据烃加工网站3月16日报道：越南正寻求建设第三座炼油厂，以满足国内消费需求，因为该国正面临供应短缺和能源价格飙升的问题。

该工厂将位于越南头顿市南部，设计产能为1000万立方米（350万吨/年）。

越南国家石油公司正在起草投资程序，计划在今年10月前完成。

据政府称，越南的两座炼油厂分别于2009年和2018年投入运营，但都只能满足国内需求的70%左右。

有了这座新工厂，越南的原油总产能将达到2300万立方米，预计足以满足国内使用。

目前的原油勘探仅满足国内石油生产原料的50%。

由于股东在原油采购融资问题上存在分歧，这个东南亚国家正面临汽油短缺，不得不动用其燃料储备，因为其最大的炼油厂在1月份减产。

官方数据显示，越南前两个月进口石油产品135万立方米，较平均每月50万立方米大幅增加。

Vietnam plans to build third oil refinery

Vietnam is seeking to build its third oil refinery to meet domestic consumption demand as the country is facing a supply shortage and soaring energy prices.

The plant, which is set to be located in the southern province of Vung Tau, has a design capacity of 10 MMm3 (3.5 MMtpy).

Vietnam's state oil firm PetroVietnam is drafting investment procedures, which it aims to complete by this October.

Two refinery plants in Vietnam were put into operation in 2009 and 2018, according to the government, but both only meet around 70% of domestic demand.

With this new plant, Vietnam's total capacity would reach 23 MMm3, which was expected to be enough for domestic use.

It is noted that current crude oil exploration only met 50% of the raw materials for domestic petroleum production.

The Southeast Asian country is facing a shortfall of petrol and had to tap into its fuel reserves as its largest refinery cut production in January due to a disagreement between shareholders over financing for crude oil procurement.

Vietnam imported 1.35 MMm3 of petroleum products in the first two months, a significant jump from an average monthly amount of 500,000 m3, official data showed.
