KMDC acquired operator status (with many rights such as exploration, drilling, logistics, customs, funds, and petroleum accounting) for the first time in Korea except for the Korea National Oil Corporation, SK Innovation and Daewoo International. Maybe because of it, many are paying close attention to KMDC Chairman Yeong-su Lee¡®s activities related to the Myanmar oil & gas development business. After signing a product sharing contract (PSC) with the Myanmar government for four offshore blocks, KMDC has increased its manpower who has expertise in  the development and production of petroleum and is currently focusing on its investment and evaluation studies such as data processing on two promising offshore blocks. Lee is asking the media not to judge the oil & gas development business politically but to pay attention to the national interest in the oil & gas development business and its economic effects. He expressed his ambition to soon prove the economic value of KMDC'S business in the oil & gas development in Myanmar.   


To focus on the development of two offshore blocks evaluated as promising among the total four blocks for which the exploration and development right has been granted

On 20 January 2010, Lee signed a PSC with the Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise, a state enterprise under the Myanmar Ministry of Energy for four blocks A5, A7, M15, and M16. Before signing the contract, he gathered the opinions of Korean and Myanmares experts in petroleum geology and they convinced him with  the value of A5 and A7. Thus, KMDC, with his partner BOC, a Mianmar company, applied for the exploration and development right. 

The offshore blocks of A5, A7 are adjacent to A1 and A3, large gas fields where Daewoo International is already preparing for production, and are located in Rakhine basin, a western sea of Myanmar where large-scale Gas fields were discovered. The main reservoir layer of Pliocene (name of geologic age belonging to the latter age among the three Cenozoic Eras), has turbidite evenly distributed and shows a large-scale promising structure. As such, those blocks have been evaluated as being promising gas blocks. KMDC has focused its efforts to acquiring a greater interest share of A5 and A7, which are relatively more promising blocks than M15 and M16, and currently holds 90 percent interest share of A5 and 60 percent of A7. In addition, this region has been recognized as having ample source rocks (rocks forming and emitting petroleum or gas) where the formation of petroleum and gas is possible. The existence of reservoir rocks (rocks containing petroleum) that may contain gas and crude oil has also been identified by the drilling log data of the blocks. The reservoir rocks have been also discovered in the islands (land) adjacent to the blocks. Lee said that these were sufficient for him to appreciate the values of those offshore blocks. 

Other than the turbidite of Pliocene layer where gas reservoir has already been identified, an anticlinal structure (an undercurrent structure of petroleum and gas) identified as being an integrated structure has been also developed underneath it on the Miocene layer (name of geologic age belonging to the earlier part of the three Cenozoic Eras) so that a multiple target may be enjoyed. Petroleum and gas are calculated as existing in the Miocene reservoir in Myanmar's central basin unlike the Daewoo fields so that not only gas but also the discovery of crude oil may be fully expected for positive results. 

On the other hand, as for the past media coverage claiming that the blocks are empty blocks, KMDC says the difference between the 2D seismic exploration technology of the 1970s and the 3D seismic exploration technology of the 21st century is akin to the difference between X-ray photos and MRI axial tomography. It says the less developed exploration technology of the 1970s should be considered first. In addition, the current Daewoo gas blocks are also blocks where France's Total company explored and conducted drilling but had failed (dry). Daewoo succeeded in re-exploring and drilling the blocks with more advanced exploration technology. 

The A7 of KMDC's blocks is where gas was discovered through exploration and drilling by France's Total. Back then, the purpose of petroleum companies was to find petroleum. It was when gas marketability was unclear and the processing technology did not exist. As a result, additional exploration was apparently not carried out, showing much potential for future successful exploration.


To raise the certainty of successful development and rich economic value by procuring expert manpower

The A5 and A7 blocks are located in the same basin as A3 And A1, where Daewoo International succeeded in exploring, and are classified as being a region with high success potential from the results of data reprocessing and interpretation so far. In addition, adjacent blocks are currently being explored by CNOOC (China), Daewoo, Malaysia's Petronas, Thailand's PTTEP, among others. Daewoo's Shwe (A1) and Shwe Phyu (A1) among others are currently producing gas. Many gas fields are distributed around and they are located where M03 (Thailand), which has recently been successfully explored, is located. The A5 and A7 blocks for which KMDC is responsible are located closer to Korea than the Middle East or Africa, making it easier to transport produced gas to Korea and therefore hold great economic value. It would be good to consolidate economic competitiveness by introducing the floating liquefied natural gas terminal (FLNG) of the collected gas and petroleum or  transporting that gas using existing gas pipe lines. Because it is also located close to China and India, major energy consuming countries, good results from the sale of gas is also expected. In addition, after recognizing the possibility of commercial discovery in the blocks, drawing large-scale investment may also be possible. All of this has been achieved by dispatching expert manpower to systematically and technologically investigate and research the sites. Vice-chairman Jong-hwa Lee, who worked as the head of the technology center of the Korea National Oil Corporation, exploration expert and standing advisor Beom-seok Bu who worked as the head of the department of development and production of the Korea National Oil Corporation and the representative of the Peruvian oil field Savia Peru, SK Energy's Exploration Expert and Executive Director Seong-deok Kang, Executive Director Sang-yeop Kim, as a  lawyer who worked for the Korea National Oil Corporation, working to support international contracts, Doctor Hyeok-jun Jang, a technology advisor from the Korea National Oil Corporation, and geologist and researcher Su-yeon Han, all of whom are experts more outstanding  than those in any other company, have been dispatched to the right places to dutifully execute expert exploration and production. In addition, in the KMDC branch office in Myanmar located in the center of Yangon, the economic capital of Myanmar, veteran exploration experts from the Myanmar oil and gas corporation and experts dispatched from Korea are conducting research by stage for successful exploration together with the government of Myanmar and local partner companies. The Ministry of Energy and the Oil and Gas Corporation of Myanmar hold high expectations for the offshore blocks of A5 and A7 since those blocks have been identified as promising exploration sites. According to a recent technological evaluation by an external organization and accounting firm, the  amount of gas and oil reserves in the two blocks is estimated as being about 10TCF and if there is no gap in the commercial production, it is expected to be a business of sales of about KRW 20 trillion (as of the proportion of share of contractors and interest shares of KMDC).

To contribute to raising the energy self-sufficiency of Korea

KMDC is currently working to sign a contract with a foreign company with expertise for the exploration of 3D seismic exploration. Just as a human body is taken photo of with MRI 3D axial tomography, the company plans 3D seismic program for the prospective area of blocks to find the exact drilling points and it will pursue the exploration and drilling of A5 and A7 until next year to find large-scale natural gas and then cooperate with the Myanmar government to build the production facilities without delay. For successful exploration, KMDC has proposed to Korean and global energy companies to jointly develop the Myanmar gas blocks, drawing the interest of global companies who share the thought that the blocks are promising. For the successful development of the Myanmar offshore blocks, which is also a state business of the Myanmar government, KMDC plans not to bow down to any political attacks or irresponsible criticisms and calmly proceeds with the plan as scheduled.

Chairman Yeong-su Lee showed a firm will to succeed in all circumstances and contribute to raising the energy self-sufficiency of Korea by bringing all the gas successfully produced to Korea. It is a great challenge for a new Korean company to participate as the main operator of large-scale gas blocks and all KMDC staff are working with the determination to write a new energy development history of Korea, Lee emphasized. Their goal is to succeed at the exploration no matter what and prepare the foundation for the Republic of Korea to rise as an energy stronghold in the 21st century.
