Nghi Son oil refinery’s building permit granted
The central province of Thanh Hoa on July 22 handed over the building
ground and permit for the Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical Complex
(NSRP).
The 9-billion USD complex, covering an area
of 400 ha in the Nghi Son Economic Zone in the province’s Tinh Gia
district, is one of Vietnam’s key projects on national energy security
and development strategies.
With an annual capacity of 10 million tonnes of oil, the NSRP will help ensure energy security and provide petrochemical products for the domestic market.
The complex’s engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors include JGC Corporation and Chiyoda of Japan, the Republic of Korea’s GS Engineering & Construction Company, France’s Technip France and Technip Geoproduction from Malaysia.
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Mai Van Ninh said his province will effectuate its commitments with the complex, the EPC contractors, Japanese and Kuwaiti investors, as well as create the most favourable conditions for the EPC contractors.
Ninh also required the investors and EPC contractors to make full use of their capacity and experience to put the complex into operation soon.
Once commissioned in mid-2017 as scheduled, the NSRP is expected to refine 200,000 barrels of crude oil a day, equivalent to 10 million tonnes of oil a year.
