PV GAS to exceed 2023’s H1’s targets with profit before tax reaching over VND 7.5 trillion.

PV GAS’s targets in 2023’s first half were reported to be exceeded. In particular, its output and revenue came out transcending respectively about 3-19% and 13-17% of what was planned, leading to an 81-83% increase in profit before and after tax compared to the targeted ones. As a result, PV GAS’s contribution to the National budget reached 57-60% higher than its target.

The company received more than 4.1 billion m3 of wet gas as well as produced and supplied nearly 4.0 billion m3 of dry gas, 46.4 thousand tons of condensate and 1.1 million tons of LPG (of which more than 0.3 million was exported and internationally traded). Its gross revenue in this year’s H1 reached over VND 45.7 trillion with profit before and after tax of above VND 7.5 trillion and 6.0 trillion successively, of which more than VND 3.1 trillion was contributed to the National budget.
