Gas reserves amounted to 24.2 trillion cubic feet (0.68 trillion cubic metres) and production was 30.9 billion cubic metres as the end of 2009.

VIETNAM OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
The oil and gas industry in Vietnam is under the control and management of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT). PetroVietnam Oil & Gas Group, the national oil and gas group reports directly to the Prime Minister and monopolises the upstream, mid-stream and virtually all key downstream areas of the industry. Its vision is to be the “Leading Petroleum Group in the region – The Vietnamese pride”
