The Dung Quat Oil Refinery in the central province of Quang Nam
plans to turn out and sell around 6 million tonnes of products this
year.
The country’s first oil refinery has set to
earn more than 108 trillion VND in revenues and contribute over 15
trillion VND to the state budget.
Since the refinery’s
overall maintenance in mid Sept. 2011, the refinery has run at its full
capacity. Last year, it produced almost 5.5 million tonnes of petroleum
products and sold more than 5.4 million tonnes of products for almost
110 trillion VND.
Eight petroleum and gas products
produced by the refinery have received ISO 9001-:2008 certificates from
Norway-based Det Norrske Veritas (DNV), a leading international provider
of risk management services.
The products include
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), propylene, unleaded petrol, Jet A1 fuel,
kerosene and diesel oil.
The refinery’s
developer, PetroVietnam, and its foreign partners are studying a
possibility to raise the refinery’s yearly capacity to 10 million
tonnes.
They plan an additional investment
of 1 billion USD for the capacity expansion scheme, which is expected to
be completed in 2016./.
