MPRL E&P is committed to demonstrating appropriate and sincere respect for the environment, particularly for the prevention of any accidental loss of resources or assets likely to have an impact on the environment, company employees and communities located in the areas where we operate.

Our Strategy

MPRL E&P expects active participation in achieving its goals and commitments by all employees and managers regardless of corporate hierarchy, contractor, and/or suppliers who individually and collectively are responsible for performance across the business value chain.

As a result the following commitments influence our strategy:

Our Management Framework

Guided by ISO 14001, MPRL E&P’s Environmental Management System Framework integrates internal policies, existing national rules and regulations, and other applicable international guidance. Continued environmental analysis and monitoring is intended to minimize the adverse impacts or consequences on the natural environment and people affected by the proposed project and/or business activity.

MPRL E&P Achieves Five-Year Extension for Environmental Compliance Certificate at Mann Field

MPRL E&P’s Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Project at Mann Field has successfully obtained a five-year extension for its Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) following rigorous assessments and collaboration with environmental entities.

The first ECC for Mann Field’s EOR Project, obtained in 2019, validates the project’s adherence to environmental standards and best practices. Through consistent monitoring, reporting, and cooperation with regulatory bodies, MPRL E&P ensured compliance and successfully secured the extension. The achievement underscores our commitment to environmental stewardship and regulatory compliance.

The certificate awarding ceremony took place on 30 May 2024, at Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MONREC), where the Head of the Health, Safety, and Environmental Department proudly received the ECC extension certificate for Mann Field.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the personnel and departments involved in the Mann Field ECC extension process. With this extension granted, we remain committed to fulfilling our obligations and are determined to prioritize environmental conservation at all costs.

Mann Field Granted with an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC)

The Mann Field Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Project is the “first ever producing oil and gas asset in the upstream energy sector of Myanmar” that has been issued an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) making a significant achievement for the project, MOGE, MPRL E&P, and all stakeholders involved.

Mann Field Enhanced Oil Recovery project is granted an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC), marking it as the “first ever producing oil & gas asset in the upstream energy sector of Myanmar”.
The project is committed to monitor and manage its surrounding environment so as to reduce the negative impacts which may rise from the project activities. To control the adverse impacts on ambient air, water, noise and safe environment management, a regular monitoring and management of required parameters have been accomplished to produce the environmental monitoring report on the basis of monitoring through the third party contractor, ALARM and the Environmental Conservation Department, Magway in the field.

Produced Water Management in Mann Field

Produced Water Management of Mann Field – Reached ZERO DISCHARGE Achievement

As Mann Field was discovered in early 1970’s, the field becomes more mature and more water is producing from oil producing wells. The field was compartmentalized by the three major faults and other minor regular and reverse faults so that reservoir mechanism is complicated inclusive with different drive mechanisms such as solution gas drive, gas cap drive, water drive etc. Since water injection was partially applied historically, the effect of water injection and/or aquifer encroachment were observed at the producing profile.

An important question mark is that how to wisely handle the tremendous amount of unwanted produced water is an imperative task in order to minimize or avoid the environmental impact. Prior to find out the proper way to dispose those unwanted produced water, the practice was a simple disposing method which was flowing through the field. Field is located beside Mann Creek and Irrawaddy River, it was realized that disposing water could be flowed to the river, questionable environmental impact.

This note is describing the development of produced water management that MPRL E&P is practicing currently in order to eliminate environmental hazardous issues with related to producing water daily by following methods;

The ultimate goal of MPRL E&P to minimize environmental impact is Zero Discharge in produced water management. It is not an easy task to fulfil the target and eventually it took quite a long time more than five years. However, MPRL E&P is really initiative in order to implement environmental management plan among other onshore fields. The team recorded milestones on achievements such as fabricating and renovating all gas & oil collection stations GOCS’s, constructing waste management compound, cellar renovation and constructing double cellars at individual well sites, composting food waste, segregation of general waste, sludge management, drilling cuttings management, produce water management etc. For this progress efforts, MPRL E&P proudly brings up that the mile stone of Zero Discharge on produced water management was implemented on 24 August 2017. (Fig:1)

After achieving the zero discharge target, MPRL E&P started considering to extend the concept to handle produced water efficiently and effectively, that is, trying to switch from the disposal to injection all produced water in order to maximize the recoverable of reserve oil by the reservoir energy support. Reference to the operation activities, the five injection pumps are successfully injecting all volume of produced water (1400 bbl +/-) to the dedicated wells in the mid of 2019. (Fig:2)

Environmental Refurbishment Initiative

Over the past 15 years, MPRL E&P has jointly managed Mann Field with MOGE. Our partnership has strengthened over time, fostering knowledge, skills development and capacity building. Together, we understand the impact of our operations and have dedicated our time to continuously improve all operation sites to minimize any harm impacted against the environment and surrounding communities. This initiative was not part of a contractual or legal requirement but conducted as an initiative of being a responsible investor.
