imposed sanctions on Myanmar and the junta currently in power.

But now Chevron has handed over its stake in the Yadana gas field to the remaining shareholders, Thailand’s PTT Exploration and Production (PTTEP) and state-owned Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE).

As of 2021, Chevron’s affiliate, Unocal Myanmar Offshore Co. Ltd. (UMOCL), had a 28.3% ownership interest in a production sharing contract (PSC) for the production of natural gas from the Yadana, Badamyar, and Sein fields, within Blocks M5 and M6, in the Andaman Sea. Chevron’s unit also had a 28.3% ownership interest in the export gas pipeline company, known as

Moattama Gas Transportation Company (MGTC).

French supermajor TotalEnergies also had a stake in these fields and definitively withdrew in July 2022 from the Yadana field and from gas transportation company MGTC in Myanmar, both as shareholder and as operator.

“In a context of continuing deterioration of the human rights situation in Myanmar, this decision resulted from the assessment that TotalEnergies was no longer able to make a sufficiently positive contribution in the country, and was not able to meet the expectations of stakeholders who were asking to stop the revenues going to the Burmese state through the state-owned company MOGE from the Yadana field production,” the French company said at the time.

Chevron said this week it had conducted its “exit from Myanmar in a responsible, orderly and safe manner, in accordance with international law and trade sanctions.”
