Central Phu Yen province will allow the planned Vung Ro oil refineryproject to increase its investment capital from 1.7 billion USD to 3.18billion USD.
This will double the oil refinery's annual outputto eight million tonnes. Construction is due to start this quarter andbe completed in four years.
Since the project was licensed in2007, the investor – British Virgin Islands' Technostar Management Ltd–decided to increase investment based on market demand.
The oilrefinery would be built in Hoa Tam Industrial Zone, in Nam Phu YenEconomic Zone, instead of on more than 185ha in Hoa Tam and Hoa Xuan Namcommunes.
