Oil & Gas Exploitation Up 5.9 Pct in Five Months
The crude oil and natural gas production index in May showed an increase of 4.2 percent over April and 6.7 percent over last year’s same month.
The output of crude oil in five months reached 6.8 million tonnes, a year-on year increase of 11.5 percent, and liquefied petroleum gas rose 16.2 percent to 292,900 tonnes compared to the same period last year.
As the Dung Quat oil refinery has stopped its operation for an overhaul, the output of oil and petrol in May dropped by 44.0 percent against last month to 309.9 tonnes.
