Overview
PV GAS (HOSE: GAS) dismissed General Director Phạm Văn Phong effective 21/07/2026 and, at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting on 14/09/2026, elected Bùi Minh Tiến as Chairman and Dương Trí Hội as General Director for the 2026–2031 term. The changes are part of more than 30 senior personnel disclosures at 10 listed oil and gas companies in the first nine months of 2026, which TCBS describes as a leadership domino originating at Petrovietnam rather than a series of isolated events.
Key Facts

- PV GAS removed General Director Phạm Văn Phong from 21/07/2026; a Deputy General Director ran the company for nearly two months.
- The 14/09/2026 extraordinary shareholders’ meeting elected Bùi Minh Tiến (from Petrovietnam’s Board of Members) as Chairman and Dương Trí Hội as General Director for 2026–2031.
- PVTrans (PVT) went through three CEOs in five months: Nguyễn Duyên Hiếu left after the April AGM for PV Drilling, Trần Ngọc Nguyên resigned after roughly 2.5 months for personal reasons, and Nguyễn Thanh Bình, former PV GAS Chairman, took the CEO role from 03/08/2026.

What Happened
According to the TCBS report, the sequence began with the vacancy in Petrovietnam’s Chairman position in December 2025. The group’s General Director stepped up to fill that role, a Deputy General Director was appointed to the group CEO position in May 2026, and group Deputy General Directors and Board members were dispatched to chair member corporations, including OIL in April and GAS in September. Vacancies at member units were then filled from elsewhere in the ecosystem, producing the circular rotation pattern TCBS identifies as the dominant feature of the year.
At PV GAS specifically, the company took personnel from outside rather than promoting internally. Phạm Văn Phong’s dismissal left the CEO seat with a Deputy General Director for close to two months, and the September extraordinary meeting installed a Chairman and CEO drawn from Petrovietnam and the wider group. The report notes that most companies simultaneously closed their 2021–2026 Board terms, making the 2026 AGM season the point at which the entire chain was formalised.
Market Context
GAS closed at VND 88,600 on 17/09/2026, three days after the extraordinary meeting that confirmed the new Chairman and CEO. PVT traded at VND 23 on 18/09/2026 with volume of 809,100 shares, while OIL closed at VND 14,500 and DCM at VND 32,800 on 17/09/2026. The reshuffle touches a cluster of HOSE-listed energy and fertiliser names, and arrives as Petrovietnam group companies complete the 2021–2026 Board cycle that governs most of their governance calendars.
Strategic Significance
For long-term holders, the distinguishing feature of this cycle is the succession model. DCM and Petrovietnam applied internal promotion, moving the General Director into the Chairman seat within a single meeting and keeping the operating apparatus continuous. GAS did the opposite, importing leadership from Petrovietnam and sister units, which resets the executive team’s tenure and its relationship with the parent group. PVTrans, with three CEOs in five months, carries the clearest continuity risk. The circular rotation also concentrates group-level influence across listed subsidiaries, a governance variable that matters for minority shareholders assessing related-party dynamics.
What to Watch
- PV GAS disclosures on the new Board’s committee assignments and any revision to the 2026–2031 business plan.
- PVTrans’ next quarterly report for signs of operational disruption following the CEO turnover.
- Petrovietnam’s remaining leadership appointments, including any permanent Chairman confirmation.
- 2027 AGM season filings confirming whether the rotation pattern continues or stabilises.
- Related-party transaction disclosures at GAS, PVT and DCM following the cross-entity appointments.
