BP Pauses Talks with Venezuela on Gas Project
NATGAS
BP has paused discussions with Venezuela for the development of a gas project on its maritime border with Trinidad & Tobago, according to Reuters.
- This follows the expiration of a US license in April which allowed international companies to work with Venezuela’s energy industry.
- BP intends to resume talks with Venezuela when it can “legally do so”.
- After the expiration of the general license 44 in April, it was replaced by GL44A which allows companies to apply for an individual licence exempting them from sanctions against Venezuela.
