Regarding operations in Myanmar, Woodside said demobilisation of its offshore personnel is complete, including a team under contract from Transocean, following the completion of the recent drilling campaign.
“Until there is an improved, politically stable outlook for Myanmar, Woodside will keep all business decisions under review,” it said.
The company had in February said it is reducing its presence in Myanmar in response to human rights violations by the military, which carried out a coup on February 1.
Woodside does not have any producing assets in Myanmar. It plans to develop offshore Block A-6 which covers approximately 10,000 km2 in water depths of up to 2,400 m. The A-6 development concept includes the drilling of up to 10 deep-water wells.
