If one day traditional oil sources are interrupted, will BSR hold the key to ensuring Vietnam's energy security?
On July 10, 2026, Vietnam Refining and Petrochemical Corporation BSR, a member unit of Petrovietnam, said it had successfully researched and processed two new types of raw materials, bringing the total number of types of crude oil and raw materials that can be processed at Dung Quat Oil Refinery to 40 types. This is considered an important step in the strategy of diversifying raw material supplies, helping businesses increase their proactiveness in facing fluctuations in the world oil market.
Expanding the "crude oil basket" is not simply adding more input materials but also demonstrating the capacity of BSR engineers to research, evaluate crude oil characteristics and optimize operating technology. When it can process many different types of oil, the factory will be more flexible in choosing import sources according to price and geopolitical situation, thereby reducing the risk of supply chain disruption.

Benefits Impact
Diverse oil sources Reduce dependence on one supply area
Cost optimization You can choose more competitively priced crude oil
Flexible operation Adjust mix according to market conditions
Energy security Reduces the risk of raw material shortages when the market fluctuates
In recent years, BSR has continuously expanded its ability to process many types of imported crude oil in addition to domestic oil sources. At the same time, the business also invests in research into new fuel lines such as E10 biofuel, sustainable marine fuel SMFO and biodiesel, demonstrating the orientation of both ensuring traditional supply sources and gradually converting to clean energy.
In the context of world oil prices continuously fluctuating due to geopolitical conflicts and shipping risks, the ability to receive many types of crude oil will help Dung Quat Oil Refinery respond faster to fluctuations in the international market, while contributing to stabilizing petroleum supply in the future.g water.
