State-run Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) has announced
that it will achieve higher production and reserve volumes with joint
drilling in several fields together with Belarus company Belarusneft.
PDVSA leadership confirmed in a press release it is currently evaluating
the possibility of operating five or six mature fields with modern
technologies which will allow to improve productivity in existing
deposits.
The company reported that profits and revenues obtained will go
to fund social projects included in the Plan Siembra Petrolera
The beginning of joint operations by PDVSA and Belarusneft are part
of a bilateral agenda discussed recently by president Hugo Chavez
with his Belarus peer, Alexander Lukashenko, during the former's
visit to the European nation.
Delegations of both nations, meeting in this capital, are putting
the finishing touches to several cooperation projects in strategic
fields of common interest.
The main topics in the energy, petrochemical and oil sector are
the quantification and certification of reserves in block Junin 1
