Petrovietnam ties with Vietnam military firm on ammonia project

State oil and gas group Petrovietnam will establish a venture with a military firm under the defence ministry to produce ammonia that is expected to use natural gas from the disputed South China Sea as feedstock.
The venture, 60% owned by Petrovietnam and 40% by the Hanoi-based General Army of Economic and Technology (Gaet), aims to produce 450,000 tonnes of ammonia a year and also 200,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrite using natural gas, Petrovietnam said in a statement on Thursday.
It did not detail the gas supply but Petrovietnam has been taking natural gas and crude oil from offshore fields in the Cuu Long and Nam Con Son basins of the South China Sea. Ammonium nitrite and ammonia are used in fertiliser production.
