RIL signs production sharing pact for offshore blocks in Myanmar

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indian oil and gas major Reliance Industries said on Tuesday it had signed an agreement with Myanmar for a production sharing contract for two offshore blocks. Reliance will be the operator of the blocks with a 96 percent participating interest while United National Resources Development Services Co. Ltd, a Myanmar company, will hold the remaining stake. Reliance said in a statement its participation was in line with its strategy to expand its international asset base by investing in attractive oil and gas destinations.
