Thailand's SCG plans to pump billions into oil refinery at Long Son complex

The Thai Siam Cement Group (SCG) tabled its plans to pump around US$3.7 billion into an oil refinery at Long Son Petro-chemical Complex at a recent meeting between Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and the firm’s president Kan Trakulhoon.
SCG media executive Dinh Do Phu yesterday said the project had received support from the Prime Minister.
"SCG has already reached agreement with the local leading company PetroVietnam (Viet Nam Oil and Gas Group) to jointly carry out feasibility research for the project," Phu said. After completing the feasibility studies, the joint venture plans to submit more comprehensive project plans to the Government for approval, said Phu.
"Some $3.7 billion is set aside in the fund that SCG has earmarked for the project, while the counter capital from PetroVietnam is not known as we are planning further talks with each other," he said.
