He reaffirmed the Vietnamese Government’s commitment to creating optimal conditions so the project could start pumping gas out of the Ca Voi Xanh field in 2023.
For his part, Greenwood said that the project is important for ExxonMobil in fostering cooperation with Vietnam in utilising and producing oil and gas products.
He gave some proposals on removing obstacles for the firm and the Vietnamese side to soon reach a final agreement.
The Ca Voi Xanh field is about 100 km east of the central coast.
The Prime Minister has recently approved the construction of four gas-fired power plants in Quang Nam and Quang Ngai with total a capacity of 3,000MW using gas from the field.
The PM has also agreed to use part of the gas taken from the field to develop the oil refinery industry.
