If Dung Quat Oil Refinery had never been built, would Vietnam today still depend almost entirely on imported fuel and face the risk of losing energy security every time the world changes?

BSR is not simply a petrochemical refining enterprise. This is the operating unit of Dung Quat Oil Refinery, a key national industrial project that has completely changed the economic appearance of Quang Ngai and laid the foundation for Vietnam's refining and petrochemical industry.

From the sandy beaches of the Central region, Dung Quat has become a strategic energy center, contributing to ensuring the supply of petroleum for the economy of more than 100 million people.

A Journey of More Than 30 Years From Idea to Reality

Milestone Phase
1977 - 1991 Formed a strategy to develop Vietnam's refining and petrochemical industry
1992 - 1996 Surveyed many locations to build the first oil refinery
1997 - 1998 Vietnam decided to invest in the project itself
1999 - 2003 Cooperated with Zarubezhneft of Russia
2003 - 2005 Established Dung Quat Project Management Board
2005 - 2010 Construction implementation with total investment capital of about 2.501 billion USD
2011 - Now BSR operates and owns the technology

It is worth noting that in the early stages, many international experts were skeptical of Vietnam's ability to operate a modern oil refining complex with complex technology.top of the world.

Reality has proven the opposite.

BSR's Strategic Role

Indicator Meaning
The first oil refinery laid the foundation for Vietnam's refining and petrochemical industry
Training center Training thousands of energy engineers
Dynamics of the Central region Promoting industrialization of Quang Ngai
Energy security Ensuring domestic fuel supply
Green transition Research into biofuels and new energy

In the context of many countries facing energy crises following global geopolitical fluctuations, the role of BSR is becoming increasingly important.

Comparison with Regional Oil Refining Centers

National prominent oil refining center
Vietnam Dung Quat
Singapore Jurong Island
Thailand Map Ta Phut
Malaysia RAPID Johor
Korea Ulsan

Although its scale is not yet comparable to Singapore's Jurong Island or Malaysia's RAPID Johor, Dung Quat is gradually asserting its position as one of the most important energy centers in Southeast Asia.

Current Operating System

The current General Director of BSR is Mr. Nguyen Viet Thang and a team of senior leaders in charge of the fields of operations, engineering, investment, finance and digital transformation.

This is the force that is leading the business in its expansion into new fields such as:

✔ SAF sustainable aviation fuel

✔ Green Hydrogen

✔ CCUS captures and stores carbon

✔ Convert factory numbers

✔ Energy innovation center

Core Values Create Success

BSR builds corporate culture based on the principles:

Integrity

Specialized nkarma

Creative innovation

Cooperation

The Future of BSR

Vietnam is entering the most powerful energy transition period in history.

As the world pushes to reduce carbon emissions, demand for fuels and petrochemicals will continue to grow for decades to come.

That means BSR is not just a traditional oil refining enterprise but is transforming into an integrated energy enterprise, participating in green fuels, high-value petrochemicals and innovation.

From a project that once caused debate for decades, Dung Quat today has become a symbol of the Vietnamese people's ability to master heavy industrial technology.

The question is, after Dung Quat's success, can Vietnam continue to build new "super energy centers" capable of competing with Singapore, Malaysia and South Korea in the next 20 years?
