Chevron Vietnam’s factory gets expansion

At the launch ceremony, Director of the factory Nguyen Dat Phu praised the two Petrolimex contractors, which he said are leading companies in designing, monitoring and constructing petrochemical facilities in Vietnam.

Vuong Thai Dung, Deputy General Director of Petrolimex – Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) and Chairman of PEC’s board of directors, asked PEC and PCC-1 to ensure the progress, quality and safety of the project to prove Petrolimex’s prestige in petrochemistry.

The Chevron Vietnam lubricant oil factory became operational in 1999 and had initial production capacity of 15 million litres a year.

PEC said the contractors face considerable pressure as Chevron Lubricants Vietnam Co. Ltd wants the expansion project carried out in tandem with the factory’s operations and disruption to the plant’s operation must be minimal.
