As part of a sovereign policy of respectful relations and strategic cooperation, the Acting President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, held a work meeting with representatives of the British hydrocarbon company, Shell, in the “Simón Bolívar” Hall of Miraflores Palace to evaluate gas projects.
At the meeting were present Adam Lowmass, Regional Vice President of Shell S.A., Cederic Cremers, President of Global Gas, Elías Nucette, Vice President of Shell S.A., and Alfredo Urdaneta, representative in Venezuela of Shell S.A, as well as Héctor Obregón, President of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., among other Venezuelan authorities.
It is worth noting that Venezuela is the country with the world’s largest oil reserves, since it counts with 300 billion proven barrels, and is heading to become the world’s fourth-largest holder of natural gas reserves.
Hydrocarbons Sector:
Along the same vein, it is important to emphasize that the Hydrocarbons Sector encompasses three fundamental elements for the growth of the oil sector, such as production, supply, and export, forming a perfect formula for energy growth of the country.
Therefore, last January 29, the National Assembly (AN) unanimously approved the Partial Reform of the Organic Law on Hydrocarbons, which adapts to a new global energy context and promotes investment, prioritizing national production.
Within this context, this Wednesday, February 25, the Acting President held a meeting with high-ranking representatives of the African Energy Chamber (AEC) in order to strengthen energy alliances that will contribute to the development of the oil and gas sector.
The Shell Company:
Shell is primarily a large global energy company engaged in the production of oil, natural gas, and renewable energy solutions, and with its central headquarters in The Hague.
This company has a long history with an uninterrupted presence in more than 70 countries, including Venezuela, where it maintains social investment and energy activities.
