The largest shareholder and operator of Burma?s Yetagun gas field, Texaco, has appointed an investment banker to seek buyers of Texaco?s 42.9% stake in Burma?s Yetagun gas field. Hassan Marican, president of Malaysia?s Petronas, is considering purchasing Texaco?s shares. During Texaco?s annual shareholder meeting in May the company cited financial rather than human rights concerns as grounds for the sale.
