The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited China Oilfield Services Limited (COSL) to respond to a report alleging that COSL is one of the oilfield services companies that “…have continued to work in Myanmar after the military’s attempted coup, helping the flow of gas – and revenues vital to the junta – to continue.” The report alleges that COSL “…supplied a semi-submersible rig to Myanmar...This rig, the Shen Lan Tan Suo, is reported to have been contracted by PTTEP to drill at the Zawtika project for 15 months from October 2022.” The report further alleges “…As of January 20, 2023, the Shen Lan Tan Suo was at the Yetagun gas field…” The report asserts that “…oilfield services companies have made themselves complicit with the junta as it commits war crimes and crimes against humanity against the people of Myanmar.”

COSL did not respond.
