The 148,000 barrel-a-day facility, which started commercial output in February, imported 1.45 million tons of crude oil in the period, according to the statement. Dung Quat refinery also sold 803,387 tons of its products, including LPG, propylene, gasoline, kerosene and diesel to the market, the company said.
The country’s first refinery was shut from August until Oct. 1 after problems developed with a gasoline making unit called a fluid catalytic cracker.
