Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) and the Kòrsou Refinery (RdK) signed an agreement to reactivate commercial relations between Venezuela and Curacao.
This was reported by the state oil company, through its account on the social network X.
According to information from the PDVSA portal, the agreement establishes general agreements for the reestablishment of commercial and financial operations between state oil companies.
He highlights that the agreement establishes the possibility of studying the feasibility so that the Venezuelan oil industry can store its crude oil in the facilities on the Caribbean island.
The source states that the agreement will have a favorable impact on the economies of both countries, since it would be associated with the reactivation of the old Isla Refinery, with a processing capacity of 335 thousand barrels per day.
In this sense, as a result of this agreement, relations between both companies (PDVSA and RDK) will be normalized and with this the pending labor commitments will be resolved.
In the future - the information indicates - the aim is to guarantee the generation of new jobs on the island, obtain economic benefits and recover Curacao's role as a strategic ally of PDVSA.
Pedro Rafael Tellechea, Minister of Popular Power of Petroleum and president of PDVSA, who highlighted the great agreement between PDVSA and RdK, stated “today we can celebrate that we are signing the necessary agreements to continue moving forward, reaching a happy ending, where they will count with some Venezuelan brothers and their beloved PDVSA, to give it the technical and operational strengthening that is required for our beloved refinery, here in Curacao, to be successful.”
Tellechea also stressed that "we cannot see the limitations, we have to see our capabilities in order to continue growing as brothers."
Participating in the meeting were Luis Molina, vice president of Exploration and Production and president of the Venezuelan Petroleum Corporation (CVP), Patrick Newton Director of the K'òurso Refinery and Gilmar Pisas, prime minister of Curacao, as well as other authorities representing the refining complex. .
