Crude oil, natural gas production up

The crude oil and natural gas production index in the first five months of this year saw an increase of 5.9 per cent over the same period last year, said the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The output of crude oil in five months reached 6.8 million tonnes, a year-on year increase of 11.5 per cent, and liquefied petroleum gas rose to 292,900 tonnes, 16.2 per cent higher than the corresponding period last year.

The output of oil and petrol last month dropped by 44 per cent against last month, staying at 309.9 tonnes, as Dung Quat oil refinery plant stopped its operation for an overhaul
