US$), (2012) 2,575 Ba Ria Vung Tau is located in the Southern Key Economic Zone. The province shares its border with Dong Nai Province to the north: 116 km, Binh Thuan Province to the east: km, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) to the west: km, and the East Sea to the south east: km. The coast length is km with over 100,000 km 2 of continental shelf. Despite accounting only 0.6% and 1.2% in terms of area and population as of the whole country, BR VT Province creates 11% GDP and nearly 27% of national budget revenue. 2 The provincial key economic activity is oil and gas production. The continental shelf of BR VT waters is estimated to contain 1.5 billion tons of oil and 1,000 billion m 3 of gas; thus the province has become the oil and gas centre of Vietnam and is home to gas-fuelled industries like electricity, liquefied petroleum gas, fertiliser, steel and construction materials. There are many large oil fields of commercial value such as Bach Ho (the largest in Vietnam), Rong, Dai Hung, Rang Dong. Consequently, oil export contributes an important part in the provincial GDP. BR-VT is the center of energy, heavy industry, tourism, and sea ports of the whole country. At present, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province has eight power plants with a combined capacity 4,224 MW and accounts for nearly 40 percent of the country s electricity production. Phu My Power Center and Ba Ria Power Plant (4,000 MW on nearly 10,000 MW of the country). Heavy industries include production of nitrogenous urea fertilizer (800,000 tons/year), polyetylen (100,000 tons/year), steel. 3 The province s deepwater seaport system with a designed capacity of 250 million tons a year is the national general port and an international gateway port capable of receiving vessels of 160,000 DWT. Goods exported from Thi Vai - Cai Mep Port are shipped directly to the United States, other countries and territories around the world without via transit ports. The deepwater seaport system creates advantages for BR VT to develop commercial services, industry and import and export activities Population 5 Please see Annex 1: Population of BR VT Province, 1995, , page 13. According to the Population Census on 1/4/2011, the population is 1,027,200 with a population density of 516 people/km².

Narrow deltas, mountains, hills, mounds, continental shelf characterize the provincial topography. However, there are some mountains at the coast, of which the highest is about 500m. The mainland (accounting for 96% of provincial area) belongs to the step of Di Linh plateau. There are 4 main zones: (i) islands, (ii) peninsula, (iii) mountainous and hilly semi-midland, (iv) valley and coastal deltas. The continental shelf covers an area of over 100,000 km 2 The narrow Vung Tau peninsula stretches for km, with an average elevation of 3-4 m. Islands comprise the Con Lon and Lon Son archipelago. The Con Son archipelago (accounting for 4% of provincial area) consists of 12 islands of various size, of which the largest Con Son, 180 kms from Vung Tau, has an area 57.5km 2 The mountainous and hilly semi-midland is located in the north and northeast, mostly in districts of Tan Thanh, Chau Duc, and Xuyen Moc. The valley and coastal deltas comprise a part of districts of Tan Thanh, Long Đien, Ba Ria, and Dat Do where there are paddy fields alternating with low hills and coastal sand beaches. Mountains, hills, and low valleys cover 3/4 of the provincial area. There are 50 mountains having height over 100 m, creating many bays, peninsulas, and islands. Mountains with height from 400 to 500 m are Trinh, Chua, Thanh Gia

5 Climate Ba Ria Vung Tau lies in the tropical monsoon region under ocean effects. The average temperature is about 27 o C and its variation is slight throughout the year. Hours of sunlight vary from 2,370 to 2,850 and distribute regularly throughout the year. The average annual rainfall is about 1,600 mm and distributes irregularly, forming two distinct seasons: rainy season from May to November, accounting 90% of the annual rainfall, the remaining 10% concentrates in dry season and remaining months of the year. The weather is cool in general, suitable for tourism and favorable for long-term industrial plants such as pepper, cashew, rubber plant and a diversified forestry. 3 Resources 3.1 Land resources The natural area is 1,989 km 2 or 198,900 ha, of which - Highly fertile soil, mainly alluvial and gray soil : 19.6% 38,984 ha - Good quality soil: 26.4% 52,510 ha - Average quality soil: 14.4% 28,642 ha - Remaining soil, saline and acidic soil, eroded soil: 39.6% 78,764 ha The soil category of significant importance for agriculture accounts for 60%, comprising alluvial, soil, gray soil, black soil, and red-yellow soil. Such advantage permits a strong agricultural development. Plant 8 Rubber Coffee Cashew Pepper Fruit tree Area (ha) 19,150 12,000 12,360 2,400 7, Water resources The surface water of Ba Ria Vung Tau is provided mainly by three big rivers, i.e. Thi Vai River, Dinh River, and Ray River with respective lengths of 25-km, 30 km, and 120 km crossing the province. Besides, the underground water is abundant, with a daily exploiting volume of 70,000m 3 /day-night, concentrating in three main areas, i.e. Ba Ria Long Dien: 20,000 m 3 /daynight, Phu My My Xuan: 25,000 m 3 /day-night, and Long Dat Long Đien m 3 /daynight. Other usable underground water of 10,000m 3 /day-night volume is scattered elsewhere in the province. The underground water exploitation is relatively easy because it is at a depth of 60-90m, having a flowing volume 10-20m 3 /second. The entire underground water can provide 500,000m 3 /day-night, ensuring sufficient water for agriculture, industry, and living. Ba Ria Vung Tau Province has a coast of 305 km, of which 70 km can be used as bathing beach. Gianh Rai bay is about 50 km 2, suitable for maritime port building. The continental shelf of over 100,000 km 2 has about 661 species of fish, 35 species of shrimp, 23 species of squid, and thousand species of seaweed. The maritime reserve can be exploited at an amount of 150, ,000 tons a year. 9 Furthermore, there are about 13,559 ha of salt water and brackish area which can be developped to raise various kinds of aquatic products. There are 20 ports in Ba Ria Vung Tau, having a total capacity of 34 million tons/year, of which 11 in the Cai Mep Thi Vai port cluster and 9 in Vung Tau. The Cai Mep Thi Vai is a

6 seaport group situated at the river mouth of Thi Vai River and Cai Mep River. The area of Sao Mai Ben Dinh at the mouth of two rivers, i.e. Dinh and Long Tau of Sai Gon Port, is suitable for deep water port construction to accommodate vessels of 80, ,000 tons. Ben Dam bay at Con Dao District (length: 4 km, average width: 1.6 km, depth: 6-18m) is only 60 km from the international maritime lines. It is quite convenient to build a port for intermediary transport of goods to other countries. 3.3 Mineral resources 10 + Oil and gas The most important resource of the 100,000km 2 -continetal shelf is oil and gas. Many oil fields with large commercial value have been exploited such as Bach Ho (White Tiger), Rong (Dragon), Dai Hung (Great Bear), Thanh Long (Blue Dragon), Rang Dong (The Dawn), etc. The reserve is about 300 million m 3 of oil and the ratio of accompanied gas is 100 billion m 3 of gas, accounting respectively for 93.29% and 16.2% of the whole country. The oil and gas distribute mainly at Cuu Long Basin and South Con Son Basin. The accompanied and natural gas with substantial reserve allows exploiting of 6 billion m 3 per year. This is the gas supplying for the Ba Ria Vung Tau Power Station, the Phu My Power Center, and a part of the Dinh Co Liquefied Gas Plant (LGP). Particularly, in the on Con Son hollow area, two natural oil fields named Lan Tay and Lan Do with gas reserve of 58 billion m 3 were discovered. Basin Cuu Long South Con Son White Tiger Dragon Oil reserve (mil. ton) Gas reserve (bil. m 3 ) Oil and Gas fields (exploitable reserve) Dai Hung Thanh Long Lan Tay Lan Do Hong Ngoc and Rang Dong Oil reserve (mil. ton) Gas reserve (bil. m 3 ) Moc Tinh Rong Bay + Construction stone, ashler facing stone, cement additive, glass sand, bentonite, clay, kaolin (china clay), construction sand, peat, immenit ore (titan), etc. Mine Quantity Reserve Site Ashler facing stone 8 1,324 mil. m 3 Mainly in Con Dao District Cement additive 6 44 mil. tons 2 districts of Long Dat, Xuyen Moc Glass sand 3 44 mil. tons 2 districts of Xuyen Moc and Tan Thanh 3.4 Forest resources Land suitable for afforestation is 38,850 ha, accounting for 19.5% of natural area, of which the forest area is 30,186 ha (natural forest: 15,993 ha, forested are: 14,253 ha). So, the remaining area of 8,664 ha has no forest. There are two primeval forests in BR-VT, i.e. Binh Chau Phuoc Buu natural preservation area of 11,392 ha and the Con Dao national park of 5,998ha. The forest resource is declining because rich forest having reserve of 180m 3 /ha has disappeared. In the past, there were over 700 species of plants and over 200 species animals including many precious and rare species in the forest but they have almost been no more
