SHWE Gas Movement

In cooperation with Burma's military junta, a consortium of Indian and Korean corporations are currently exploring gas fields off the coast of Arakan State in Western Burma. Discovered in December 2003, these fields--labeled A-1, or "Shwe" (the Burmese word for gold)--are expected to hold one of the largest gas yields in Southeast Asia. These Shwe fields are destined to become the Burmese military government's largest single source of foreign income. However, for the people of Burma this project will likely bring more suffering than benefits. Key concerns are the exploitation of the voiceless, human rights abuses, destruction of environment and culture, and the entrenchment of the dictatorship. Learn more and take action via this website.
