Implementation of Vietnam projects is one of the priorities of Rosnefts international strategy. Over 15 years the Company produced 53.5 Bcm of gas at Vietnam offshore fields and supplied 20% of feedstock for power generating facilities of the country.

In 2018 Rosneft Vietnam plans to drill another three wells as part of development of Vietnam offshore projects. Two production wells will be drilled at Block 06.1 aiming at development of prospective areas of Phong Lan Dai and Lan Do fields. One exploration well will also be drilled at the adjacent Block 05-3/11 also located in Nam Kon Son basin.

Combining two wells into one drilling program will generate synergy between the two projects, help cut back the duration of drilling works and allow maximizing the efficiency of exploration projects in Rosneft's Vietnamese assets.

Development of offshore fields in one of the most dynamically growing countries of the Asian-Pacific Region is a good example of high-tech cooperation between Rosneft and international partners.
