Dung Quat: 5.18 mln tons of products in 2014

The plan was unveiled at a December 31 congress of BSR under the Viet Nam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam).

With the output, the company is expected to pocket more than VND 113.6 trillion (roughly US$ 5.3 billion), contributing over VND 13.7 trillion  to the State budget.

The figures represent increases ranging from 11.4% to 14% compared with the target set by PetroVietNam.

To realise the plan, the company has focused on managing and operating the Dung Quat Oil Refinery based in the central province of Quang Ngai safely and stably, with regular overall maintenance and projects on the upgrading, expansion and privatisation of the plant, said BSR General Director Dinh Van Ngoc.

Last year, the company turned out 6.6 million tonnes of products, up 17%, and sold 6.5 million tons of products, up 14%, earning revenue of more than VND 150 trillion and contributing over VND 27.2 trillion to the State budget, the highest amount over the past four years.

The company took the initiative in signing contracts and ensuring the stable, safe and effective operation of the plant, helping stabilise the market.

It also placed importance on security, environmental protection, fire fighting and maintenance work.-VNA
