PetroVietnam puts more oil fields into operation

At an online meeting on July 5, PetroVietnam General Director Thuc affirmed that PetroVietnam’s exploration of oil and gas in the East Sea is totally within the area of Vietnam’s sovereignty and jurisdiction rights and within Vietnam’s continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.

In the first half of the year, PetroVietnam achieved a turnover of US$16.6 billion, representing 68 percent of the yearly plan and a 45 percent year-on-year increase, said Thuc.

PetroVietnam’s strong growth was attributable to turnover from oil sales of US$6.05 billion, a year-on-year rise of 49 percent, as oil rose by US$34 per barrel from 2010 to US$115 on the world market, he added.

PetroVietnam is set to turn out three products in the remaining six months, namely the first ever 90m jack-up rig, fibre products for textile and garment industry and ethanol products, he said.
