Mr. Duong Manh Son: The last two years were the most difficult period in the development history of Vietnam's oil and gas industry including PV GAS. They will be lessons for us to recognize the most important values, to support the collective and each person to move forward.

Inheriting the core value of Petrovietnam's culture, it is "Aspiration - Intelligence - Professionalism - Love". Complying with the Resolution of the 10th PV GAS Party Congress with the motto "Solidarity - Innovation - Professionalism - Action", PV GAS could achieve the greatest successes.

PV GAS continued to achieve its financial targets at a high level, especially in 2021, reaching the highest total revenue of nearly VND80 trillion since its establishment. 2021 was also the year PV GAS had the highest donations to social welfares and the pandemic prevention and control with nearly VND300 billion.

PV GAS affirmed to be a bright spot in construction and investment with many key and complex projects which were carried out, completed and met requirements. The gas industry will develop stronger when the new projects are expected to complete and put into operation.

Reporter: Sir, at COP26, Vietnam signed a commitment towards combating climate change. Along with that, the national power development master plan in 2021-2030 (or Power Development Master Plan 8) sets out a roadmap towards renewable energy, minimizing coal power. LNG is the future trend. Can you tell about the LNG development roadmap of PV GAS in the coming period?

Mr. Duong Manh Son: The Resolution 55-NQ/TW, the Decision 2233/QD-TTg, and the Decision 60/QD-TTg all clearly defined the import and development of LNG as one of the country’s sustainable energy development solutions, meeting the requirements of socio-economic development for the new period along with the trend of energy transition that is taking place strongly globally.

Since last many years, under the close direction of Petrovietnam, PV GAS has taken the initiative, prepared for the energy transition, quickly completed the LNG infrastructure system for importing from 2022 and gradually made LNG be as an important solution of the National Energy Strategy. This has been also the goal to make up for the declining domestic gas source, to proactively supply, and to enhance the development of the gas/LNG market in Vietnam.

Simultaneously, PV GAS also built a specific strategy on developing the gas/LNG market, diversifying customers as well as actively researching and working with potential gas/LNG consumers in the future, in which the key gas-fired power plants will account for more than 70% and the rest 30 per cent for the petroleum customers, industrial households, transportation and urban areas.

PV GAS has concentrated resources on investment and development of infrastructure for importing, storing and distributing LNG nationwide. Specifically, 3 LNG hubs will be set up in each region in the country including: the 1- million ton per year LNG storage project at Thi Vai Terminal in southern region, towards increasing its capacity to 3 million tons/year; Son My LNG storage facility in the central region; and the rest in the northern region (Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Thanh Hoa provinces). Moreover, PV GAS has focused on preparing the short and medium-term import sources; The preparation for LNG consumption has also been actively implemented by PV GAS;…

Continuing to carry out the pioneering mission in the gas industry and the LNG field in Vietnam, PV GAS has clearly defined the development strategy of the LNG energy segment, with the direction and support of the Government, ministries, relevant agencies and especially Petrovietnam. The determination is to do our best for the sustainable development of clean energy - That is the will of all employees in the gas industry in Vietnam - our PV GAS!
