Vietnam and Russian Federation signed on December 27th, 2010 to continue the co-operation in the petroleum exploration and production in Vietnam.

White Tiger field, in particular, was discovered with huge oil-reserves and a major concentration of oil and gas in the granite-basement reservoir, a very rare phenomenon in the world.

All constructions are integrated into a continuous technological systems through hundreds of kilometers of cables and 750 kilometers of inter-connected infield subsea pipes.

By the end 2017, Vietsovpetro has exploited over 228-million tons of crude-oil, gathered and transported back-to-shore over 32.5-billion cubic-meters of gas, produced over 77-billion USD in turnover, of which 48-billion USD is returned back to State Budget and Vietnamese profits.

With these achievements, Vietsovpetro is now recognized as the most effective and efficient venture in the field of petroleum exploration and production in Vietnam, considered a great contributor to the economy of Vietnam, and awarded the Hero of Labour title in New age, Ho Chi Minh and Gold Star Order by Vietnamese Government.
