Wood, a global leader in consulting and engineering, has secured a Front-End Engineering Design contract to enhance and increase fuel production at the Dung Quat Oil Refinery, located in Quang Ngai Province, Central Vietnam.
Under the contract with Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Joint Stock Company, Wood will undertake the upgrade and expansion of the state-owned refinery to boost throughput and ensure that fuels meet Euro V standards. This initiative is set to reduce emissions, align with environmental regulations, bolster Vietnam’s energy security, and contribute to improved air quality.
The upgrade and expansion of the Dung Quat Oil Refinery, scheduled for completion by 2028, forms part of Vietnam’s strategic plan to achieve full self-sufficiency in industrial and transport fuels, lower reliance on fuel imports, and safeguard the country’s future supply.
Henry Ling, senior vice president, Projects at Wood, noted: “Wood has supported BSR for over 30 years and we are honoured to be trusted to deliver this important project. Once the expansion is complete, this refinery will help bridge the gap between supply and demand for refined products in the domestic market.”
He added: “This award is testament to our proven track record of delivering complex refinery expansions and the capabilities of our global process specialists.”
Wood’s team in Thailand will oversee the delivery of the FEED scope, with specialist support provided by teams in Singapore and Reading, focusing on technology selection, licensing, processing, and advisory services.
