[NYTr] Norwegion Co Reports Gas Find in Venezuela Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 14:03:54 -0500 (CDT) Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit Prensa Latina, Havana http://www.plenglish.com Gas Found in Venezuela, Norway's Statoil Says Caracas, Jul 9 (Prensa Latina) The Norwegian company Statoil drilled a well in Venezuela's Deltana Platform that will produce 58 million cubic feet a day, sources from Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) reported this weekend. According to a press release from the state-owned company, the 13,080-feet-deep Ballena well is part of a minimum program agreed upon to explore Block 4 of the 553-square-mile platform. The minimum exploratory program requires the drilling of three wells, two of which have been completed. The third one, called Orca IX, is scheduled for completion a few months from now. The total reserves of the northern Venezuelan region, near Trinidad and Tobago, are estimated at ten trillion cubic feet of gas. The exploitation of that field will turned this South American country into a world gas-producing power. sus jg ml PL-16 * ================================================================ .NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems .
