What happened
PDVSA is advancing an energy partnership with Africa, with the company planning to ship liquefied petroleum gas and bitumen to the continent during African Energy Week in Cape Town. This initiative follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed in February between the Ministry of People's Power for Hydrocarbons and PDVSA. The agreement commits both parties to upstream development, refinery modernization, and broadening technical training.
