RIL evaluating multi-billion dollars investment in Venezuela

04 Sep 2013 Evaluate

Mukesh Ambani owned Reliance Industries (RIL) is mulling to invest multi-billion dollars in 2-3 oil blocks offered by Venezuela, as it looks to expand its overseas energy assets. The company in next two months is expected to take a decision on these investments.

RIL, currently imports about 300,000 barrels per day of oil from Venezuela for processing at its twin refineries at Jamangar in Gujaratand plans to scale these volumes up to 400,000 bpd.

Years after dropping out of an ONGC-led consortium for developing Venezuela's giant oil fields, RIL is now keen on taking a project to produce heavy oil in the South American nation. The company, back in previous year, also signed MoU with Petroleos de Venezuela, or PDVSA, to develop a project in the Orinoco extra heavy crude belt.
