Can the largest gas and power project in the history of Vietnam's oil and gas industry completely change the national energy map and generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue for decades to come?
Vietnam is entering an important phase of one of the largest energy projects ever implemented. That is the Block B - O Mon gas power project chain with a total estimated investment capital of more than 12 billion USD, stretching from the southwest coast to the O Mon Power Center in Can Tho.
This is not simply a gas exploitation project but a complete energy ecosystem including upstream, midstream and downstream, expected to become a pillar of ensuring national energy security for decades.

Upstream
Exploiting gas from Block B field offshore southwest Vietnam.
Midstream
The gas pipeline system is hundreds of kilometers long, bringing gas from the sea to the mainland.
⚡ Downstream
Providing fuel for O Mon gas power plant cluster.
PROJECT OVERVIEW TABLE
Category Size
Total investment capital: About 12 billion USD
Gas reserves More than 100 billion m3
Exploitation time Over 20 daysum
Southwestern mining area of Vietnam
O Mon consumption center - Can Tho
Fuel type Natural Gas
WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF 2.207 BILLION USD BEING MENTIONED?
According to many industry reports, O Mon I Thermal Power Plant alone will benefit significantly when Block B gas source officially comes into operation.
The expected economic value of about 2,207 billion USD reflects the amount of revenue and economic efficiency that can be generated from stable gas sources in the future.
If converted at the exchange rate of about 26,000 VND/USD in 2026
2.207 billion USD ≈ 57,382,000,000,000 VND
That is more than 57 trillion VND.
This number is equivalent
️ Investment budget for many large provincial infrastructure projects
The cost of building many large-scale industrial plants
⚡ Value enough to operate the electricity system serving millions of households
WHY LOT B – O MON IS CALLED A HISTORICAL PROJECT
For many years, Vietnam has continuously faced pressure to grow electricity demand.
VIETNAM ELECTRICITY DEMAND TABLE
Year of Demand Growth
2020 About 8%
2022 About 9%
2024 About 10%
2026 Continues to increase strongly
Meanwhile, many traditional power sources are facing difficulties.
⚠️ Hydropower depends on the weather
⚠️ Coal is subject to environmental pressure
⚠️ Renewable energy depends on natural conditions
Natural gas is viewedis an intermediate solution to help ensure stable ground electricity.
POSITION OF LOT B IN THE AREA
Compared to large gas and power projects in Southeast Asia, Block B - O Mon belongs to a group of very large-scale projects.

Malampaya Philippines
JDA Gas Project Malaysia - Thailand
Natuna Gas Indonesia
These projects all play a strategic role in ensuring national energy security.
IMPACT ON VIETNAM'S ECONOMY
When the gas-electricity chain becomes fully operational, the benefits lie not only in electricity output.
✅ Increase budget revenue
✅ Create thousands of high-tech jobs
✅ Promote supporting industries
✅ Reduce dependence on imported fuel
✅ Attract new industrial investment
In particular, the Mekong Delta region will become the new energy center of the country.
⚡ WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN 2027
If progress is assured, 2027 could mark when the first commercial gas flows from Block B are introduced into the national power system.
It's not just a technical event.
It was also a milestone marking Vietnam's opening of an "energy treasure" deep under the West Sea after many years of preparation.
Many experts believe that this may be one of the reasonsThe project has the greatest impact on Vietnam's electricity industry since the period of strong development of the Phu My and Ca Mau gas power clusters.
A question that is being debated a lot in energy circles
If Block B gas resources operate as expected, can Vietnam significantly reduce its dependence on coal power in the next decade?
