First oil refinery produces petrol

The first flow of petrol with an octane rating of 102 RON came out of technology unit No13 of the Dung Quat Oil Refinery – the first of its kind in Vietnam – on May 6.

After tests, Made-in-Vietnam commercial petrol products will be launched on to the market in early June, according to Dinh Van Ngoc, general director of the Binh Son Petrochemical Company under the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group.

The refinery is expected to supply 400,000-500,000 tonnes of petrol and oil to the market every month. Its products will help stabilise the domestic oil market amidst unexpected fluctuations in global oil prices.
