According to a tender document posted on the company’s website, the cargoes will be delivered from March to May 2025 with a total quantity of 14,200,000 MMBtu.
“The specific delivery window for each LNG cargo shall be written in the term sheet,” PV Gas said.
PV Gas launched the tender on January 13, and it closes on January 16 at 9:00 am Vietnam time.
Before this tender, PV Gas launched a tender in September 2024 seeking one LNG cargo for delivery in October and in November seeking a partial cargo for delivery from December 20, 2024, to January 5, 2025.
In June 2024, PV Gas received one cargo from PetroChina International at its Thi Vai LNG import terminal.
This was the second LNG cargo PV Gas received from PetroChina and the fifth since the terminal’s launch in 2023.
The company officially launched its Thi Vai LNG terminal on October 29, 2023, after nearly 4 years of construction and commissioning.
This is Vietnam’s first LNG import terminal.
In July 2023, LNG giant Shell delivered the commissioning LNG cargo to the terminal from Indonesia’s Bontang LNG plant.
Besides Shell and PetroChina, PV Gas received cargoes from a unit of France’s TotalEnergies and from QatarEnergy LNG, previously known as Qatargas.
The Thi Vai LNG import facility consists of one 180,000-cbm LNG tank, a jetty, and regas area.
The terminal has a capacity of 1 mtpa in its first phase, but PV Gas plans to boost the capacity to 3 mtpa in the next stage.
Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 LNG power plants
PetroVietnam Power, a unit of state-owned PetroVietnam, just announced that it has fired up its Nhon Trach 3 LNG power plant.
In November 2021, PV Power broke ground on the Nhon Trach 3 and 4 plants in the southern province of Dong Nai, which are worth about $1.4 billion.
Vietnam’s first LNG power plants will have a total capacity of 1.5 GW, according to PV Power.
PV Power said that the company and PV Gas are still working to sign the final gas supply agreement for these plants.
The two firms are taking the final steps to sign the GSA, ensuring a long-term and stable gas source for future operations, it said.
In November last year, PV Gas signed a contract with PV Power to supply the commissioning LNG cargo for the latter’s Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 power plants.
