Built within two years at a cost of more than 10 trillion VND (450 million USD),
the plant has a daily capacity of 6.2 million cu.m of gas and is able to hold
8,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas and 3,000 cu.m of condensate.
Once operational, it will supply around 600 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas
and 35 tonnes of condensate to the market per day, meeting 10 percent of
domestic demand.
Speaking at the event, the top legislator noted that the Party and State give
priority to oil and gas sector, including gas industry, with a number of
incentives.
She lauded PetroVietnam and PVGas for making Vietnam one of the countries that
is able to turn gas into electricity and fertiliser.
The leader said the inauguration of the plant is meant to realise the Vietnam
National Energy Development Strategy approved by the government, contributing to
economic development in the southwest and Ca Mau province in particular.
Chairman of the PetroVietnam Members’ Council Tran Sy Thanh said the plant is
the final part of the gas – electricity – fertiliser project chain in Ca Mau,
adding that the successful project will contribute to PetroVietnam’s sustainable
development.
