Chevron Corporation announced today it has, through its subsidiaries with interests in Venezuela, agreed to an asset swap with Petroleos de Venezuela, S. A. (“PDVSA”) and subsidiaries of PDVSA in a mutually beneficial agreement which will consolidate all parties’ focus on strategic assets in the country.
“This agreement expands Chevron’s heavy oil position in two key joint ventures in Venezuela and reflects our disciplined development of the country’s significant resources. Ayacucho 8 is a producing asset in close proximity to Petropiar, which enhances development efficiencies,” said Javier La Rosa, President of Chevron Base Assets and Emerging Countries. “This asset swap marks another important step in Chevron’s long history in Venezuela and reinforces our role in supporting regional energy security.”
