ONGC OVL to invest $450 mn in Venezuela

ONGC OVL will be investing around $450 million in Venezuela where the company has picked up a 40% stake in an oil gas block, Union Petroleum Minister Murli Deora said.

The block in San Cristabel has a reserve of around 250-million tonnes, he told reporters here today.

Deora said he would be going to Venezuela tomorrow to sign an agreement to this effect with PDBSA, which holds the remaining 60% in the block.

Production is expected to start in about three years time, the Minister said.
