Wood, a global leader in consulting and engineering, has been awarded a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for cleaner, increased fuel production at the Dung Quat Oil Refinery in Quang Ngai Province, Central Vietnam.
Under this contract with Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Joint Stock Company (BSR), Wood will upgrade and expand the state-owned refinery to increase throughput and ensure fuels comply with Euro V specifications. This will ultimately reduce emissions, meeting environmental regulations, enhancing Vietnam’s energy security and protecting air quality.
The expansion and upgrade of Dung Quat, due to be completed by 2028, is part of Vietnam’s long-term strategy to become fully self-sufficient in industrial and transport fuels, reduce fuel imports and ensure the country’s future security of supply.
Henry Ling, Senior Vice President, Projects at Wood, commented: “Wood has supported BSR for over 30 years and we are honoured to be trusted to deliver this important project. Once expansion is complete, this refinery will help bridge the gap between supply and demand for refined products in the domestic market.
“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 deliver the FEED scope with specialist support from Singapore and Reading on technology selection, licensing, processing and advisory.
