Shell Co is seeking opportunities to invest in oil field in Vietnam, according to Tim Ford, Shell firm’s vice chair in Asia-Pacific area.

Shell forecasted Vietnam’s annual oil growth would be 7-8 percent, higher than average growth of 4-6 percent in Asian markets.

Ford also forecasted that Shell’s oil market share in Vietnam will range 8-10 percent and the company is mapping out plan to increase market share to 13 percent like Shell has gained in the world market.

Ford said that 2009 was a rough year for companies due to heavy impacts from the world economic recession. But, Shell oil firm still posted growth of 5-10 percent. He expected that in coming years, Shell oil firm will maintain a two-digit growth in Vietnam market.
