At Nga Naung Mone, Myanmar’s largest unregulated oil field, a day’s haul can fill a tarpaulin-lined pit until evening, when it’s trucked to a collection station. Thousands of wildcat prospectors have come to Nga Naung Mone with a dream of striking #oil and making it rich. But most wildcatters will be lucky to collect a barrel a day, earning a little over $50. That’s good money in rural #Myanmar, but most drillers here in Nga Naung Mone saved for years or borrowed money to come up with the setup costs, about $7,300 to buy a plot of land from a farmer, acquire some basic equipment and hire a driller. On top of that, since prospectors first struck oil here about 5 years ago, the field has become overcrowded, and its reserves have been depleted. Several thousand people now live and work here, and the oil fields are chockablock with derricks, many as close as 10 feet apart. Most drillers figure Nga Naung Mone has at most 2 years left before it is pumped dry. Then, they’ll pack up their derricks and their dreams and move on.
