On July 20th, 2022, Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical LLC (NSRP) in Nghi Son Economic Zone, Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam has successfully loaded two shipments of gasoline and middle distillate to the Nghi Son Refinery Distribution Branch of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PVNDB) in accordance with the off-take agreement signed between the two sides since 2013.
NSRP achieved the milestone of supplying 20 million metric tons of petroleum products to the Vietnamese market
This event has marked an important milestone of the company’s supplying a total of 20 million metric tons of petroleum products to the Vietnamese market since the first shipment to PVNDB in October 2018, which is equivalent to the national annual consumption demand of 20.5 to 21 million metric tons.
The fuel product supply from Nghi Son Refinery towards the Vietnamese national demand is currently 35%, contributing to the overall proportion of the domestic production at about 65 -70%. The remaining 30% of the domestic demand relies on the import of finished petroleum products from surrounding countries such as Singapore, South Korea and China.
According to the statistic of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the domestic petroleum consumption has been growing at a rapid pace from 16.3 million metric tons in 2010 to 20.5 million metric tons in 2021, while the supply coverage ratio through imports has been sharply decreasing from about 71% in 2010 to 34% in 2021.
Mr. So Hasegawa, General Director of NSRP said: “We are very proud of this significant achievement and, on behalf of NSRP, I would like to convey my sincerest gratitude to all our stakeholders, such as the Sponsors, the relevant authorities, our employees and commercial partners, for their continuous support on us. In the context of the “new-normal” after such a prolonged and complex period of the COVID-19 pandemic that has been negatively affecting the international and domestic oil and gas market, this remarkable success of NSRP has strongly reaffirmed the product quality and asserted our positive impact on the national energy security and economic development”.
