PetroVietnam actively implemented science-technology and training activities as well as ensured oil and gas security and safety, environmental and labour safety.
The prevention of fire at oil and gas facilities was seriously controlled while social welfares were carried out.
The group strives to produce at least 13.28 million tonnes of crude oil and 10.61 billion cubic meters of gas in 2017 and keep a close watch on oil prices to promptly cope with any fluctuations.
It will also focus on safe and stable operation of oil and gas plants in addition to speeding up investment and prioritising capital for projects completed in 2017.
At the working session, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc recognised the group’s contributions to affirming national sovereignty and increasing the State budget.
He urged the group to speed up restructuring, reorganising production, and improving management in order to achieve its goals set for 2017 and following years.
