Mastering technology, constantly creating… is the “heart command” of Vietnamese oil and gas people. Mission across 60 years Referring to research, development and application of science and technology (Science and Technology) at PVN is a cross-cutting task in the process of formation and development of the Group. Resolution 41-NQ/TW of the Politburo on orientation “Strategy for development of Vietnam’s petroleum industry to 2025, vision to 2035”, as well as Resolution 55-NQ/TW on orientation “Strategy Vietnam’s national energy development to 2030 with a vision to 2045” emphasized: PVN must strengthen the application of scientific and technological advances in the search and increase of oil reserves, production and business. oil and gas, electricity, nitrogen, new energy (shale oil, gas hydrate, hydrogen gas…) to ensure national energy security. General objective PVN’s development strategy especially emphasizes the need to build strong scientific and technological potential with breakthrough solutions. This is considered the driving force and foundation for PVN to accelerate development and develop sustainably. Through 60 years of construction and growth, PVN has constantly improved its research and application potentials of science and technology, actively absorbed advanced techniques and technologies, and promoted creativity and efficiency of existing technologies to achieve level with oil and gas companies in the region and in the world. Hundreds of awards have been awarded for achievements in science and technology of the oil and gas industry, including noble awards such as 5 Ho Chi Minh Prizes & State Prizes in Science and Technology, many VIFOTECH awards… And during the year Currently, continuing to 6 most typical works and projects, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has also been nominated for the Ho Chi Minh Prize & the State Prize in Science and Technology. The Petroleum people who make applied scientific works have worked hard for many years, doing both expertise and research and experimentation. For example, the Cluster of Science and Technology Works “Research and develop technology for design, construction and installation of super-long and super-heavy marine oil and gas projects suitable to Vietnam’s conditions” was deployed and completed after more than 10 years. Research and application of technological solutions in collecting, processing and using associated gas in fields of Vietsovpetro LD Vietsovpetro and neighboring fields has been carried out and deployed continuously for 25 years.. .; the TBM-02 portable synthetic carota metering station system has been researched and manufactured for 21 years; the solutions to apply science and technology to optimize the production process of Dung Quat oil refinery plant are researched and completed. completed in 12 years;… Success of “poor children” The number of benefits and achievements of the above-mentioned scientific works for the Oil and Gas industry as well as for the country, it is easy to ignore the difficult starting factor… But in fact, few people know that starting At the beginning of these scientific works, the Oil and Gas people all embarked on the implementation with the mentality of “the poor children”. The success of PVN’s science and technology cannot be ignored without mentioning the cluster of works “Research and application of technological solutions in the collection, treatment and use of associated gas in fields of Vietsovpetro LD Vietsovpetro and neighboring fields”. . At that time, LD Vietsovpetro could only exploit oil at Bach Ho, but the technology at that time only exploited oil, and the associated gas had to be burned. Meanwhile, the country is seriously lacking electricity for economic development. That fact has prompted Vietsovpetro’s officers and engineers to research and carry out gas collection, transportation, processing and bringing the associated gas to shore for power generation and nitrogen fertilizer production. After oil exploitation, with breakthrough scientific and technological solutions, in the condition of lack of facilities, Vietsovpetro pioneered to bring companion gas from Bach Ho field to shore, creating a leap in the oil and gas industry. Vietnam, creating a foundation for the development of modern gas industry. The story of researching and manufacturing the TBM-02 portable synthetic carota metering station system is also a scientific and technological mark of PVN. In order not to be eliminated from the game of oil and gas services, the staffs of Vietsovpetro Wells Geophysics Enterprise have tried their best to learn and create new things, which are more technologically superior. In those years, Vietsovpetro experts and engineers have picked up equipment of the type “cannot be repaired, cannot be bought” to dissect, research, and then integrate their most preeminent features and manufacturing a general carota metering station costs only $5,000, less than 10% of the equipment price if it has to be imported from abroad. Especially impressed with the word “portable” in the research work made by the equipment of a Russian measuring station in the past, together with the corresponding combined equipment with a mass and weight of up to hundreds of kilograms. Now, Vietsovpetro’s engineers have created a general measuring station that can interpret geophysical data, measure oil-filled fractured rock foundations…weighing less than 10kg, compact as a personal computer multiply. The East Sea Oil and Gas Operating Company (BIENDONG POC) was assigned to research and implement the construction and manufacturing of large works of the East Sea 1 project. In which, the superstructure weighs 12,500 tons and the foot block. The 11,500-ton base of the Hai Thach housing and central technology platform (PQP-HT) are works with a volume exceeding many times that of previous constructions. This is a task that international monitoring and consulting experts consider impossible. However, PTSC Marine Mechanical Services Company (PTSC & MC) – the unit assigned the responsibility, overcame difficulties to complete the project after 2 years. Up to now, with the research, completion and application of the Science and Technology Complex, successful implementation of design, construction, manufacture and installation of super-heavy-heavy drilling rigs, PTSC&MC has become the only international EPCI contractor. of Vietnam to the world market. When Dung Quat Oil Refinery Plant was in operation, the team of engineers and staff of the factory were all apprentices, so they stumbled and problems were inevitable. Therefore, the initial product quality of NM was in a state of “fluttering”. At that time, PVN has determined that to improve the quality of NM operation is a long process. Accordingly, improvement and creativity right in the actual production and operation of the factory has become a regular and continuous action. Although the production and business results of Dung Quat Oil Refinery were not high in the first years, PVN still believes that the young staff and engineers will make efforts to improve the quality of plant operation. Over the past 12 years, more than 30 solutions and initiatives have been completed, increasing the factory capacity beyond design, ensuring product quality to the highest level. Currently, science and technology has been applied in all fields of production and business activities of the Group, especially research focusing on professional and specialized directions. The basic investigation of oil and gas has been actively deployed by PVN and the research results are considered as a reliable scientific basis, having important implications in formulating the development strategy of PVN. helping to make the right decisions and policies in production and business activities. The research, development, proposal and successful application of petroleum science and technology solutions not only bring great economic benefits to the country, but also make important contributions to the science and technology industry. oil and gas of Vietnam and the world. Those are eloquent demonstrations of the creative ability of oil and gas people – who always deserve to be entrusted with the belief to make the impossible possible.

Solar power is being encouraged to use, contributing to creating more clean energy sources, towards the goal of green and sustainable electricity development. Immediately after the Politburo issued Resolution 55-NQ / TW, on February 11, 2020 on the national energy development strategic orientation, the provincial People’s Committee directed the Department of Industry and Trade to coordinate with related agencies and units. research, advise and propose rooftop power development. Department of Industry and Trade proposed the Ministry of Industry and Trade to supplement the planning for 2 solar power plants in Viet Yen and Yen The; solar power projects in industrial zones and clusters with a total capacity of 2,320 MVA. Households in Luc Ngan district install solar power system on the roof. Photo provided by CTV. Mr. Nguyen Duc Hoan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade, informed that although power companies stopped connecting and purchased solar power in the case of installation after December 31, 2020, it is only temporary. In general, the State has a mechanism to develop solar power with many attractive policies such as: Buying solar power at high prices, purchasing time lasts 20 years, commercial banks facilitate maximum loans from 70 -80% value of solar power projects in a period of 5-8 years. With the above advantages, many individuals, businesses (DN) and units have been encouraged to take advantage of this energy source. By the end of December 31, 2020, the whole province had 607 customers installing rooftop solar power system with a total installed capacity of 15,936.46 kWp. In which, 10 are enterprises with a total installed capacity of more than 100 kWp or more, the rest are households and non-business units. It is known that since 2017, the province has implemented rooftop solar power development programs in a number of different forms, but mainly supported the installation of pilot models, demonstrations for the purpose of evaluation and replication. power saving; At the same time, it will support 10 state agencies to participate in the use of solar power in the near future. At this time, the Department is assigning the Center for Industrial Promotion and Trade Promotion to assist the People’s Committee of Luc Ngan district to install solar bulbs in the district People’s Committee square. The results and orientations of the province show that the development of solar power in the locality is increasing in both quantity and scale, especially in enterprises. This policy, in the immediate future, has brought about a clear effect, contributing to reducing the pressure, saving costs of developing transmission lines and using clean energy sources. Solve the expired solar battery problem The electricity obtained from the sun is clean energy, but when the solar panels expire, they become garbage, which is very dangerous. According to specialized agencies, the average service life of solar panels ranges from 10 to 20 years, depending on the location and the environment where it is installed. However, the handling of expired panels so far has not had a specific direction. A representative of the leadership of the Department of Industry and Trade – a permanent unit to advise on this content, said that in a written consultation with the Provincial People’s Committee on the development of rooftop power projects, the unit has not yet proposed specific measures for Dispose of the panels when the battery expires. By the end of December 31, 2020, the whole province had 607 customers installing rooftop solar power system, total installed capacity was 15,936.46 kWp. In which, 10 enterprises with a total installed capacity of more than 100 kWp or more, the rest are households and non-business units “. Mr. Nguyen Duc Hoan, Deputy Director of Department of Industry and Trade Discussing this issue with Mr. Nguyen Ba Trinh, an expert from the Department of Environmental Protection (Department of Natural Resources and Environment), it is known that the solar cell when its expiry date is hazardous waste. The disposal of this waste is very difficult, if not handled properly but burying in the wrong regulations, it will pollute the soil and water environment due to generation of heavy metals or toxic emissions. In the event of a fire the battery is capable of harming human health. There is only one unit in the province, Hoa Binh Industrial Waste Treatment and Recycling Joint Stock Company (Yen Dung) that is eligible to handle this type of waste, but the scale of treatment of the enterprise is small. Mr. Trinh also added that, according to Article 68 of the Law on Environmental Protection, the environmental protection responsibilities of owners of production, business and service establishments must “collect, classify, store, treat and dispose of. disposal of solid waste in accordance with the law ”, that is, the investor is responsible for handling the battery when it expires. Therefore, it may be worrisome that, after the expiration of its use term, households dispose of solar panels with domestic waste, do not hire the unit to collect, transport and dispose of it. Unattended authorities. Or the owner of the panel is not able to handle or dispose of the panel into the environment. Thus, solar power development associated with environmental sustainability has not been paid attention. New authorities focus on planning and encouraging expansion to reduce pressure on the national grid without giving specific solutions to handle solar cells when they expire. Some comments said that the functional agencies, especially the Department of Industry and Trade, the standing unit to advise on this content, should soon offer solutions to handle solar batteries after the expiration of use.
