Myanma Oil and Gas EnterpriseThe Republic of the Union of Myanmar

Myanmar in Brief• Myanmar is the second largest
nation in South‐East Asia
• Total area is 676,577 squarekilometers• Coastal strip is 2832 kilometers• Population is about 60 million

Energy policy drawing and way forward to draw
energy policy henceforth
Energy policy drawing is prioritized by the Ministry of Energy these days. We had
4 facts of energy policy already laid down previously as followed:To maintain the status of energy independence,
To save nonrenewable energy for future energy sufficiency of our nation.
To promote efficient utilization of energy and impress on energy conservation
andTo prevent deforestation caused by excessive use of fuel wood and charcoal

Nowadays, those policy matters are less relevant to current
energy industry situation, hence we draw the newly laid
down policy by 7 facts as follows:To fulfill Domestic Energy Requirement as Priority
To implement the Status of Sustainable Energy
Development
To promote wider use of new and renewable sourcesof energy
To promote energy efficiency and conservation
To promote use of alternative fuels in household
To implement effective utilization of discovered
crude oil and natural gas resources in the Interest of theEntire Nation including the Regions where the discovery
was made.
To promote more private participation in energy
sector.
Actually, the Energy Policy making is still in contemplation
for revision to match for more competence.

Therefore, now we are formulating new and concrete energy policy tocover all energy sector in Myanmar.
Energy saving, giving prior to domestic supply and supporting
electrification to whole country are our dreams.
My opinion is that our new energy policy should include these facts andalso(1)
Energy security policy.
(2)
Alternative energy policy.
(3)
Stable energy prices policy.
(4)
Energy conversation and efficiency policy.
(5)
environment protection policy.
(6)
Investment Policy.
(7)
Energy Sector Management Policy
Should be included.

Gas Production History of Myannmar

Supply and DemandSupply Status

I

ELECTRIC SECTOR
 Currently 160 MMCFD out of 265 MMCFD for
Domestic is used for electricity Sector.
 In Coming 2 month, Electrification sector needs(260 MMCF) per day Todays and in this fiscal year MOGE can supply(160 MMCF) per day Next year Electric sector will need 652 MMCFD but
MOGE can supply only 305 MMCFD which is lessthan half of demand (one of our challenges)

II

INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
 105 MMCFD out of 265 MMCFD is for Industries
presently.
 In coming year, industrial sector will need triple
the amount, is over 310 MMCFD.
 According to MOGE’s planned schedule, wecan supply 210 next year which is 2/3 of thedemand.

CNG / NGV Converting Programme

Initiated in Myanmar since 1985.

1985 – August 2004 :- 5 CNG Filling Stations ;- 2 in Yangon City- 2 in Yenangyaung Field- 1 in Chauk Field- 587 NGVs (Converted from petrol buses)

CNG / NGV Programme was reactivatedin August 2004 and Widely used in 2005.

As at 2012 :- 45 CNG Filling Stations were constructed- 40 in Yangon City(40)- 2 in Mandalay City- 2 in Yenangyaung Oil Field- 1 in Chauk Oil Field
Currently, more than 27600 passenger
cars were converted to NGVs
The project is still continuing with highmomentum

National Energy ManagementCommittee
 To meet the requirements as mentioned andto fulfill the people’s needs as well as tosystematically manage the linkages of energy
and electric sectors,
National Energy Management Committee
andEnergy Development Committee
are formed on 9 January,2013
by Notification No. (12/2013).
