In 2025, PV GAS is expected to face unprecedented difficulties and challenges with domestic gas supply continuing to decrease sharply in the context of new gas sources not yet available; the demand for gas consumption to serve electricity production and industries is very unstable. Brent oil prices are forecast to decline compared to 2024; investment activities are forecast to face difficulties; mechanisms and policies for gas industry development have not been completed;... The success in 2024 is both a pressure and motivation for each employee of PV GAS in 2025 to continue to prove themselves and contribute to the overall achievements of the company.
