Myanmar is rich in natural resources, but much of this remains untapped.
Drilling is expensive and a costly gamble.
Land costs about $4,000 an acre, and drills are $2,000.
Most drillers pool their resources to pay the bills and share their profits.
Many start out drilling by hand until they can afford a generator and engine.
But the country’s artisanal wells wont last long.
