Background

In 2011 PetroVietnam announced a 3 million mtpa LNG terminal at Son My in southern Vietnam.

In 2015 PetroVietnam Gas submitted a feasibility study for the Son My terminal in Binh Thuan central province. The project was expected to have a capacity of 3.6 million tons per year by 2020, which would be raised to 6 million tons per year by 2025 and 10 million tons per year after 2025.

In March of 2018 the Vietnamese government announced that EDF Energy would lead an international consortium in charge of the project. EDF will hold a 37.5 per cent stake in the project and is the leader of the consortium, which comprises Vietnam's Pacific Corp. (25 per cent) and Japanese partners Sojitz (18.75 per cent) and Kyushu (18.75 per cent). As of March 2018, Vietnam is targeting to build the Son My terminal, with a capacity of 1 million-3 million mt/year, between 2023 and 2025, as part of the government's 2035 gas market development master plan. The 2,000-MW Son My 1 project in the Binh Thuan coastal province is expected to be commissioned by 2023-2024.

The terminal will be used to fuel the Son My power station.
