Last weekend, Venezuela completed the installation of the first floating oil platform by the Chinese company Concord Resources Corp. in Lake Maracaibo, Zulia state.

“The central infrastructure of the project is the Alula platform, a jack-up offshore unit flying the flag of São Tomé and Príncipe. The structure departed from the port of Zhoushan, China, and was guided by a tugboat under the Lake Maracaibo bridge toward Lagunillas.”

This project represents a $1 billion investment aimed at “reactivating production in the Lago Cinco and Lagunillas fields and reaching 60,000 barrels per day by 2026.”

CCRC operates under a 20-year production-sharing contract with Venezuelan oil company PDVSA and has deployed Chinese specialists to reopen at least 100 inactive wells.

It was learned that the goal of this project is to increase production in the Lago Cinco and Lagunillas fields “from the current 12,000 barrels per day to 60,000 bpd by the end of 2026,” following a plan to allocate light crude to PDVSA and export heavy crude to China.

The Venemergencia Foundation’s Public Access Defibrillation Program has arrived in Maracaibo in partnership with Seguros Venezuela. Thanks to a donation from the insurance company, the first Venemergency Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in Maracaibo was installed on August 6th at the Basilica of Our Lady of Chiquinquirá. The area surrounding the Basilica and downtown Maracaibo became a cardioprotected zone, a tool that significantly improves care for any cardiac emergencies that may arise.

The installation of the AED was preceded by a Thanksgiving Mass for the entire parishioners, officiated by the Parish Priest and Rector of the Basilica, Father Nedward Andrade. The AED installation ceremony was then held, attended by Carmen Alicia Guillén, CEO of Seguros Venezuela, along with other members of the insurance company’s team. Representing Venemergencia was Dr. Luis Enrique Velásquez, founding partner and Operating Director, accompanied by members of the healthcare company’s management and regional team.

“I want to thank Seguros Venezuela and the Venemergencia Foundation for their generosity. Thanks to their vision and commitment, this gift of life has become a reality today,” said the Parish Priest and Rector of the Basilica. In his homily, he added: “Their collaboration is a clear example of how private companies and non-profit organizations can come together to serve the community.”

Increased access, strengthened, and protected healthcare

This alliance between the Venemergencia Foundation and Seguros Venezuela seeks to protect and strengthen the healthcare of the Maracaibo community by promoting joint efforts to facilitate and increase access to healthcare for Venezuelans. As part of the automated external defibrillator installation event, “basic life support” courses were given to people who are present or frequent the parish, so they would have the tools to act as first responders in the event of cardiovascular emergencies.

“Maracaibo became a safer city. This project was very valuable to us, as it allowed us to continue supporting the community and have a direct connection with it, putting the safety and well-being of Maracaibo residents first. At Seguros Venezuela, we will continue to support the Venezuelan community,” said Carmen Alicia Guillén, Executive President of Seguros Venezuela.

“Every second counts in an emergency. Every minute that passes reduces the probability of survival by between 7% and 10%,” said Dr. Luis Velásquez, who explained that “with the installation of the defibrillator, an essential tool is provided that can make the difference between life and death.”

To date, Fundación Venemergencia has installed 26 defibrillators in the country. Of these, 15 were donated by the foundation to various plazas, communities, and institutions in Caracas, such as the headquarters of El Sistema, the Church of Our Lady of La Candelaria, the Palace of Academies, and, most recently, the University of Carabobo.

Among the production objectives of the Venezuelan oil company PDVSA are plans to “restart drilling after five years of inactivity, even before the relaxation of sanctions,” as leaked by Reuters.

In this sense, the president of the oil company, Pedro Tellechea, has indicated that Venezuela is focused on reactivating 27,966 wells located in the oldest oil region in the territory, in the state of Zulia.

According to Tellechea, this could represent 1.7 million barrels per day (bpd) in national production. “However, experts note that to achieve such a drastic increase from this year’s 780,000 bpd production, PDVSA and its partners could need up to a decade of hard work and sustained investment.”

As an aspect against these expectations are the reports from Baker Hughes, which specify that the South American country only has “one active drilling platform of the more than 80 units that were operational in 2014.”

However, according to the Reuters agency, Pdvsa began negotiations with local and foreign oil companies in order to contract equipment and services that will allow it to reactivate the oil zone in the state of Zulia, where inactive SLB (former Schlumberger) equipment stands out. , Nabors Industries and Evertson International.

In this shift to reactivate inactive wells, the Venezuelan oil company is also considering the east of the country, since before the Barbados agreement, with temporary relief from some sanctions, PDVSA has been trying to recover wells and platforms in the southern part of the Anzoátegui state.
