據中國石化新聞網訊 路透社12月5日新德里報道,印度石油天然氣公司(ONGC)的一位高級官員表示,該公司已從委內瑞拉石油公司(PDVSA)收到3200萬美元的付款,作為解決未償還股息的一部分,并表示希望委內瑞拉國有石油公司能定期支付更多款項。 “這是一個良好的發展,” 印度石油天然氣公司海外投資部門ONGC Videsh的董事總經理NK Verma說。 “在這期間,由于他們國家的財政緊張,出現了一些停頓。我們希望現在PDVSA能夠正常運行,并且商定的機制能夠繼續下去?!盫erma補充道。 ONGC擁有委內瑞拉圣克里斯托瓦爾項目40%的股份,其余部分由PDVSA持有。 2016年,PDVSA和ONGC Videsh簽署了一項協議,意味著這家國有的印度公司將從每天17,000桶石油的銷售中獲得資金,以結清5.37億美元的未償還股息。PDVSA支付了大約9000萬美元,但還沒有支付剩余的費用。 PDVSA面臨美國和國際法院就未決債務提起的訴訟,最近已經開始向一些債權人(主要是石油公司)支付款項,以避免資產被沒收。 該公司還試圖通過努力履行對外國合作伙伴的部分義務,來刺激對委內瑞拉日益解體的石油行業的投資。委內瑞拉的石油年產量正處于近70年來的最低水平。 上個月,路透社報道稱,PDVSA已經運送了價值約3500萬美元的原油貨物,這筆錢將用于支付給ONGC Videsh。 李方征 編譯自 路透社 原文如下: ONGC gets $32 million payment from Venezuela’s PDVSA India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corp has received a payment of $32 million from Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) as part of a settlement of outstanding dividend payments and said it now hopes that Venezuela’s state oil firm will be regular in making further payments, a senior ONGC official said. “It is a good development,” said N. K. Verma, managing director of ONGC Videsh, the overseas investment arm of ONGC. “In between there was some break because of financial strain in their country. We hope now PDVSA will be regular and the agreed mechanism will continue,” Verma added. ONGC has a 40 percent stake in Venezuela’s San Cristobal project, with PDVSA holding the remainder. In 2016, PDVSA and ONGC Videsh signed a deal that meant the state-owned Indian firm would get money from the sale of 17,000 barrels per day of oil to settle outstanding dividend payments of $537 million. PDVSA paid about $90 million of that but has not paid the rest. PDVSA, which faces U.S. and international court actions over pending debts, recently has begun paying some creditors, mostly in oil, to avoid asset seizures. The company is also seeking to stimulate investment in Venezuela’s unraveling oil industry, where annual production is at its lowest in almost seven decades, by trying to meet some of its obligations to foreign partners. Last month, Reuters reported that PDVSA had shipped a crude cargo valued at about $35 million and that the money realised would be used for a payment to ONGC Videsh. ?
