Nghi Son Refinery is the second oil refinery in Vietnam. It is located about 200 kilometres (120 mi) south of Hanoi in Tinh Gia District of Thanh Hóa Province. Site-clearing for the project broke ground in 2008. Construction began on 23 October 2013, and refinery operations were targeted for 2017. Planned capacity is 200,000 barrels per day (32,000 m3/d), slightly greater than that of Vietnam's first Dung Quat refinery. The site-clearing phase entailed the resettlement of 350 households with 1,500 people and the surface leveling of the area.
