Aberdeen oil services company Wood has been awarded a front-end engineering design contract for cleaner, increased fuel production at a refinery in central Vietnam.
Under this contract with Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Joint Stock Company, Wood will upgrade and expand the state-owned Dung Quat Oil Refinery in Quang Ngai Province to increase throughput and ensure fuels comply with Euro V specifications.
The Scottish company said: “This will ultimately reduce emissions, meeting environmental regulations, enhancing Vietnam’s energy security and protecting air quality.”

Henry Ling, senior vice-president, projects at Wood, said: “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 (front-end engineering design )scope with specialist support from Singapore and Reading on technology selection, licensing, processing and advisory.”
