STOCKS NEWS ASEAN-Singapore's Interra up on Myanmar oil field Mar 15th 2012, 02:19 Wed Mar 14, 2012 10:19pm EDT Shares of Interra Resources Ltd surged as much as 8.1 percent after the Singapore petroleum exploration and production firm said its jointly controlled Goldpetrol Joint Operating Company Inc had started drilling a well in Myanmar. Interra shares rose 6.5 percent to S$0.33 and were among the top five traded stocks by volume in Singapore. More than 13 million shares were traded compared with average full-day volume of 15 million. "People might be hoping that they will find oil. The stock has also drawn interest recently because of its Myanmar exposure," said a local trader. Interra said on Wednesday YNG 3243 is the first development well to be drilled this year in the Yenangyaung oil field in Myanmar. Interra owns 60 percent of Goldpetrol, the operator of the field.
