Foreign oil companies interested in selling light crude oil to PDVSA

Petroleras extranjeras interesadas en vender crudo ligero a PDVSA

Intel ID : 227895
Synopsis

Venezuela-based state-owned oil company PDVSA received offers from foreign oil companies for the sale of light crude oil, reported Reuters Latin America on 3 August, 2015, citing two sources from the interested companies.

PDVSA needs light crude oil to dilute its extra-heavy oil production. To continue with the current production levels of its crude reserves, the oil company needs to secure a steady supplier of diluents.

The interested oil companies are Netherlands-based Royal Dutch Shell (Euronext Amsterdam/LSE:RDSA), Norway-based Statoil (Oslo Børs:STO), US-based Chevron (NYSE:CVX), India-based Reliance Industries (NSE:RELIANCE) and Essar Oil, and PetroChina (SHA:601857).

The payment terms for the contracts are unknown, but it is known PDVSA has cash flow issues which hinder its ability to pay cash.

PDVSA launched the search for a new supplier in late July (see related intel).

PDVSA, petrolera estatal venezolana, ha recibido ofertas de petroleras extranjeras para la venta de crudo ligero, ha publicado Reuters América Latina el 3 de agosto de 2015, citando dos fuentes de las empresas interesadas.

PDVSA necesita el crudo ligero para diluir su producción de petróleo extrapesado. Por lo tanto, para continuar con los niveles actuales de producción de sus reservas de crudo, la petrolera necesita asegurar un proveedor estable de diluyente.

Las petroleras interesadas serían la holandesa Royal Dutch Shell (Euronext Amsterdam/LSE:RDSA), la noruega Statoil (Oslo Børs:STO), la estadounidense Chevron (NYSE:CVX), las indias Reliance Industries (NSE:RELIANCE) y Essar Oil, y PetroChina (SHA:601857).

La forma de pago de los contratos todavía se desconoce, pero sí se sabe que PDVSA tiene problemas de flujo de caja que le dificultan hacer pagos en efectivo.

PDVSA lanzó la búsqueda de un nuevo proveedor a fines de julio (ver intel relacionado).
