HÀ NỘI — The Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) posted VNĐ144.9 trillion (US$6.31 billion) in pre-tax profit during January-May, 2.3 times higher than the target for the period and triple that of the same spell in 2020.

At an online meeting on Tuesday, PetroVietnam General Director Lê Mạnh Hùng said in May and over the first five months, the group recorded positive outcomes in almost all fields.
