Notes
News articles from June and September 2025 indicate the Thanlyin Modular Oil Refinery is scheduled to 'start in 2025' and 'expand by 2028', suggesting the facility is still under construction and not yet operational. The targeting of 500,000 tonnes per year represents future capacity goals, not current operations.
What coverage reports
These are counts of what publishers filed about this plant, not an operating status. A quiet month means nobody named this facility that month, which is a fact about coverage and not about the plant. Where this site states how a refinery is running it says so in the facts table above, from the curated dataset, and cites it there.
