ExxonMobil continues preparatory work for Gas project in Vietnam - spokesperson

HANOI - ExxonMobil is continuing preparatory work for Ca Voi Xanh (Blue Whale) gas project in Vietnam, a company spokesperson said on Monday.

Last month, ExxonMobil board was debating seawhether to continue with several major oil and gas projects, including the project in Vietnam, amid a push from investors for fossil fuel companies to be more cost-conscious and green-energy friendly.

"We completed front-end engineering and design for the project in May 2020, and are working on the final development plan," the spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
