* PDVSA and French oil Company Signed an Investment Agreement for US$ 400 Million

January 8, 2019

The Venezuelan company Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) signed an investment agreement with the French company Maurel & Prom on Monday for US$ 400 million to increase oil production in Lake of Maracaibo, Zulia state, informed the Minister for Oil, Manuel Quevedo. After a meeting held at the Miraflores Palace in Caracas, Quevedo said that these investment agreements will allow production to increase in the Petro Regional del Lago joint venture, in Zulia, to 70 thousand barrels of oil per day.

On a VTV broadcast he indicated that the investments will begin immediately to allow administrative management to assume the agreed objectives. He added that PDVSA will retain 60% of the income of this mixed company.

Quevedo ratified PDVSA’s invitation to foreign capital to invest in the country under the premise win-win, as they have the guarantees established by the National Government.

For his part, the general director of Maurel & Prom, Michael Hochard, said that this project is ambitious and that they are committed to be up to what it represents. He also thanked the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, for the welcome, and said that his teams will work to the fullest for this new alliance.

Earlier, the national leader met with representatives of the company in Miraflores, as part of the work agenda promoted by the National Executive to increase oil production within the framework of the Economic Recovery, Growth and Prosperity Program.

Orinoco Tribune operates without any advertising. We are not funded by any governments, think tanks, or large institutions. Our operations are entirely funded by readers like you. Our most generous donors have been targeted by the US for supporting socialist causes or are financially struggling. As a result, their accounts have been frozen, cutting off a significant revenue stream and severely threatening the sustainability of Orinoco Tribune.

We urge our readers and supporters, especially those not currently doing so, to help us with small donation (such as US $5 or $10/month) via Patreon, via Paypal/Credit-Card/crypto or via paper checks. Readers and supporters like you will allow us to continue bringing you progressive and hard-hitting news from Latin America, the Global South, and the world.

Help us reach our goal of $650 in monthly Patreon donations. We are counting on you as our only source of financial support!
