Hanoi (VNA) – Dung Quat oil refinery has raised its capacity to 112% to contribute to reducing pressure on domestic petrol and diesel oil supply.

This is the highest capacity of the plant since it was put into operation in 2009, Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical JSC (BSR), which manages and operates the plant, said on November 6.

Based on directions of the Government, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam), the BSR has negotiated with oil field owners the possibility of increasing production output and adding more crude oil sources in November and December for the factory.

This is the second time this year the Dung Quat oil refinery has increased its operating capacity. Previously, on October 18, its capacity was raised from 107% to 109%./.
