Parami Energy Group

Parami Energy Group of Companies is a Myanmar-based energy conglomerate whose activities span engineering services, energy infrastructure, liquefied petroleum gas, solar-powered electricity generation, and upstream oil and gas. The group was founded in 2004 by Ken Tun, initially operating as an engineering service provider. Its subsequent development was shaped by participation in major infrastructure and energy projects in Myanmar, including pipeline construction, petroleum exploration, offshore block development, rural electrification, and LPG infrastructure operations. A significant early project came in 2009, when Parami partnered with India's Punj Lloyd Group on construction of a large-diameter, 205-kilometre pipeline linking the offshore Shwe natural gas field with China. The pipeline was reported as 40 inches in diameter and entered operation in July 2013. This project placed Parami within one of Myanmar's most important natural-gas infrastructure programs and demonstrated the company's role as a local engineering and project partner. Parami expanded into upstream exploration in 2012 after securing, together with India's Jubilant Energy, a license to explore and develop Myanmar's PSC-I onshore oil and gas block. In 2014, the company also received interests in two offshore blocks, AD-3 and A5, as a minority shareholder alongside UK-based Ophir Energy and US-based Chevron. These arrangements extended the group's activities from infrastructure services into exploration and development of domestic hydrocarbon resources. The group later broadened its portfolio toward distributed and renewable energy. In March 2017, Myanmar's Union Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation selected Parami as the private-sector developer and operator for solar-powered rural electrification projects in the Magway and Mandalay regions. The projects formed part of Myanmar's National Electrification Program, which was supported by the World Bank. This work positioned the company as a participant in efforts to extend electricity access beyond the country's established grid network. In September 2017, the Union Ministry of Electricity and Energy awarded Parami a contract to operate a state-owned LPG import facility. Through its Parami Gas brand, the company markets and distributes LPG to commercial and residential customers across Myanmar. LPG provides a distinct business line from the group's upstream and infrastructure activities, connecting imported energy supply with household and commercial end users. The company's reported operating portfolio includes its LPG distribution business under the Parami Gas name and two solar power projects, located on Yesagyo Island and in Gyaint Gyi township in the Magway and Mandalay regions respectively. Public reference material does not provide sufficient information to establish the group's current ownership structure, financial scale, corporate website, listed status, or detailed executive roster. Accordingly, this dossier focuses on the activities and milestones documented in the available reference material rather than adding unverified corporate details.

Parami Energy Group of Companies was established in Myanmar in 2004 by Ken Tun as an engineering service provider. The company later developed into a diversified energy group with activities in infrastructure, hydrocarbons, LPG, and solar power. In 2009, Parami formed a partnership with India's Punj Lloyd Group for construction of the pipeline linking the offshore Shwe natural gas field in Myanmar to China. The project involved a reported 40-inch pipeline extending approximately 205 kilometres. It was commissioned in July 2013, marking one of the group's most prominent documented infrastructure contributions. The company entered upstream oil and gas in 2012, when it secured a license with India's Jubilant Energy to explore and develop the PSC-I onshore block in Myanmar. In 2014, Parami expanded its exploration portfolio through minority participation in offshore blocks AD-3 and A5. The offshore ventures were undertaken with UK-based Ophir Energy and US-based Chevron. Parami subsequently increased its involvement in electricity access and downstream energy. In March 2017, the Union Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation selected the company to develop and operate solar-powered rural electrification projects in the Magway and Mandalay regions. The projects were associated with Myanmar's National Electrification Program and supported by the World Bank. In September of the same year, the Union Ministry of Electricity and Energy awarded Parami a contract to operate a state-owned LPG import facility. The group's downstream LPG activities operate under the Parami Gas brand, which markets and distributes LPG to residential and commercial customers across Myanmar. Its reported solar portfolio includes projects on Yesagyo Island and in Gyaint Gyi township in the Magway and Mandalay regions. Available reference material does not establish the precise current status of the exploration licenses, the ownership structure of the group, its financial performance, or its current management team.
