PDVSA: RESERVES, PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION
According to the Informe de Gestión Anual de PDVSA 2012, certified gas reserves in Venezuela now amount
to 196,409 billion cubic feet, about 30 percent of which are associated with the FPO.
In 2012, 2,747 million cubic feet of gas were incorporated, 89 percent of which comes from review of existing
fields. The remaining 11 percent come from the discovery of new deposits.
Most of Venezuela’s gas reserves are located north and northeast of the country, in the eastern basin and
on the shores of the Caribbean and Atlantic continental shelf in an area of over 500 thousand square
kilometers.
