The company exceeded the output target of 2.92 million tonnes of oil in the first six months of 2016, which was set by the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) thanks to the adjustment of oil prices. 
It extracted 2.23 million tonnes of oil and 690 million cubic metres of gas in the period, surpassing the set goals by 4 percent and 11 percent, respectively. 
The PVEP will continue to arrange capital resources for exploratory activities while drilling more fields to extract an additional one million tonnes of oil.
