Vietnam’s Dung Quat tests Nigerian crudes, Indonesian Minas next in supply search

摘要

Singapore—In a search for feedstock amid faltering domestic crude production, Vietnam state-run Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical, or BSR, recently successfully processed two Nigerian grades in test runs and now Indonesian Minas grade has emerged on its radar. BSR successfully processed two Nigerian crude grades at the 148,000 b/d Dung Quat refinery in central Vietnam in February and early March, a company official told S&P Global Platts. During the feedstock test runs in its main CDU, light sweet Nigerian Qua Iboe crude and Cabinda were mixed with staple domestic grades in roughly 30:10:60 proportion.
