Vietsovpetro discovers oil near Bach Ho field
Vietsovpetro has found oil in Mioxen layer in the northeastern part of Bach Ho oilfield offshore southern Vietnam, said its Geological Deputy General Director Tran Hoi.
The discovery is of special significance to Vietsovpetro, a joint venture between the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) and Russia's JSC Zarubezhneft, on its 30th founding anniversary, said Hoi.
At present, Vietsovpetro is making an assessment for the new oil reserve and an exploitation scheme, he added.
