New gas pipeline to be Vietnam’s largest

Vietnam Oil and Gas Corporation on Wednesday signed an agreement with military authorities in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho to co-develop the country’s longest gas pipeline.

Pham Hong Linh, head of the nearly 400-kilometer project’s management board, said the pipe would carry natural gas from Depot B on the southwestern continental shelf through the four Mekong Delta Provinces Ca Mau, Bac Lieu, Kien Giang and Hau Giang, supplying industrial zones on its way to the Can Tho-based O Mon Power Station.

The project is expected to cost US$1 billion, funded by the Vietnam Oil and Gas Finance Company under Vietnam Oil and Gas Corporation, also known as PetroVietnam.
