Venezuela is in contact with energy companies to exploit the Plataforma Deltana gas field near Trinidad and Guyana as it steps up pressure on the latter over a territorial dispute, Reuters reported.
The project aims to restart work at the offshore site for the first time in more than 10 years, according to five unidentified people cited by Reuters. The area has estimated reserves of at least 7 trillion cubic feet.
