April 06, 2026 [Hydrocarbon Processing]- Vietnam’s Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical said on Friday it is prioritizing the production of jet fuel to stabilize the domestic market amid supply disruption.
- Vietnamese aviation authorities said last week the country’s airlines were planning to cut their operations due to fuel shortage, according to state media.
- Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on Sunday told Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical LLC, the country’s other oil refinery, to reduce its production of petrochemicals to focus on fuels, especially jet fuel.
- Binh Son said it has been operating the kerosene treating unit (KTU) at 145% of design capacity since April 1.
- The unit is in charge of producing Jet A-1 fuel, it said.
- The unit already operated above design capacity in 2025, producing 509,042 metric tons of jet fuel, meeting 30% of domestic demand, Binh Son said.
