Chevron is Selling $1.2 Billion in Gas Assets in Myanmar

Reuters reported that Chevron (NYSE:CVX) has put its gas stakes in Myanmar up for sale. This could represent the largest transaction involving Myanmar’s gas assets.
As quoted in the publication:

The sale is part of Chevron’s efforts to preserve cash and retreat from non-core assets in the wake of sliding oil prices.
