In 2016 in very difficult circumstances as there were low oil prices, investment decrease, many projects having to stop or stretch schedule… that seriously affected the lives of employees, but PVN had appropriate and strong measures for overcoming the difficulties to look after their living conditions

An outstanding success PVN had achieved in almost fantastic condition was the plan for additional exploitation of one million tons of oil assigned by government to supplement state budget in 2016. In condition that production in many oil fields was declined, even in some ones the production cost was higher than price, and there ware several foreign investors to drop out due to low oil prices… but PVN had fulfilled this plan.

In 2017, PVN has already foreseen the objective and subjective difficulties but it also realized active signals as the oil prices are increasing though these could not reach the previous period levels; a series of the large projects as Blue Whale gas field, Lot B – Omon gas pipeline, Long Son petrochemical refinery plant will be started up
