Securing Long-Term LNG Supplies for Vietnam's Rising Energy Demand

The landmark agreement follows the successful conclusion of PV GAS's first term procurement package initiated in late 2025. This deal represents the first time a mid-term LNG supply contract has been secured for the Vietnamese market, positioning PV GAS as the nation's pioneer in adopting international standards for long-term fuel negotiations.

Shell Eastern LNG was selected as the supplier through a highly competitive international bidding process that drew interest from the world's top energy conglomerates. This follows Shell's delivery of Vietnam's inaugural commissioning LNG cargo for the Thi Vai LNG Terminal back in July 2023, which officially kicked off the country's LNG import era.

Global energy giant Shell brought substantial experience to the table, having delivered over 72.9 million tons of LNG globally in 2025. Industry analysts note that securing a partner of this caliber underscores Vietnam's growing attractiveness in the global energy market and elevates PV GAS's commercial standing on the international stage.

The strategic fuel supply will directly power domestic electricity production and industrial operations, actively supporting the government's mandate to diversify energy sources. Moving forward, PV GAS plans to expand its infrastructure and optimize its supply chain to integration deeper into regional and global LNG networks.
