Project Profile
Vapue: US$3.21 billion
Location: Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam
Capacity: 148,000 bpd
Capacity expansion: 192,000 bpd (by 2022)
Start-up year: 2011
The expansion will see the increase of the Dung Quat refinery’s output rise to 10 million metric tonnes of crude a year, or 200,000 barrels per day, from 6.5 million tonnes. Dung Quat, which became operational in February 2009, is scheduled to undergo a two-month shutdown from the middle of July for maintenance, which is expected to result in a shortage of 1 million tonnes of oil products for the domestic market.
