A pipe coating factory, the first of its kind in the country, run by the PetroVietnam Investment and Development Joint Stock Company (PVID) under the National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam), was officially inaugurated on July 15.

The factory, located in Phu My 1 Industrial Zone in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau , will help PetroVietnam save on the costs of hiring foreign firms to coat its gas and oil pipelines, and create numerous jobs for locals.

Work on the 517-billion-VND factory started last August.

PVID said that the factory will coat pipelines taking gas from the White Sea Lion, White Rhino and White Tiger oil fields ashore./.
