Abstract:

Myanmar is one of the Southeast Asian countries with early oil and gas exploration since XII century and commercial production since XIX century. There are 17 sedimentary basins within the territory of Myanmar spreading widely from the North to the South with considerably high oil and gas potential both onshore and offshore. It is therefore becomes a key investment objective of PetroVietnam. This paper presents in brief preliminary results and remarks on the stratigraphy and tectonic evolution of X basin, one of the most oil and gas potential basins in Myanmar that consequently paves the way of E&P activities of PetroVietnam in this country
