Aramco and Petrovietnam sign Collaboration Framework Agreement

Aramco has signed a Collaboration Framework Agreement with Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam). The agreement was formalised during an official visit by the Prime Minister of Vietnam, H.E. Pham Minh Chinh, to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The agreement was signed during the FII 8th Edition in Riyadh with a view to identifying potential opportunities to optimize operations and unlock additional value. It paves the way for potential cooperation spanning the storage, supply and trading of energy and petrochemical products.

Mohammed Y. Al Qahtani, Aramco Downstream President, said: “This agreement lays the foundation for potential collaboration across the hydrocarbon value chain. We look forward to exploring multiple opportunities with Petrovietnam that complement Aramco’s global downstream ambitions, contribute to Petrovietnam’s own strategy, and reinforce Asia’s importance in global energy and petrochemicals markets.”

Le Ngoc Son, Petrovietnam CEO, said: “The signing of the Collaboration Framework Agreement between Petrovietnam and Aramco is a strategic step, which is evidence of the strong cooperative relationship between Petrovietnam and Aramco in particular, and between the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in general.”
