Forecast: Oil Production in Vietnam

In 2023, Vietnam's oil production stood at 9.01 million metric tons. Analyzing the data shows a consistent decline in production from 16.91 million metric tons in 2013, indicating a prolonged downtrend over the years. Over the last two years, there has been a year-on-year decrease of 1.24% in 2022 and 3.62% in 2023. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the past five years reflects a negative trend of -6.21%, corresponding to significant annual reductions in production.

The forecasted figures from 2024 to 2028 predict a continued decline, chiefly driven by decreased output from aging oil fields and limited new exploration. The forecasted five-year CAGR stands at -1.71%, pointing to a gradual but sustained reduction in production. By 2028, the production is expected to decline to 8.01 million metric tons, depicting an overall reduction of 8.25% from 2023 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for:

• Technological advancements and investments in enhanced oil recovery techniques could influence production levels.
• Government policies and international partnerships might play a role in rejuvenating exploration activities.
• Global oil market dynamics, including demand fluctuations and oil price volatility, will significantly impact Vietnam's production outlook.
