Hanoi (VNA) – More than 2 trillion VND (86.2 million USD), or 40-50 percentof the budget of the southernmost province of Ca Mau, is contributed by the CaMau Gas-Power-Fertiliser Complex each year, a recent meeting heard.
The Ca Mau Gas-Power-Fertiliser Complex,inaugurated in October 2012, is jointly operated by the PetroVietnam Gas JSC(PV Gas), the PetroVietnam Power Corporation, and the PetroVietnam Ca Mau FertiliserJSC.
It is comprised of three projects covering morethan 200ha in the Khanh An commune of U Minh district.
The first project is the PM3-Ca Mau gas pipelinecarrying gas from the PM3-CAA gas well (in the overlapping area between Vietnamand Malaysia in the Gulf of Thailand) and Block 46-Cai Nuoc (off the coast ofVietnam) to the complex to produce electricity and fertiliser.
The other projects are the Ca Mau No. 1 and 2gas power plants with a combined capacity of 1,500MW, and the Ca Mau fertiliserplant with the designed output of 800,000 tonnes per year.
A report at the meeting, which reviewed thecoordination in operating the complex, said that the PM3-Ca Mau pipeline, putinto use by PV Gas in 2007, has supplied about 2 billion cubic metres of gaseach year. The two gas power plants have generated over 7 percent of theelectricity output nationwide. Meanwhile, 40 percent of total urea output inVietnam is produced by the fertiliser factory of the complex.
A gas processing plant has also been unveiled inthe complex this year. In the first six months of 2018, it manufactured nearly79,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas and over 3,600 tonnes of condensate,up 42 percent and 15 percent from the planned figures, respectively.
At the meeting, participants pointed outproblems and solutions to ensure smoother operation at the Ca MauGas-Power-Fertiliser Complex.
