Given this, the Petrovietnam General Director has assigned growth tasks to each of the subsidiaries, directly chaired meetings on the implementation of yearly plans, and regularly supervised the rollout of administration plans at key units.
Thanks to technological solutions, the productivity and capacity of the group’s factories have exceeded 110%.
Its crude oil output reached 5.3 million tonnes in the first six months of this year, exceeding the set target by 14.3%, with 4.4 million tonnes exploited at home, surpassing the plan by 16.9%.
Most of the oil and gas giant’s units have overfulfilled their assigned tasks for the first half, notably its total revenue estimated at 420.1 trillion VND, surpassing the target by 24%, and its budget contribution, excluding the payment by the Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical LLC, more than 66 trillion VND, surpassing the target by 63%.
Within the first six months, Petrovietnam completed investment and put into operation its Thai Binh 2 Thermal Power Plant on April 27, 2023, contributing to the national electricity supply amid the power crunch, especially in the northern region.
The group has been named among the top 10 innovative enterprises in Vietnam in 2023 compiled by the Vietnam Investment Review in collaboration with Vietnam Business Research JSC (Viet Research).
In addition, it saved up to 1.15 trillion VND between January and June, equivalent to 51.4% of the yearly plan, and carried out social welfare activities with funding of 80.47 billion VND.
