According to a statement Saturday by state-run Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), under the new agreement the Chinese National Petroleum Corporation Service and Engineering Ltd would transfer technology and provide personnel in oil exploration in the country.
PDVSA would handle 30 percent of all oil exploration and production activities in the country under the agreement. In return, it would increase crude oil supply to China by up to a million barrel per day before 2010, the statement said.
