Yadana gas field

The Yadana project is a gas production project in the Bay of Bengal in Burma (Myanmar ). Partner in the Yadana project are the Petroleum Authority of Thailand Exploration and Production, the French company Total, the U.S. company Unocal and the Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise.

The gas produced from the project will be primarily exported through its own pipeline to Thailand.

The project is very controversial among human rights organizations. These accuse the operators that were used for the construction of the pipeline forced laborers and residents were expelled from their villages along the route. Unocal has therefore been repeatedly sued in the U.S. for compensation. A documentary titled "Total Denial " shows on the backgrounds.
