On 1 February, the Guardian reported that, in the 2 years since a junta launched a coup, some of the world’s biggest oil and gas service companies continued to make millions of dollars from operations that have helped prop up the military regime. Leaked Myanmar tax records and other reports appear to show that US, UK and Irish oil and gas field contractors – which provide essential drilling and other services to Myanmar’s gas field operators – have continued to make millions in profit in the country after the coup. EU sanctions prohibit European companies from working on Myanmar’s oil and gas field projects, but the US and UK have not yet introduced similar measures and such work is not prohibited.
