Rowley, Maduro sign 3 gas deals

Dec 06, 2016

Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley and Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro yesterday signed an historic gas deal here, which will allow T&T access to gas reserves from Venezuela’s Dragon Fields. Three agreements were signed but the details were not revealed.

The agreements are the first of their kind and were signed at the Presidential Palace here in Caracas before ministerial and energy teams from both countries.

In a brief statement following the signing, Rowley said yesterday’s development marks a commitment from both countries towards the significant and necessary commercial development of the hydro-carbon sector.

Maduro thanked Rowley for entering into the agreement and said finalising it will open doors towards the staircases of international markets and he looks forward to T&T climbing those stairs side by side with Venezuela.
