Notably, though facing with difficulties in the 2018’s first quarter, almost all the PVN’s subsidiaries complete business production and financial targets. Some highlighted production units of VSP, PVEP, Rusvietpetro, BSR, PVPower, PVFCCo, PVCFC remain the stable operation track.
As forecasted, the PVN would face numerous challenges in completing the goals set for 2018 as the crude oil price in the world sees unexpected fluctuation. The East Sea dispute also affects the oil exploration as well as foreign investment attraction.
Meanwhile, the firm’s major products are coping with fierce competition from imported ones, while obstacles in related policies and mechanisms have yet to be removed. The reduction in exploitation in major wells in 2018 is also forecast, while geological risks are rising, negatively impacting oil production of the whole country, including the PVN.
Last year, PVN managed to surpass all business production targets with the domestic yield of crude oil of 1.29 million tons beyond the annual target, and its contribution to the state budget exceeding VND22.9 trillion (US$1 billion).
