Abstract

The paper presents the detailed data of gas demand for power, fertilizer and other industries in Vietnam during 2011–2015, as well as forecasted data for 2016–2025 and 2026–2035 phases. The results demonstrate that the domestic gas industry cannot meet the market requirement, the inadequacy is estimated of 30%. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal installation for import is considered as a feasible solution to the problem. However, the major barrier is that the gas pipeline system is discrete in the whole country, the configuration of LNG receiving terminal must be therefore selected and designed reasonably. By analysis, Vietnamese LNG market is a high potential in 2016–2035 phase.
