The PVN today not only ships crude oil abroad but also supplies oil for Dung Quat Refinery in central Quang Ngai province.

The firm has extracted 7.48 million tonnes of crude oil, both locally and overseas, in the first half of 2017, bringing home USD3.17 billion.

Of the amount, 3.04 million tonnes has been provided to Dung Quat Oil Refinery, exceeding the plant’s designed capacity.

According to the State-run group, a barrel of crude oil earns Vietnam USD54.4 on average during the period, higher than the expected rate of USD50 and global prices.

Crude oil prices are projected to hover around USD46 - 50 per barrel in the remaining months of this year, lowering the entire year’s average to about USD50 per barrel./.
