The three parties are the China National United Oil Corporation (CNUOC), Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise, and a consortium led by the Daewoo International Group Corporation, sources with the CNUOC said Thursday. Under the agreement signed on Wednesday evening, the Shwe gas will be transmitted through pipeline and partly tapped along the route in Myanmar's territory to promote the economic development of the region, the sources said, adding that the contract agreement is effective for 30 years and it is estimated to start supplying gas in 2013.
