+Premier Oil was first registered in the UK in 1934 (then as the Caribbean Oil Company) to exploit oil and gas in Trinidad.
 Premier Oil has been established in Burma since 1990 (and insists on referring to the country as Myanmar, the name given by its military dictatorship). In 1992 the Yetagun Gas Field was discovered and gas sales to Thailand from that field started in May 2000. Since then offshore facilities have been built in the Gulf of Martaban, 124 miles off the west coast of Burma and a 168-mile long pipeline has been constructed to the Thai border. This $650 million project was Premier Oil's biggest during that period (Premier's stake in it is estimated to $200 million) and was expected to yield gas for the coming 20 years.
+===Aquisitions===
 In 1995 Premier Oil acquired [[Pict Petroleum]]. As part of this deal, [[Amerada Hess]] (previously part-owner of Pict) came to hold 25% of Premier Oil's enlarged equity.

 Premier Oil acquired its first interest in the North Sea in 1971. In 1977 it gained further access to the UK continental shelf as well as properties in Sudan and West Africa by merging with Ball and Collins North Sea Consortium. Its 12.5% share in the onshore oil field at Wytch Farm in Dorset acquired in 1984 (and the subsequent offshore extension of this field) is still making an important contribution to the revenues.
