Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) and Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Co., Ltd (BRS), operator of Dung Quat refinery, entered a joint cooperation agreement on pushing up the consumption of petroleum products of Dung Quat refinery.
According to the agreement, Petrolimex will give top priority to the sales of liquefied petroleum gas, petroleum and petrochemical products of Dung Quat refinery to meet the demands of production and business.

Besides, Petrolimex and BRS will cooperate to export products of Dung Quat refinery to Laos, Cambodia... as well as agree on rent and lease of commercial petroleum warehouses to transport goods to meet market demand.
After 7 years of operation, by the end of the first quarter of 2017, BRS has produced and sold more than 47 million tons of various kinds of its products, meeting 40 per cent of domestic petroleum demand.
BRS earned the revenue of US$36 billion with the profit up to VND15,000 billion (equivalent to US$661 million) counted as of Quarter I/2017 and contributed over US$7 billion to the state budget.
According to Nguyen Hoang Giang, Chairman of BRS, BRS will sell 4 percent of the company’s shares to the public in an IPO scheduled in November with an estimated amount of VND1.9 trillion (roughly US$84 million).
