Dung Quat Oil Refinery to resume full capacity
The Dung Quat Oil Refinery will again operate at full capacity on September 12 or 13, two days earlier than scheduled following maintenance.
The refinery resumed operations at the end of last month and is currently running at a 70 per cent capacity.
To date, this had been the first overall maintenance of the refinery, carried out over two months.
Several technological problems had been successfully dealt with in the process, said the director of the Binh Son Refinery Company, Nguyen Hoai Giang.
A second overall maintenance of the refinery is planned to be carried out in four years time.
According to the deputy director of Petro Viet Nam, Vu Quang Nam, the output of oil and gas during the first eight months of the year reached around 64 and 73 per cent of the planned yearly target, respectively, with an excess of 16 per cent in turnover.
New oil fields at Dai Hung, Chim Sao and Dana, amongst other locations, are planned to be put into operation by the end of the year, Nam added. – VNS
