NO TA ON THIS THREAD PLEASE - (edit) and no pointless speculations either!

I've created this thread just to park stuff in that is only tangentially-related to SOCO's interests and doesn't relate to any of the specific assets.

Resource-rich Vietnam is to build its first university dedicated to training people to work in the oil and gas industry, the government said Thursday, as it ramps up production.

The university will be a unit of state-run Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group .....Expected to open in 2015, it will be able to train 17,000 students annually, it added

Two curious things about this story - first it is apparently going to train 17,000 a year .....that should be enough to keep most of the oil and gas labour market in Asia supplied??

Second it will actually be run by Petrovietnam, according to the article - which suggests that they'd better get a move on with some project sanctions so that the poor beggars who go into it in 2015 have a bunch of places to work when they come out!

Presumably the TGT government approval must really be pretty close now??
