The information was heard at the 45th meeting of Vietsovpetro’s Council in the southern province of Ba Ria- Vung Tau on December 10.

The event saw the participation of representatives from ministries and sectors of the Vietnamese and Russian Governments, the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam), the Russia’s oil and gas group AO Zarubezhneft and Vietsovpetro executives.
