TOKYO/BANGKOK -- Japan's top oil refiner Eneos Holdings will withdraw from natural gas production in Myanmar, Nikkei has learned, amid growing criticism that the project has funded the military's suppression of human rights in the Southeast Asian nation.
Development of the Yetagun offshore gas field was funded by Japan's government and companies, but it became difficult to continue after Mitsubishi Corp. announced in February that it would withdraw from the project.
