PDVSA at present is working Block 1 alone but PDVSA want to change things.
"In block 1 it would be us participating with a percentage plus maybe the help of a minority partner to complements us," Rodríguez said. Offshore experience would "of course" be a plus,Rodríguez added.
Allowing a third party to help in e & P block 1 is one way of get assurance that the work is going to be successfully.
All the four Deltana blocks that were given for E & P work in 2003, has yet declared commerciality. Chevron, who has two blocks, has said it has located 7 trillion cubic feet of proven reserves, but is waiting for the unitizasion of the field by Veneuela and Trinidad. Norway's Statoil, on block 4, interrupted its program there last year do to a rig's safety issue andwill resume work in July.Venezuela is currently producing some 6.3-6.5 billion cubic feet of gas a day (Bf3/d) but in maily for reijection in the the oil wells, needs 1-1.4 Bf3/d for energy generation.
