Pacifico Energy and PTSC Initiate Offshore Wind Surveys in Vietnam

Pacifico Energy Vietnam Co., part of the U.S.-based Pacifico Energy Group, and the Vietnam Petroleum Technical Services Corporation (PTSC) have launched survey operations for two offshore wind power projects in Vietnam. This initiative marks a transition from regulatory approvals to actual technical assessments, with the survey ceremony held at PTSC Marine GS headquarters in Ho Chi Minh City.

The two projects include a 500 MW offshore wind project near Ho Chi Minh City and a 1,300 MW project off Lam Dong province. These developments are expected to attract over $6 billion in investments, positioning Pacifico Energy as a key player in Vietnam's offshore wind sector.

The survey will focus on geophysical and meteorological-oceanographic data collection, which is essential for future engineering designs and project development. The collaboration with PTSC, a leading provider of offshore engineering services in Vietnam, aims to leverage both international expertise and local capabilities, enhancing the participation of Vietnamese firms in the offshore wind supply chain.
