Striving for new motivation
In the first 8 months of the year, Petrovietnam's operating sectors/fields continued to make many efforts to add new driving forces, aiming to achieve the highest governance target in 2024.
PetroVietnam Exploration and Production Corporation (PVEP) forecasts that exploration and reserve increase will exceed the set plan. Mine development and new projects are actively implemented.
In the Gas - Power - Fertilizer sector, a representative of PV GAS informed that the output of gas coming ashore decreased due to low mobilization of electricity. However, the gas business outside of electricity grew quite well, PV GAS has also just added LNG products to the Northern market. International business also achieved positive growth.
