State-run oil holding Petróleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa) and Spanish Repsol were expected on Friday to enter into an agreement whereby Repsol will invest USD 1.2 billion in joint venture Petroquiriquire.
A Pdvsa source told Efe that the agreement will be executed in the head offices of Pdvsa in Caracas after several adjournments.
The financing plan was expected to be signed last December. However, the event was adjourned without the parties providing further details.
Venezuela's Minister of Petroleum and Mining and Pdvsa's President Rafael Ramírez said last December that Repsol would fund with the promised amount of USD 1.2 billion joint projects in Petroquiriquire, a joint venture located in Lake Maracaibo, where Pdvsa has the majority owner's share.
The investment is to reinforce Repsol's involvement in Venezuela, where it holds substantial projects, such as drilling in block Cardón IV, northeastern Falcón state, one of the largest gas reserves in the Americas and also counting on the involvement of Italian ENI and Russian Gazprom.
In addition, the Venezuelan government recently offered Repsol the establishment of another joint venture for exploitation of condensates in that same block. This would give the possibility of producing at least 24,000 barrels per day (bpd) of condensates, "a high quality hydrocarbon," according to the government.
Repsol technical manager of oil assets, Cosme Vargas, said at the end of last year that his company has anticipated an investment of USD 4 billion in 2013-2022.
Venezuela drills around 3 million bpd, 2.5 million out of which are exported, mainly to the United States and China.
