It outlines, first, the role of British oil companies, during the colonial period. The post-independence policies of the Burmese Government(1948-63) led to a joint venture between the state and British oil companies and later to nationalization in 1963. Finally, the book also examines the progress, problems and recent policy changes relating to the state oil industry (1963 till present).
