Boris Johnson’s cognitive dissonance, Myanmar exits, and South African LNG deals

This week we explore the different exit routes pursued by Chevron and TotalEnergies in Myanmar following a brutal military coup last year. Significantly, the Energy Voice team ask whether the withdrawal processes underway in Myanmar can offer a glimpse into the divestment strategies of other big Western oil companies in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. 

Elsewhere, Andrew makes his debut on the pod and casts the spotlight on the UK’s efforts to boost energy security after Boris Johnson hosts oil and gas CEOs to discuss boosting supply from the North Sea. The team also ponders the Prime Minister’s cognitive dissonance as he jets around authoritarian regimes in the Middle East to shore up oil supplies. 

And last, but by no means least, Ed, walks us through how miners in South Africa are cleaning up their act by moving towards LNG in their operations to replace coal-fired power, which dominates the country’s energy mix.
