History

Parami Energy Group of Companies, formally Parami Energy Services Co., Ltd. (Parami), was founded in 2004 by Ken Tun as an engineering service provider.[4] In 2009, Parami partnered India's Punj Lloyd Group[5] in the construction of the landmark 40" x 205 km pipeline connecting the offshore Shwe natural gas field to China, a project that commissioned for operation in July 2013.[6]

In 2012, Parami secured a license to explore and develop Myanmar’s PSC-I onshore oil and gas block with India’s Jubilant Energy.[7] In 2014, it was awarded a license to explore and develop two offshore oil and gas blocks, AD-3 and A5,[8] as minority shareholder with UK-based Ophir Energy and US-based Chevron.

In March 2017, Parami was selected by the Union Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation as the private sector developer and operator of solar-powered electrification projects in rural Magway and Mandalay regions as part of the Myanmar government's National Electrification Program supported by the World Bank.[9]

In September 2017, Parami was awarded a contract by the Union Ministry of Electricity and Energy to operate a state-owned LPG import facility.[10] The contract involves the leasing of an LPG jetty and storage terminal at the Thanlyin refinery located 15 km east of Yangon for the purpose of importing, storing and distributing LPG across Myanmar.

Operations

The company currently operates two projects. Under its Parami Gas brand, it markets and distributes LPG to commercial and residential customers across Myanmar. Secondly, it operates two solar power projects on Yesagyo Island and in Gyaint Gyi township of Magway and Mandalay regions respectively.
