The company will focus on completing seismic research to increase successful exploratory drilling activities in lot 09-1 to the northwest of Bach Ho (White Tiger) oil field in the coming time.
In addition, it will implement suitable scientific measures to enhance the oil recovery coefficient while promoting cost optimisation.
Vietsovpetro is striving to pump up over 24.4 million tonnes of crude oil by 2020. The company expects to bring ashore 5 million tonnes and exploit a further 100,000 tonnes in 2016.
Revenue from oil is forecast to stand at 11.6 billion USD by 2020. However, Vietsovpetro is asking for Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group’s support to assure sufficient funds for production, due to financial imbalances spurred by a steep fall in oil prices.-VNA
