JVPC reported that Rang Dong field's oil drilling platforms N1 and S1 were put into re-operation on June 6 in combination with the E1 platform, which restarted production to pump oil and produce associated gas, which will be linked to Rang Dong-Bach Ho’s gas pipeline.
The working platforms will contribute to increasing this year's crude oil output of the field to 2.5 million tons, exceeding the set plan of 90,000 tons.
PetroVietnam has recently put a proposal to the Government to permit the operators of Block 15.2 to hold onto areas of the east and the southeast of Rang Dong field for another two years to allow further investment.
In a 2005-10 plan, PetroVietnam expects to raise its oil capacity to between 250 and 300 million tons and find 30 to 32 million tons worth of new oil reserves per year.

Viet Nam will have to import up to 17 billion tonnes of gas for domestic use annually after 2025 despite its sizeable reserves of natural gas, a senior official has said.
The gas sector is facing multiple challenges, including greater demand for gas and a potential gas shortage, which may become worse if a few key decisions for change are not made soon, the report says.
“Development of the natural gas sector is a key component of Viet Nam’s overall economic policy and is prominent within the National Strategy for Energy Development,” said Alain Barbu, Acting World Bank Country Director for Viet Nam.
According to the report, Viet Nam’s gas sector has tremendous potential that can be realised by 2025 with concerted and coordinated efforts by public agencies and their private partners.
(Source: Vietnam Business News, Nov 13, 2010)
According to the World Bank report, the natural gas sector is set to triple in size over the next 15 years. Vietnam must look to development of her untapped gas potential in order to remain competitive in the gas market.
Top energy experts will gather at the 13th VOGP in Hanoi on 24-25 February 2011 to provide latest updates on the country’s gas trade and market overview. Topics will touch on offshore exploration opportunities, developments under Master Plan VI, prospects for biofuel and more.

Under the plan on biofuel development to 2015 with a vision to 2025, Vietnam will produce 1.8 million tons of ethanol and vegetable oils for use as fuel annually, meeting 5 percent of domestic petrol and diesel demand in the next 15 years.
There are about four million hectares of deforested hill country in Vietnam – including more than half the Central Highlands – which are considered to be suitable for growing jatropha curcas, the crop that many countries use for biofuel.
By the end of 2011, Vietnam will have five biofuels plants with a total capital of 365,000 tons of ethanol, which, mixed with gasoline, will yield 7.3 million tons of E5 petrol.
The legal framework for biofuel production and trading in Vietnam is nearly complete.
Biofuel has been designated a key industry and biofuel production projects enjoy the highest level of investment incentives.

In light of this, the 13th VOGP has invited Vietnam Biomass, J.S.C. to include a Case Study on “Vietnam’s Sustainable Biofuel Developments & Investment Climate”.

"The Vietnam Energy Association has sent to the prime minister a petition to increase the electricity price to 8 US cents a kWh from the current 5 cents, and to eliminate the progressive price list.
The government is also recommended to raise prices of gas and coal used to produce electric power. The power price increase is expected to boost foreign investment into the energy industry, as the current low power price is not attractive to foreign investors, making it hard to raise foreign funds for developing power projects."

Petrolimex, Vietnam's top oil product importer, is now holding an estimated 60 percent of the domestic petrol market.
Petrolimex operates 1,800 pump stations and 65 oil depots nationwide.
According to Reuters, Vietnam relies almost entirely on oil-product imports as it lacks oil refineries.
The country's first refinery, the 140,000-barrels-per-day Dung Quat plant, which has started operations since February 2009, is expected to meet about 40 percent of domestic demand for refined oil products.
No foreign firms operate pump stations in Vietnam although the government has promised to allow foreign investors in the second refinery, Nghi Son, to participate in the retail market before the refinery is completed in 2013, Reuters reported. ~ VietnewsOnline.vn 5 Jan 2010

CAN THO — A major transmission line and transformer station costing US$81 million have finally come on line to improve connection between the southwest power system and the national grid.
The O Mon 500kV transformer station with the capacity of 450MVA and the 500kV power transmission line between Nha Be and O Mon were launched in Can Tho on Wednesday.
Their other task is to transmit the electricity produced by Ca Mau and O Mon thermoelectric power plants, with capacities of 1,500MW and 660MW, respectively, into the national grid.
The power transmission line passes through HCM City and five localities in the Mekong Delta, including Can Tho, Long An, Tien Giang, Vinh Long and Dong Thap.
Southern electrical project management board director Nguyen Tien Hai said that within five years, the O Mon transformer station capacity would be doubled and the total electricity through O Mon-Nha Be from now until 2020 would be about 45.3 billion kWh.
On the same day, the National Power Transmission Company successfully kicked off the 220kV transmission line between Hai Phong and Dinh Vu, which would transmit electricity from the 300MW Hai Phong thermoelectric power plant into the national grid to enhance its reliability, particularly in the northeast.
The company said the new projects would help reduce electricity shortages over the dry season.
