  • Las Relaciones China Y América Latina En 2015
    Las relaciones China y América Latina en 2015 Marcos Cordeiro Pires, Gustavo Enrique Santillán y José Luis Valenzuela Álvarez 52 Introducción Los organizadores del Anuario de la Integración 2015 de CRIES nos desafiaron a pensar la evolución de las relaciones latinoamericanas durante el período 2014/2015. Si concentrásemos el análisis en el comercio y las inversiones, como habíamos hecho en la edición anterior, no tendríamos mucho para decir. Por eso, buscamos analizar la evolución de las relaciones sino-latinoamericanas a partir de nuevos elementos, como los avances en el campo político, el impacto de la reducción de los precios de los commodities en las economías locales, e inclusive en el impacto del ingreso de compañías automovilísticas chinas en el MERCOSUR. De hecho, cuando se analiza la relación entre China y los países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) entre 2014 y 2015, la primera cuestión a ser considerada es la caída en el volumen de comercio entre los socios. De manera específica, en el caso de Brasil, tras haber alcanzado el flujo comercial su punto cúlmine en 2013 -momento en que sumó 83 mil millones de dólares- ocurrió una reducción del 7%, para 2014, o sea, un monto de 78 mil millones. Para los primeros nueve meses de 2015, este volumen cayó aún más, en un 16% respecto al en 2015 China y América Latina Las relaciones mismo período de 2014. Visto desde el lado latinoamericano, además de la caída en el volumen exportado a China, pesó la fuerte reducción en el precio de commodities como la soja (-25%), el hierro (-54%), el petróleo (-50%) y el azúcar (-20%), revelando así una crisis de mayor profundidad, que ha alcanzado a otros países de ALC.

  • Venezuela and Petróleos De Venezuela SA (PDVSA)
    Country Report: Venezuela and Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) Carlos A. Molina, Associate Professor at IESA Business School Associate Professor at IESA Business School in Venezuela since 2005, Carlos Molina was previously Assistant Professor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and the University of Texas at San Antonio. Carlos earned his Ph.D. in Finance (2002) from the University of Texas at Austin, MBA (1994) from IESA, and BS in Civil Engineering from the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (1990) in Caracas. As a country, Venezuela has one of the largest oil reserves in the world; new discoveries, like the Orinoco oil belt fields, may mean it will someday ascend to the #1 spot. Like most countries with large oil reserves, Venezuela’s oil assets are managed by a state- owned company. This energy brief focuses on the recent history of oil production and investment within Venezuela, as well as its opportunities and challenges. History and Founding of PDVSA Before 1976, oil exploration companies, such as Creole, Shell, and others, were dedicated to the exploration, production, and refinement of oil in Venezuela, while the State limited itself to receiving taxes and royalties for those activities. However, after the increases in oil prices from $4 to $12 a barrel in the early 1970s, the Venezuelan government decided to nationalize the oil industry, and Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) was born as a vertically-oriented merger of foreign oil companies with operations in Venezuela at that time. After the nationalization, PDVSA privately undertook all oil activities in Venezuela until 1992.

Source: http://geology.com/usgs/venezuela-heavy-oil/venezuela-oil-map-lg.jpg Update on extra heavy oil development in Venezuela 2012 is likely to be a crucial year for the climate, as Venezuela aims to ramp up production of huge reserves of tar sands-like crude in the eastern Orinoco River Belt.i Venezuela holds around 90% of proven extra heavy oil reserves globally, mainly located in the Orinoco Belt. The Orinoco Belt extends over a 55,000 Km2 area, to the south of the Guárico, Anzoátegui, Monagas, and Delta Amacuro states (see map). It contains around 256 billion barrels of recoverable crude, according to state oil company PDVSA.ii Certification of this resource means that, in July 2010, Venezuela overtook Saudia Arabia as the country with the largest oil reserves in the world.iii Petróleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA), the state oil company, is also now the world’s fourth largest company.iv Development of the Orinoco Belt is the keystone of the Venezuelan government’s future economic plans – oil accounts for 95% of the country’s export earnings and around 55% of the federal budget.v The government has stated that it is seeking $100 billion of new investment to develop the Belt.vi President Chavez announced at the end of 2011 that the country intended to boost its oil output to 3.5 million barrels a day by the end of 2012.

  • Reviewing the Strategies for Natural Gas Buenos Aires, 5 - 9 October 2009
    24th World Gas Conference The Global Energy Challenge: Reviewing the Strategies for Natural Gas Buenos Aires, 5 - 9 October 2009 THE GAS POTENTIAL OF THE SUB-ANDEAN BASINS; THE CURRENT EXPLORATION STATUS AND THE FUTURE PROSPECTIVITY AS AN ENERGY RESOURCE FOR THE REGIONAL MARKET Authors: Marcelo Rosso*, Patricio Malone*, Gustavo Vergani* *Geoscience Department, PLUSPETROL SA. Keywords: Sub-Andean basins; non-associated Gas, basin, Exploration Abstract This paper aims to review the Gas potential of the Sub-Andean basins in South America. Based on the exploration work carried out and the gas fields already discovered, the authors assess the remaining potential of this energy resource in the region. Due to the particular geological characteristics of the Intracratonic and the Active and Passive margin basins of South America, they are not included within the scope of this study. The sub-Andean Basins cover an area of about 2.6 million km2 extending south from Venezuela to Tierra del Fuego in the southernmost part of Argentina and Chile. These basins contain about 4% and 9 % of the total world gas and oil proven reserves respectively. This paper briefly describes the Petroleum Systems in place, the exploration maturity of the Sub- Andean Basins and the possibilities for new exploration. Finally, a succint description of the main challenges the industry is facing in the region for the gas prospection, the necessary exploration works to be carried out and the present status of the gas as an energy supply for the southern cone is given. The Gas Potential of the Sub Andean Basins 1 24th World Gas Conference, 5-9 October 2009 GEOLOGICAL SETTING: The South America basement (Pre-Cambrian) outcrops in the entire central region of the continent encompassing eastern and northern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, southern Venezuela, eastern Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia and central-southern Argentina.
