Vietnam's petroleum market flourishes

World oil prices result in an increase in Vietnam oil prices. Besides, the easing of social distancing in the countries boosts the demand for oil consumption.

Taking this opportunity, BSR has optimized and flexibly adjusted the capacity of Dung Quat Oil Refinery to boost sales of products to limit the impact of price fluctuations; deploy and take initiative in production and delivery solutions to balance reasonable inventories in order to take advantage of opportunities to increase market prices, etc. Producing high-value products to meet market demand is to increase efficiency.
