SANTO DOMINGO - High
officials of Venezuela
and the Dominican
Republic went through a
diagram on Friday of
Venezuelan natural gas
supply to the Dominican
Republic and Haiti.
The plan comprises the
building of a gas
pipeline which is
expected to
substantially reduce the
onerous fuel consumption
bill and it is sponsored
by the beneficiary
countries member of
Petrocaribe.
Dominican Minister of
Economy Vicente Bengoa
and the representative
of Petroleos de
Venezuela Anibal Rosa
said during a press
conference there are two
options that cost $105
million and $326
million, respectively.
One of the diagrams
describes a route
through the south of the
Dominican Republic to
Haiti and the other
through the north to the
same point and back.
Both routes were checked
during the 4th meeting
of the Petrocaribe Work
Group on Gas attended by
representatives of
Nicaragua, Jamaica,
Guatemala and Surinam.
Petrocaribe is a project
orchestrated by
Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez to supply
Caribbean and Central
American countries with
oil at low prices.
The sources refrained
from releasing the
treaty's closure date
but made emphasis on the
fact the gas pipeline
project might take 12 to
24 months depending on
the route chosen. |
