To date, 67 projects have been put into operation, with 31 operating effectively, including a Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group oil refinery project, a Dung Quat shipbuilding project and a Doosan Heavy Industries Vietnam (Doosan Vina) project.
Nguyen Hoai Giang, General Director of the Binh Son Refinery-Petrochemical Company that manages and operates the Dung Quat Oil Refinery, said after two years of operation, the plant has produced more than 10 million tonnes of various types of oil.
