Petrovietnam - Science, Technology and Innovation Volume 6/2025
In line with the Strategy for Science and Technology Development, Innovation, and Digital Transformation to 2030, with a vision to 2050, the Vietnam National Industry - Energy Group (Petrovietnam) has set a goal to bring its scientific and technological capability, innovation capacity, and digital transformation maturity to a regional advanced level across multiple key areas, with some of which attaining international standards by 2030. Science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation are identified as new drivers of growth, which will help enhance labor productivity and competitiveness. These pillars will play a decisive role in enabling Petrovietnam to achieve sustainable double-digit growth, strengthen its overall capability, adopt modern governance practices, attain regional and international competitiveness, and secure its position among the world’s top 500 companies (Fortune Global 500).
This Petrovietnam Special Issue on Science, Technology and Innovation presents results of the application of geomechanical methods in combination with wireline log data to predict sand production in weakly consolidated formations at Blocks 01&02, Cuu Long basin. The study proposes solutions to optimize well completion design, sand control strategies, and perforation planning, thereby enhancing production efficiency and mitigating operational risks in the Cuu Long basin. The Special Issue also features a study evaluating the performance of modified acid systems (CKP+ and GKP+) for acidizing sandstone formations in Bach Ho field, offering cost-effective solutions to improve well productivity and sustain long-term hydrocarbon recovery. Furthermore, a comprehensive research on technological solutions for associated gas gathering, transportation, and offshore field interconnection has opened new approaches to enhancing resource utilization efficiency, thus enabling an associated gas recovery rate of over 90%.
In addition, this Special Issue presents solutions to increase the flash point of DCO products to meet Dung Quat Refinery's FO (FP) standards, while also highlighting research on converting agricultural by-products into microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) for PLA-based biodegradable plastic production, thereby contributing to the diversification of petrochemical products toward sustainability. The Special Issue further analyzes the effectiveness of greenhouse gas and SO₂ emission reductions achieved through fuel conversion measures, along with the application of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology using DEF solutions to reduce NOx emissions from diesel engines, demonstrating Petrovietnam's strong commitment to the energy transition.
In implementing the Development Strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2050, Petrovietnam is firmly focusing its resources on core business areas while strategically advancing the LNG value chain, developing the offshore wind power ecosystem, restructuring the downstream sector, and laying the groundwork for nuclear power development - thereby supporting the energy transition and reinforcing the national energy security.
Entering 2026, the Editorial Board envisions the Petrovietnam Special Issue on Science, Technology and Innovation continuing to serve as a reputable scientific forum, contributing solutions in management, governance, and technology. Through this role, the Special Issue supports the development of 5 priority areas: international business operations, scientific research, digital transformation, digital data infrastructure development, and new product development, creating long-term growth potential for Petrovietnam.
