TOKYO -- Mitsui will invest roughly 84 billion yen ($560 million) to develop a gas field in southern Vietnam under a project led by the Southeast Asian nation's state oil company, the Japanese trading house announced Friday.
The Block B project in Kien Giang province includes field development as well as the construction of a pipeline connecting to a gas-fired power plant. Overall costs, including related outlays, will exceed $10 billion.
