Hanoi (VNA)🔜 – As of late August, the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam) fulfilled its two important yearly targets of state budget contribution and before-tax profit ahead of schedule.
In the January-August period, the group’s state budget contribution was estimated at 90.5 trillion VND (3.75 billion USD), exceeding the yearly target by 16%.
Its total revenue was estimated to hit 575.8 trillion VND, equal to 85% of the yearly plan, and its before-tax profit was estimated to exceed the target for the whole year by 8%.
In the period, Petrovietnam exploited 7.06 million tonnes of crude oil, and produced 108,000 tonnes of nitrogen, 1.07 billion kWh of electricity, 588,600 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), 4.8 million tonnes of petroleum and oil (excluding the output of the Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical LLC), and 117,700 tonnes of Polypropylene. These results were all higher than the eight-month targets.
