In a Facebook post, Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen described the country’s first few drops of oil as “a blessing for Cambodia” and “an important first step”.
The project, which started pumping oil at the end of December, had been 15 years in the making and had suffered several false starts.
Hun Sen said oil production would be a boon for Cambodia’s economy from 2021 onwards and that revenues from the sector would be used to improve education and health.
Cambodia might well look with envy at some of its neighbours, with substantial oil industries that make a key contribution to government revenues.
But will its nascent oil sector be able to make a real difference to Cambodia’s economic future?
Hard times
The country could use a boost. It suffered a sharp economic downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemic, after two decades of strong growth.

Sundaland is made up of the islands lying on the Sunda shelf (Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Palawan, Gulf of Thailand and smaller nearby islands) and the Malay Peninsula. It is bordered on the East of Borneo and Bali. Palawan Island is considered to be part of the Sundaland.
The Southeast Asian continent has one of the most complex geological histories in the world. The product of an ongoing collision between 2 ancient continents separated by an island archipelago, several distinct centers of biological diversity can be identified within a small geographic range (Indochina, Sundaland, Wallacea, and Papuasia), demarcated by the Isthmus of Kra and Wallace’s Line. During the Quaternary Period, cyclical climate changes have affected the region in 2 ways: sea level change modified total land area climate change affected the geographic distribution and elevational zonation of forest types.

Oil Price
As Asian oil demand looks set to increase over the next decade, Cambodia is taking advantage of the opportunity with its first crude oil production.
Cambodia’s plan is to extract oil from the Gulf of Thailand oil fields in a joint project with Singapore’s KrisEnergy Ltd, a plan that has seen several years of delays.
