Tanker collision cuts Venezuela crude exports

摘要

A weekend tanker collision at Venezuelan state-owned PdV's Jose terminal in eastern Venezuela has temporarily reduced crude exports by some 200,000 b/d until "slight structural damages" are repaired, the energy ministry said. Before the collision that took place at the terminal's south wharf, Jose was exporting about 950,000 b/d of crude, mainly Merey 16 blend. The wharf was affected structurally and will remain out of service "for the time being."
