Vietnam National Petroleum Corporation (Petrovietnam) announced the discovery of two new oil and gas fields, Rong and Bunga Aster, on May 6, 2024, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the historic Dien Bien Phu victory (May 7).
Rong Oilfield is located in Area 09-1, near the R79 oil well. Preliminary assessments show that oil reserves in the area will increase to 16.5 million barrels.
