Vietnam gas markets long-term outlook 2019
Report summary
Numerous LNG import projects have been proposed in Vietnam since our last update driven by two factors. Firstly, increased interest in gas to power and secondly, potential gas supply deficits, particularly in South Vietnam. Will this impending supply crunch lead to accelerated development of proven resources or will LNG import projects progress further? Key highlights • PetroVietnam inks a binding HOA with PETRONAS for volumes from PM3 CAA and other fields to feed gas-short Southwest Vietnam Highlights • 10 regas projects proposed. Is now the time for LNG to take off in Vietnam? • PetroVietnam inks a binding HOA with PETRONAS for additional volumes from PM3 CAA and other nearby fields to feed gas-short Southwest Vietnam • Eni strikes gas in Central Vietnam and the development of Sao Vang/Dai Ngyuet sees progress • Gas price reform proposed in the power sector, although we anticipate delays in implementation
