The port city of Hai Phong in Vietnam has approved a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project for power generation, expected to be developed by U.S. supermajor ExxonMobil and to cost US$5.09 billion.
50억 불 규모 베트남 엑슨 LNG 프로젝트 승인 베트남 하이퐁 항만시는 미국의 초대형 엑손모빌이 개발하고 50억9000만 달러가 소요될 것으로 예상되는 발전용 액화천연가스(LNG) 프로젝트를 승인했다. 하이퐁시 인민위원회는 2026년 또는 2027년에 전력생산을 시작할 것으로 예상되는 이 사업을 승인했다고 로이터통신이 베트남 도시의 성명을 인용해 28일 보도했다.
올해 6월 응우옌 쑤언푹 베트남 총리는 이르티자 사예드 엑손모빌 LNG시장개발 사장에게 베트남은 미국의 초대형 동남아 국가 투자 계획을 환영한다고 말했다. 엑손은 베트남 LNG-to-power 플랜트 개발을 위한 신규 프로젝트 투자 가능성을 모색하고 있다고 당시 현지 정부는 밝혔다. 2025~2030년 발전이 시작될 수 있는 하이퐁의 4GW급 LNG 대 발전소와 롱안 메콩 델타 지방의 3GW급 가스화력발전단지 등이 계획안에 포함됐다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 Ki Chul Hwang Conpaper editor curator |

The people’s committee of the city of Hai Phong approved the project which is expected start electricity generation in 2026 or 2027, Reuters reported on Friday, citing a statement from the Vietnamese city.
The power plant is expected to have an initial capacity of 2.25 gigawatts (GW) when it becomes operational. Capacity will be doubled to 4.5 GW by 2029-2030, the city of Hai Phong said.
In June this year, Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc told Irtiza Sayyed, President of ExxonMobil LNG Market Development, that Vietnam welcomes the U.S. supermajor’s plans to invest in the Southeast Asian country.
Exxon is exploring the possibility of investing in new projects to develop LNG-to-power plants in Vietnam, the local government said at the time. The plans included a 4-GW LNG-to-power plant in Hai Phong, which could start generating power between 2025 and 2030, and a 3-GW gas-fired power complex in the Mekong Delta province of Long An.

While LNG-to-power projects led by Exxon in Vietnam could become reality only in the latter half of this decade, the U.S. oil giant is doubling down in the more immediate future on its operations in Guyana—one of its key focus areas.
Earlier this week, Exxon made the final investment decision on the Payara offshore oilfield in Guyana. Payara is expected to yield up to 220,000 bpd of crude oil when commercial production begins in 2024.
This would be the third offshore development project of the supermajor in Guyana, which rose to fame thanks to a string of discoveries in the Stabroek block made by Exxon and its partner Hess Corp. So far, the discovered recoverable resources in the block have been estimated at more than 8 billion barrels of oil equivalent.
