At the offshore natural gas blocks M 5 and M 6, located off the coast of Mottama, Thailand’s state-owned oil and energy company, PTTEP International, will jointly conduct oil and natural gas exploration and drilling operations in collaboration with the Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE).

The drilling operations at the offshore natural gas Blocks M 5 and M 6 are scheduled to take place from 1 November this year until 30 March 2027. It is also reported that navigation warnings have been issued for vessels within a four-kilometre radius of the designated drilling areas and locations.

Furthermore, PTTEP is set to carry out the installation of four new platforms and underwater pipeline connection works at the offshore block M 9, also located off the Mottama coast.

PTTEP International Limited and the Ministry of Energy (MOE) will soon sign the necessary agreements to enable the implementation of new offshore projects. Meanwhile, PTTEP and the MOE will continue joint exploration and drilling operations for new wells within the Yadana and Zawtika project areas, where both parties are already collaborating.
