(Energy Analytics Institute, Aaron Simonsky, 8.May.2018) – Venezuela’s Oil Minister and PDVSA President Manuel Quevedo traveled to Maturín to meet with representatives from companies that provide services to PDVSA’s Eastern Production division.
Everything that we are proposing at this stage of the industry would not be possible without the workers, reported PDVSA in an official statement, citing Quevedo. “It deals with expanding projects and new alliances based on ethics and values,” he said.
In the meetings, Quevedo stressed the importance of Emergency Economic Decree No. 3,368 published in the Official Gazette No. 41,376. The decree authorized creation of a Special and Transitory Regime for the state oil company aimed to expedite paperwork related to contracting.
“The decree will establish a new order that permits for a speedy process and end bureaucratic procedures,” said Quevedo.
