Vietnam's energy sector is anchored by PetroVietnam (PVN) — the state oil company operating the Bach Ho offshore field, Dung Quat (Binh Son) refinery (148,000 bpd) in Quang Ngai, and the Nghi Son Refinery & Petrochemical Complex (200,000 bpd, JV with Kuwait Petroleum). Nhon Trach LNG terminal (3 MTPA) and PVN's gas distribution network complete the picture.
Binh Son Refinery and Nghi Son Complex
Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical (BSR) at Dung Quat processes Vietnamese crude and requires API 600 gate valves, API 609 butterfly valves, and API 526 PSVs for refinery turnaround and expansion. Nghi Son (JV: PVN 25.1%, Kuwait Petroleum 35.1%, Idemitsu 35.1%, Mitsui 4.7%) uses predominantly JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) and API dual-stamped valves — Vajra can supply to API/ASME standards matching JIS equivalent specifications.
Valve Procurement in Vietnam
- PVN and BSR typically require API 6D (ball valves), API 600 (gate valves), API 609 (butterfly), API 598 (testing)
- Third-party inspection: Bureau Veritas or SGS Vietnam for PVN projects
- VINACOMIN (coal mining) — knife gate valves, butterfly valves for coal slurry
- Chemical plants (LSP, PVFCCo) — ASME B16.34 valves with EN 10204 3.1 MTCs
- Sea freight: Nhava Sheva → Ho Chi Minh City (Cat Lai) — 14–18 days; Hai Phong — 18–22 days
